    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.

    No data to crawl? Monolingual corpus creation from PDF files of truly low-resource languages in Peru
    (European Language Resources Association (ELRA), 2020)
    We introduce new monolingual corpora for four indigenous and endangered languages from Peru: Shipibo-konibo, Ashaninka, Yanesha and Yine. Given the total absence of these languages in the web, the extraction and processing of texts from PDF files is relevant in a truly low-resource language scenario. Our procedure for monolingual corpus creation considers language-specific and language-agnostic steps, and focuses on educational PDF files with multilingual sentences, noisy pages and low-structured content. Through an evaluation based on language modelling and character-level perplexity on a subset of manually extracted sentences, we determine that our method allows the creation of clean corpora for the four languages, a key resource for natural language processing tasks nowadays.
