Memorias sobre la guerra interna en el Perú : los jóvenes del Movadef y el colectivo Hijos de Perú
This study analyzes some aspects of the memory of the internal war in Peru of two groups: the youth of the Movement for Amnesty and Fundamental Rights (MOVADEF) and the Hijos de Peru. Between 1980 and 2000, Peru suffered one of the most violent conflicts in its history that pitted the State against the subversive groups Shining Path and the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA). After the conflict and after the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (2001-2003) that investigated its causes and consequences, numerous academic and nongovernmental studies emerged about the memories of different actors, victims, survivors, perpetrators and bystanders. Among the different memory groups, there are also young people who did not necessarily "live" through those years but have a memory about it. How have they formed that memory of events? In the case of young partisans the Movadef, the political wing of the Shining Path, this thesis analyzes the intergenerational transmission of the memory about the armed conflict. In the case of the Hijos de Peru, formed by children of MRTA subversives, we analyze the characteristics of their memories based on their life experience.
