The violence stands out between the "miseries" of the modern life, installed in the commonness as shades of the human condition, in such a diversity that prevents from reducing it to the mere criminal figure; source of sufferings, uncertainties, frustrations in aspirations of good to live, health, happiness. The violent condition undresses crisis of senses, breaks of links in a company, which daily chronicle the sick, immature, discontented sample threatened with disintegration, disconcerted by global results of the "development"; the failure of the civilizatory project of the illustration. The trend to "technical solution" of the world of instrumental rationality, reduces the problematic public violence - health, to the analytical - measurable boarding, studies of risk - causality, positivists epidemiologies, traditional policies. It attributes the power of intervention to the State and "experts" in Public traditional Health, despising the construction socialcommunitary of health - life as common good, under a vision of social determination of Collective Health. Limiting his boarding as social pathology, complex sociohistorical phenomenon, in whose roots and sociocultural entails sublie anthropologic processes. Globalizations and massive means impose logics of root epistemic western, authorize standards, emerging processes of transculturation-acculturation; they change cultures, spread unhealthy manners of life, sweep human wealths, solidarities, singularity, difference; reproblematizy identities personal - social, hiperindividualismo-consumerism, conflict - resistance. Challenge or Surrender? I defy for a Sociocultural Anthropology, rethinking the investigation-formation-praxis in public violence - health, the implicit theories of the daily knowledge, knows concealed for acculturations; collective potentials to construct conviviality - health. Knowledge jointer of commonness, cultures, collective subjectivities, sense of community life, citizenship, participation - construction of collective rights, feelings of brotherhood, peace, harmonic conviviality, no violence condition; bases for new Processes of Social Learning.
