Résumé anglais Manifestations of Violence in Ammassalimiut Society (East Coast of Groenland) In the precarious balance of traditional Ammassalimiut society, this group had established social rules which reduced inequalities and minimized tensions within the community. In case of serious conflict, the group could arbitrate between the antagonists through a special ritual : the «duel of songs» performed by the latter. Contemporary society, in the midst of deep transformation, does not appear to have found means of controlling aggression, and in the past twenty years, internal violence has reached an alarming level.
