Item type:Publication, Filming horror in post-conflict Peru: Making and marketing La Casa Rosada(Springer, 2020-12-17)This chapter adopts an anthropological perspective to analyze the conditions, the modes of production, circulation, and exhibition of the film La casa rosada [The Pink House] (2017) by Ayacuchean director Palito Ortega Matute. The film recreates the impact of the armed conflict of 1980-2000 on the everyday lives of Ayacucheans at the time. Michael Herzfeld's concept of "cultural intimacy" is used to explore the film's highly artisanal and familial approach to filmmaking, which fostered a distinctive emotional connection with the local audience, triggered by their own memories of the ways that the city of Ayacucho experienced the conflict. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Podcasting collaborations and ontological relationships of being ‘here’ and ‘there’ in the Lower Marañón River in Peru(2021-11-12)This article is about podcasts and mobile phones not only as “daily technologies of life” but also as ways to convey personal stories and to do ethnographic research. However, we do not romanticize the use of digital technology for anthropological research. We use podcasts as a form to write our ethnographic work with our collaborators, and also as a way to keep in contact with our collaborators while in a global pandemic. For podcasts, we had to do several interviews and later edited them as both dialogues and individual stories. Interviews were mostly done by other digital devices such as WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, and telephone calls. The stories in our podcast series are mostly about an Amazonian indigenous community struggling to survive the global pandemic after several oil spills and other epidemics. Podcasts create a sort of intimacy and co-presence stimulating a multimodal, sensorial experience. However, power relations do not disappear, nor did they become invisible. Rather, power relations are accommodated in the new audio/digital scenario. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Measuring incommensurability: compensations in judicial processes of oil spills in Northern Peruvian Amazon(Routledge, 2022-01-01)The increasing number of claims filed by Indigenous peoples against pollution caused by extractive industries makes the challenge of factualizing and measuring the damage caused in their territories necessary. In Peru, the Kukama Kukamiria people are among the most affected by the various spills from the North Peruvian Pipeline since its construction, one of the most well-known occurred in the lower Marañón River in 2014. This paper is about the efforts and limitations involved in aligning the Kukama Kukamiria’s experiences with the criteria and frameworks for measuring damage and compensation amid the toxic environment and the complicated time and space of late capitalism. Based on ethnographic research and considering the judicial processes, the analysis found that compensation became a tool of dispute in which incommensurable Indigenous worlds emerged to claim for their incommensurability to exist. But in the Peruvian neoliberal and extractive context, compensation also became a technique for governing Indigenous lives and natures in a way that excludes those worlds. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Incommensurable worlds, irreparable wounds: Transitional justice politics and personal violent pasts in postconflict Peru(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2022-12-01)Reparation programmes in transitional justice processes imply that there are ways to repair social bonds, to dignify victims of violence, to reconstitute what is lost. But how does losing a relative translate into the twists and turns of a state social programme? Based on ethnographic research in the Peruvian Andes and the life history of a daughter of a Shining Path leader, this article explores the ways in which transitional justice discourses get translated into specific national reparation policies embedded in a series of mnemonic wars. These mnemonic wars imply different levels of confrontation, and invisibilization of subjects and citizenships. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Women of influence: Interdisciplinary participatory approaches to understanding female leadership in the Peruvian Amazon(New Area Studies, 2024-08-03)The Mujeres que influyen (Women of Influence) project is a collaboration between researchers at University of East Anglia and PUCP, and young women from the Junín area of Peru who are members of the National Council of Indigenous Women of Peru. It takes its starting point from an acknowledgement that although women play a fundamental role in the preservation of biodiversity and ancestral knowledge, these contributions often go unrecognized and underdeveloped (Ketty Marcelo, 2018), to the detriment of the very culture and environment that should be preserved. Our women-led participatory project, uses film (production, screening, analysis) to highlight the potential and importance for active and organised participation by these young women in their communities in order to protect and nurture their natural resources. Working alongside Asháninka and Yanesha young women, we seek to demonstrate the value of young female involvement in community decision-making, addressing the cultural and societal inequalities that may disrupt their path to leadership and influence. In this paper, we focus on the methods developed in the project, particularly the value of participatory video production as a form of activism, with the outputs serving as creative manifestos in themselves. The co-designed activities have led us to reframe fieldwork as auto-ethnographic digital collaborations that have sought to disrupt power hierarchies and facilitate the co-production of new knowledge. We reflect on how our Indigenous partners have helped us rethink issues of sustainability, resilience and alternative strategies to respond to gender dynamics, political ecologies and environmental challenges.
