Abstract
Within the field of memory studies about political violence in Latin America, this research focus on meanings and reinterpretations of post conflict commemorations in the rural communities of Santa Lucia, in Tucuman, Argentina, and Llinqui, in Apurimac, Peru. The objective is to inquire how rural memories of political violence, which are shaped from social dominance relations with the economic local power, actions of the political-and-military organizations and strategies of the Armed Forces, between the decades of 1940 and 1990, affected the reinterpretations of post conflict commemorations in these rural communities.
The research analyzes socio historical conditions that generated political violence in the rural communities of Santa Lucia and Llinqui, specific configurations of rural memories in these communities and ways of appropriation of symbolic reparation as part of justice demands, in order to comprehend the meanings and reinterpretations of post conflict commemorations, in the specific cases of Santa Lucia’s “Tucuman Mont’s Festival” (2015) and Llinqui’s memorial “Eye that Cries” (2008-2015). The research uses analytic comparative methodology and qualitative techniques.
The results illustrate that rural memories affected the reinterpretation of post conflict commemorations in different ways. While the “Tucuman Mont’s Festival” (2015) enabled a larger discussion of repressive past by making silent and conflictive memories visible in Santa Lucia’s public space, the “Eye that Cries” memorial contributed to reconciliation in Llinqui’s community and visibility of collective demands. Finally, these results can only be explained from the comprehension of the structural problems that still persist in our Latin American societies, and in a cruelly explicit manner, in rural contexts.
