    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-08-15) Armas Asín, Fernando
    The text develops, within the framework of the construction of tourist activity, how it was organized and the role that the entities involved had, reviewing the literature on the matter. It is concluded that tourism as an economic sector was built from various global and local events that affected demand and supply, highlighting the nature of the business chain formed. This text also addresses and delimits problems that have affected tourist activity in the past and affect it still. The study can help to better understand this economy and social activity today.

    Momentos del Perú en guerra: Testimonio de una vida dedicada a retratar la realidad, pese a sus severas limitaciones
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-08-15) Jiménez, Ernesto
    Talking about internal war in Peru is doubly difficult. Because of the issue of political violence that we had to live with and our role as journalists in tow, away from the passions and standard bearers of the famous objectivity whose meaning hammered us every time we took the camera to record what happened. Then came the self-censorship that took us away from the flags that the participants brought as pretexts for the violence unleashed or to unleash. We were interested in the roots of this violence, its origins and the “why” in each case. Thus, we began to see what others did not see: the significance of our documents for history, for its reconstruction. Reviewing my experience of those years (half a century of journalistic work) I have managed to synthesize some objective, transcendental and valid criteria to contribute to history. My search spanned 14 years of conflict. From 1978 (the beginnings of land grabs) until 1992, when they captured the insurgent leaders of the Shining Path. Of course, there are thousands of unpublished images left in the archives. But the demands of the present testimony force us to choose the best (or the worst) of those moments.

    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-08-15) Bedoya Wilson, Ricardo
    This text offers a panoramic view of some of the representations of the internal armed conflict offered by Peruvian cinema from the end of the 1980s to the present day. By mentioning some emblematic titles, we point out the coincidences and divergences shown in the cinematographic perspectives and treatments of political violence in Peru over the years.

    Los usos de la memoria en contextos de violencia política: Los casos de Cambodia y del Perú
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-08-15) Todorov, Tzvetan
    The human being is distinguished from the other animal species by the consciousness he has of being inscribed over time. He knows that he is mortal, that his life will have an end, he also knows that it had a beginning which links this initial moment to the present moment. This continuity presents itself to his consciousness in the form of a narrative, rewritten throughout his existence. Human communities do not have a clear image of their birth and even less a prefiguration of their death, yet they act in a manner analogous to that of individuals, except that they are content to transmit narratives concerning the common past, shared by an important part of the population. This awareness of the past is what we call, in a very general sense, individual or collective memory. This text deals with these themes and evokes the cases of political violence in Cambodia and Peru.

    Hacia una tierra de memorias, cuentos y tragedias: La imagen del Perú en la prensa anglófona en China (1874-1939)
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-08-15) Lizarme Villcas, Nashely; Palma, Patricia; Carrasco Weston, José Manuel
    The article analyzes the representation of Peru in the English-speaking press in China between 1871 and 1939. During this period, China was interested in learning about Latin America and Peruvian’s economic, political, and social situation, particularly the living and working conditions of Chinese immigrants in Peru. While much of the research regarding the Chinese presence in Peru has focused on how Peruvians perceived Chinese immigrants, this work seeks to contribute to the analysis of the imaginary of Peru in China, particularly in the English-language media regularly published in Shanghai.

    Memorias de los Ashaninka del río Ene durante la guerra interna peruana
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-08-15) Balaguer, Alejandro
    In 1990 I was a young photojournalist and foreign press correspondent in Peru. After having traveled through several war zones in Ayacucho, I ventured into the remote Ene River valley, where a great drama was unfolding. As the army advanced and the Shining Path retreated into the bush, hundreds of Ashaninka were being recovered and were arriving as refugees in the Ashaninka community of Cutivireni after having been kidnapped and taken captive by the armed columns of Shining Pathists. There are thousands of photographs and memories of those terrible days in the community that I want to share.Memories of human beings barricaded to survive; without food, refugees, destitute against disease, with cholera raging, taking rifle fire, avoiding murderous mines, sharing fears and smiles, and death ever-present. Recurring images that keep coming back to me and remain vivid despite the years, in memory and on photographic paper, and which I now try to awaken from oblivion.

    Las milicias de Ayacucho como agentes de reconstrucción y transformación social en la guerra civil del Perú (1980-2000)
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-08-15) Fumerton, Mario A.
    This contribution examines why and how civilian militias, called rondas, self-defense committees (CAD) or anti-subversive civil defense (DECAS), emerged during the civil war in Peru. It seeks to explain how they evolved and interacted with other political and social actors at various levels of society during this war; and how they affected the dynamics of daily life during and after the period of political conflict. Most studies on the subject have emphasized the negative aspect of the militias for the excesses they perpetrated, and little attention has been paid to the decisive role they played in the defeat of the Shining Path, under the supervision of the Armed Forces. This text highlights the role of the militias as agents of social reconstruction and positive transformations in the Andean areas of the country, particularly in Ayacucho.

    El giro humanitario en la búsqueda de los desaparecidos en América Latina: El caso del Perú
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-08-15) Rivas Belloso, Jairo
    In the last fifty years, a significant number of Latin American countries have faced periods of massive violations of the human rights of their respective populations, whether in dictatorial regimes, during internal armed conflicts, or in the fight against organized crime (Mexico). One of the tragic consequences of these contexts is the practice of mass disappearances of people, mainly by state agents, but also by non-state armed actors. The complaints raised by relatives of the disappeared and human rights organizations have had the effect of generating obligations for States related to the determination of the whereabouts of the disappeared. In recent years, this responsibility has led to the creation of governmental entities specialized in the search for the disappeared. Under the influence of humanitarianism, these entities do not seek to prove the crime or identify those responsible, but rather to provide answers to relatives who, for a long time, have not known the final fate of their loved ones. This article, after describing the pending task of searching for the disappeared, describes the recent humanitarian turn this task has taken in Latin America, establishing an initial balance regarding its possibilities and limitations, taking the Peruvian experience as the main reference.

    Violencia y memoria en la narrativa peruana sobre el conflicto armado interno
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-08-15) De Vivanco, Lucero
    From the first years of the armed conflict between the Communist Party of Peru Sendero Luminoso (PCP-SL) and the Peruvian State, literature burst onto the cultural and social scene with the aim of interpreting its immediate situation and thus contributing to the production of meaning to understand that historical experience, both in the representation of violence and in the construction of memory. This essay proposes a global and complex look at this phenomenon, cultural and political at the same time, to identify and map out —from a limited corpus of novels— relevant thematic axes and their respective modes of representation.

    Hechos de violencia extrema y campos totalitarios senderistas entre los Ashaninka y Nomatsiguenga de la selva central del Perú
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-08-15) Villasante Cervello, Mariella
    Studies on the internal war in Peru have ignored the acts of violence: recruitments, rapes, executions, massacres and totalitarian camps. From the anthropology of violence, this article exposes the central points of an ignored topic: the totalitarian Senderista camps in which thousands of Ashaninka and Nomatsiguenga natives were captives. The Shining Path leaders sought the transformation of thousands of natives who had to destroy their social identities to create a “new communist society.” The priority sources are the testimonies collected by the author between 2008 and 2017, and the testimonies collected by the CVR between 2002 and 2003. The analysis takes into account, in particular, the works of Françoise Héritier, Hannah Arendt, and Tzvetan Todorov.
