    Violent dispossessions: understanding the configuration of lived territories in two Ashaninka communities in the Peruvian central Amazon region Despojos violentos: análisis de la configuración de los territorios habitados en dos comunidades ashaninka de la región amazónica central de Perú
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2026-01-01)
    Working on the history of Asháninka communities in Peru, we encountered constant references to their territories. Given that territory is a living part of the communities, of their experiences and the space where their collective histories unfold, this article explores, through the accounts of comuneros, the intimate relationship between, on the one hand, the slow, persistent and interlinked violences that communities have faced throughout their history, and, on the other, dispossession and envelopment. We adopt an ethnographic approach and a qualitative and comparative methodology based on participant observation, in-depth interviews and social mapping carried out between 2023 and 2024 in the Asháninka communities of San Jerónimo and Shankivironi in the central Peruvian Amazonia, specifically in the Junín region. Drawing from the collaboratively worked accounts, we identify the experiences of violence in these communities, the transformations they bring about and the ways in which they are shaping their territories. We conclude that, in reconstructing the histories of these Asháninka communities, violence has been and remains constitutive of their collective history and is fundamental to understanding the configuration of their territories.

    Sites of Memory in Peru: Agencies and Social Processes
    (Flacso Mexico, 2025-01-01)
    Memory sites have been one of the most widespread commemoration initiatives in post-conflict Peru. There is as much diversity in the initiatives as there are entrepreneurs, but they have not been consolidated through a policy that guides and articulates them. This paper analyzes the social processes behind the creation and functioning of three places of commemoration in a context of battles for memory: the museum “Para que no se repita” of Asociación Nacional de Familiares de Secuestrados, Detenidos y Desaparecidos del Perú; the Yalpana Wasi of the Government of Junín, and the Casa de la Memoria Viva of the Asociación Nuevo Amanecer. By examining these cases, we conclude that in Peru the memory sites have been constituted by effort of the victims or as part of political vehicles, without a state that articulates them and without an integral policy, pushing the entrepreneurs to look for sustainability strategies that generates an uncertain appropriation in the society.
