Abstract
En este artículo se analizan algunas de las consecuencias derivadas del proceso de institucionalización del campo de la justicia transicional en el contexto peruano, atendiendo especialmente a aquellas que afectan las formas de movilización sociopolítica de las diferentes modalidades de victimización en torno a los cuales se constituye esta industria sociolegal. Se explorará cómo la figura de la víctima se incorpora al espacio público peruano mediante la aplicación de una serie de leyes que van definiendo nuevos espacios de representación, a la vez que construyendo —y deconstruyendo— nuevos sujetos colectivos (las “victimas”) y subjetividades políticas.
This article critically examines the processes by which transitional justice mechanisms have been institutionalized in Peru, with a specific focus on the ways this socio-legal industry mobilizes and legitimates particular modalities of victimhood —while simultaneously disappearing and delegitimizing others—. The article considers the ways in which newly enacted laws redefine the social and political space within which the concept of victimhood assumes meaning and significance thereby constructing and deconstructing different collective subjects (the “victims”) as well as new political subjectivities.
