Paper long abstract:
To aim of this paper is to contribute to the analysis of the way in which victimhood is constructed (and de-constructed) in post-conflict Peru as a result of the institutionalization of the field of transitional justice since the public presentation of the Final Report of the TRC in 2003. Drawing from extensive fieldwork, it will critical examine the encounters that take place between the victim and the expert, grasping the tensions and contradictions at work in the implementation process of the Integral Reparations Program (PIR). What is needed to become a certified victim and a legitimate beneficiary of reparations in post-conflict Peru?
