After Political Violence: Human Rights, Policies, Sequels and memories in Post-War Peru

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

The Peruvian Internal Armed conflict (1980-2000) left several legacies and consequences that still permeate Peruvian political and social lives, and thus keep shaping new phenomena that are progressively being incorporated into research agendas. The three presentations in this Panel aim to follow the traces of that period into contemporary political activities and subjectivities. The Panel will analyze the political languages in the reparations programs and their possible consequences for the victims; the interactions between displaced populations and attention programs; and the connections between the affection by political violence in women from Ayacucho and current patterns of domestic violence.
