Corazones virales. Del dolor a la alegría como política postviolencia en el Perú
Main Article Content
Abstract
En Perú, los estudios sobre la memoria luego del conflicto armado interno (1980-2000) se han enfocado sobre todo en 1) el dolor de la víctima y 2) el análisis de su discurso. El sociólogo argentino Roberto Jacoby propone las “estrategias de la alegría” como formas alternativas de re-cordar y actuar creativamente en contextos de posviolencia. En este artículo se describen y analizan dos espacios donde estas estrategias generan formas de hacer frente a un pasado de violencia. En primer lugar, la fiesta andina del ayla, descrita en un relato de José María Arguedas, se configura como una forma de organización que empodera a la comunidad convirtiéndola en un corazón (sonqo) capaz de reencontrarse con su doloroso pasado. En segundo lugar, el concierto de rock como praxis estética colectiva de la banda argentina Virus propone “salir del agujero interior” del pasado de violencia para promover “superficies de placer” como formas de empoderamiento juvenil.

Abstract: In Peru, memory studies after the internal armed conflict (1980-2000) have focused mainly on 1) the pain of the victim and 2) the analysis of their discourse. The Argentinean socio-logist Roberto Jacoby proposes “strategies of joy” as alternative ways of remembering and acting creatively in contexts of post-violence. The article describes and analyzes two spaces where these strategies generate ways of dealing with a violent past. First, the ayla, Andean festival described in a story by José María Arguedas, is represented as a form of organization that empowers the community by turning it into a heart (sonqo) able to meet with its painful past. Second, the rock concert as a collective aesthetic praxis of the Argentinian band Virus proposes “to leave the inner hole” of the past of violence to promote “surfaces of pleasure” as forms of youth empowerment.
