Archives, Museums and Sacred Storage: Dealing with the Afterlife of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada
∞ The Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) acquired over 1,200 material submissions through the gifts it received at its events. Though other TRCs mention objects in their records, the gift-giving practice that became central to TRC events in Canada was unprecedented, and so is its large collection of TRC-gifted objects today. The Canadian TRC is thus unique and faces the challenges of categorizing, preserving, displaying and honour…
Desfigurando la memoria: (Des)atando Los Nudos De La Memoria Peruana
Este artículo analiza las corrientes opositoras a la memoria colectiva de la sangrienta guerra interna del Perú (1980-2000) a través de un análisis de los actos de vandalismo perpetrados contra uno de los pocos sitios dedicados a la memoria en este país, El ojo que llora, ubicado en Lima. 'Vandalismo', en este artículo, es entendido como una forma de escritura (aunque violenta) de una visión distinta del pasado. Originalmente concebido como un es…
Curating memories of armed state actors in Peru’s era of transitional justice
Ten years have passed since the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission (Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación) published their findings on the conflict that claimed over 69,000 lives from 1980 to 2000. While the Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación placed primary responsibility for deaths and disappearances (54%) on the insurrectionary group Shining Path ( Sendero Luminoso), it also named armed state actors as having systematically commi…

Defacing memory: (Un)tying Peru’s memory knots
This article parses opposing currents in Peru’s collective memory of their bloody internal war (1980—2000) through an analysis of acts of vandalism perpetrated against one of the country’s few sites of memory, the Ojo que llora, in Lima. ‘Vandalism’ in this article is understood as a form of writing (though a violent one) of an alternative vision of the past. Originally intended as a space for remembering and paying homage to the victims of the a…
Raising an Empire: Children in Early Modern Iberia and Colonial Latin America
Youth is coming of age in Latin American history, or so it seems with recent studies on children and childhood. González and Premo’s edited volume contributes to the field by studying children as an extension of empire in the early modern Iberian world. The editors set out to present various alternatives for the study of childhood in the Iberian world. The first alternative is to unhitch the history of childhood from the history of modernity, a c…
Public spaces for the discussion of Peru’s recent past
In the aftermath of civil conflict and a truth commission into twenty years of violence (1980-2000), Peru is presently engaged in the difficult task of establishing overarching narratives that provide frameworks for organizing personal and collective memories in the few public spaces available for the discussion of this recent past. This article looks at two public spaces, a series of performative events in Ayacucho during the submission of the t…

Excluir para ser: Procesos identitarios y fronteras sociales en la América hispánica (XVII-XVIII)
Excluir para ser is a slim book that ponders what it means to be “elite” in colonial Spanish America. Far from reaching a unified definition, the editors and contributors present several case studies of principal and secondary elites, illustrating their ethnic, economic, social, and political networks. In their introduction, Christian Büschges and Frédérique Langue express their desire to consider elites as not a single entity or the reflection o…
Poverty and the Politics of Colonialism: "Poor Spaniards," Their Petitions, and the Erosion of Privilege in Late Colonial Quito
In the first weeks of May 1785, several friends and long-term acquaintances came before the royal courts of Quito to testify on behalf of Don Josef Quiñones y Cienfuegos.1 They described in rich detail the wealth Quiñones once enjoyed: several businesses, homes, haciendas, mines near Barbacoas, slaves to work them and to serve his large family, and a gold-trimmed cloak. However, after many years of litigation over his enterprises, and afflicted w…
