This article considers mystical violence and the role of shamans in two villages in eastern Nicaragua. In one of these villages - a predominantly Ulwa community called Karawala - sorcery accusations and intimations constitute an important area of discourse in discussions of the causes of misfortune, while in the other - a Miskitu community called Kakabila - ghostly attacks are much more significant. The analysis is comparative in focus, presenting the many similarities shared by these communities, while at the same time isolating important variations that might account for the differing emphases on sorcery and ghostly attack. Consideration of beliefs and practices surrounding death and the role of shamans in the diagnoses of the causes of misfortune suggests that the differing emphases on sorcery and ghostly attack in these two contexts must be understood as refractions of how potentially conflictive relationships within the (re)productive process, crucially perceived in both translocal and local terms, are managed.RésuméL'auteur s'intéresse à la violence mystique et au rôle des chamanes dans deux villages de l'Est du Nicaragua. Dans l'un de ces villages nommé Karawala, à population principalement ulwa, les accusations et suggestions de sorcellerie constituent un sujet important du discours dans les discussions sur les causes de malheurs. Dans l'autre, un village miskitu nommé Kakabila, l'accent est davantage mis sur les attaques de fantômes. L'approche de l'analyse est comparative et présente les nombreux points communs entre ces communautés, tout en isolant les différences importantes qui pourraient expliquer l'importance différente de la sorcellerie et des attaques de fantômes. L'examen des croyances et pratiques liées à la mort et au rôle des chamanes dans le diagnostic des causes de malheurs suggère que dans ces deux contextes, l'accentuation différenciée de la sorcellerie et des fantômes renvoie à la manière de gérer les relations potentiellement conflictuelles dans le processus de (re)production, jugées cruciales en termes translocaux aussi bien que locaux
