"Keiko's Depression and the "Senderista Mausoleum: On Loss, Vulnerability, and Public Discourse in Peru

Yuyanapaq no entra: Ritual dimensions of post-transitional justice in Peru
The anthropology of transitional justice has emphasized the ritual aspects of truth commissions but offered less analysis of the conventions through which narratives produced by such institutions come to be viewed over time. A controversy in Peru that centred on a new national museum's possible incorporation of a photo exhibit (Yuyanapaq) created by the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission (2001-3) provides an opportunity to explore this …

The study focuses on cultural artefacts the scientist acquired, beginning with these materials…

I examine ways in which the museum's representations of recent political violence embrace and contest "official" historical narratives, how visitors engage with and react to the museum, and perspectives on the institution among residents of Ayacucho. I conclude by assessin…
