Week 11: The terror

This week on “the terror” covered the internal strife of the region encompassing civil war and political instability. I think a theme that was present in the readings this week was the concept of the truth- and for lack of a better word the overall “sketchiness” that overwhelmed the period. These concepts are especially exemplifiedContinue reading “Week 11: The terror”

Week 11: The Terror

The content covered in this week’s lecture was very heartbreaking to listen and read about, to the point where I felt numb after completing all the material. Through the testimonios, we can begin to grasp what certain aspects of life were like, this is why the main focus of my blog for this week will beContinue reading “Week 11: The Terror”

Week 11: The Terror

This week’s readings all were about a time in Latin America that was so bloody and brutal. I wanted to focus on the one reading titled “A Day in the Trial of the Century” by Carolina Huamán Oyague. Carolina is a family member of one of the victims in the La Cantuta Massacre that happenedContinue reading “Week 11: The Terror”

Week11: The Terror

This week’s material was personally very hard to digest. I am blessed that I’ve never experienced atrocities such as war, genocide, or any kind of life-threatening situation in my lifetime. Imagining the scene of the events written in the text or shown in the videos is horrifying enough, the horror and anxiety the Latin American […]

Week Eleven: The Terror

A concept that Dawson discussed in the reading this week that stuck me was the “voyeuristic quality” of the testimonio, and the way in which third party readers on the outside looking in may assign Manichean dialogues in an attempt to … Continue reading →

Week 11: The Terror of Narrow Perspectives

In the opening paragraphs of Dawson’s ninth chapter, The Terror, a particular sentence struck a cord with me which continued to resonate deeply throughout the rest of the text; “This may allow us to tell stories with definitive heroes and villains, to satisfy our desire for moral clarity. What we risks is gaining that clarityContinue reading “Week 11: The Terror of Narrow Perspectives”

Week 11: The Terror

I want to start this week by sharing a more personal perspective with regards to this week’s reading. I had to take a step back and really think about the timeline of these events. In the 1960’s my parents were born (and my dad was born in Mexico). In the 1970’s, my parents had their …
