In this article, I seek to demonstrate how the 1986 massacre of nearly 250 at El Front on and Lurigancho prisons can shed light on the political and social exclusion faced by Shining Path militants, during and since Peru's internal armed conflict (1980-2000). I will analyse how Peruvian prisons have been historically used as sites of exclusion for political opponents of the Peruvian state. Then, through an analysis of literary responses to the massacres and the wider conflict, I will demonstrate how cultural producers have sought to recover Shining Path memories of violence, in order to highlight both the persistent socioeconomic conditions that precipitated Shining Path's insurrection and the continuing impunity for perpetrators of state violence. Finally, I will show that the recuperation of Shining Path memories in literary sources is undermined by the continuing silence of El Front on in Lima's memoryscape, and say what this tells us about the limits of acceptable memory discourse in present day Peru.

“…Julian's warning was not far from García's vision of native communities as an obstacle to his brand of progress (Drinot 2011; Stepputat 2004). His vision was exemplified by an editorial he published in 2007 in El Comercio , Peru's leading newspaper.…”

War by other means at the extractive frontier: the violence of reconstruction in ‘post‐war’ Peru

This article examines the meeting of local and national reconstruction priorities in the wake of Peru's internal war (officially, 1980‐2000). I focus on the impact of the state's extractivism‐led agenda on indigenous Asháninka people's projects of remaking themselves into Asháninka sanori (‘real Asháninka people’). Taking an Asháninka sanori‐centred analysis of their experience of war and post‐war violence, I propose an approach to understanding the impact of mainstream reconstruction efforts on survivors that centres on the latter's articulations of personhood. This approach, possible through ethnographic engagement, sets anthropology at the forefront of the necessary rethinking of mainstream reconstruction interventions to foster approaches that are supportive of survivors’ priorities. The article explores a continuum of violence through war and extractivism that is undoing the networks of relations through which a group of survivors constitute themselves as people and communities and set their aspirations for the future.

“…Por el contrario, las realidades de estos países parecen justamente apuntar hacia esa dirección (ver por ejemplo Boege; Brown; Clements, 2009; Schlichte, 2005). En el caso peruano, la convivencia de dos tipos de poderes ya ha sido explorada para el caso del gobierno de Alan García en relación al surgimiento de una gubernamentalidad neoliberal (Drinot, 2011;. Aplicar esta perspectiva teórica al VRAEM permite pensar el valle como un territorio en transición, e incluso en disputa, entre poder soberano y poder gubernamental.…”

Resumen La gobernanza de zonas con presencia de economías ilegales es parte de una amplia discusión académica, sin embargo es poco lo que se discute específicamente sobre las características del Estado en estas zonas. Por ello, a partir de un estudio de caso cualitativo, este artículo examina la interacción entre la intervención estatal en el Valle de los ríos Apurímac, Ene y Mantaro (VRAEM) y su objeto de gobierno. Esta zona es la principal cuenca cocalera del Perú y con presencia de remanentes terroristas, por lo que constituye una de las principales preocupaciones de seguridad del gobierno peruano. Gobernar el VRAEM ha sido siempre un desafío y no siempre se ha realizado según los planes del propio gobierno. Basado en conceptos de Foucault, este trabajo muestra que los habitantes del VRAEM son gobernados por al menos dos tipos de poderes desde el Estado: un poder soberano y un poder gubernamental. La convivencia entre estos tipos de poderes permite explorar las multiplicidades de prácticas gubernamentales existentes en la zona, así como las resistencias locales a ambos tipos de poder.
