- Title
From Dignified Burial to 'Terrorist Mausoleum': Exhumations, Moral Panic and Mourning Policies in Peru.
- Authors
Robin Azevedo, Valérie
- Abstract
In this article, we examine mourning policies with respect to exhumations of mass graves from the Peruvian armed conflict. By reflecting on a case in which the exhumed dead, and their relatives, do not conform to the model of legitimate victims, we explore the limits of reparation policies and their effect on reconciliation. We investigate how the 'terrorist mausoleum' led to a significant episode of 'moral panic'. We then analyse the normative perspective on mourning, as implemented in the public sphere, and how mourning, citizenship and nation are related when burying unwelcome dead associated with the figure of the 'terrorist'.
