Summary
Argentinos, bestias, chaqwa y pishtacos.
The experience of terror, cruelty and death in the collective consciousness
of Andean villagers during the internal conflict in Peru
The problem of internal conflict in Peru is a popular research topic that has been
analyzed from various scientific perspectives by both domestic and foreign re-
searchers for almost four decades. In addition to the dominant historical and po-
litical approaches (mainly focused on structural features of war and its impact
on the current shape of the state and society) as well as the anthropological ones
(primarily devoted to socio-cultural sources and following reveals of the prob-
lem), a significant place is also occupied by the studies of violence, taken up by
various disciplines. Application of this perspective is, however, an exceptionally
complex task, since, as in the lens, it concentrates systems of links between phe-
nomena and actors, whose figures cannot be clearly outlined. It is particularly
evident in relation to forms, scale and perception of terror in the Andes. The ar-
ticle aims at looking for the answer to the question what was going to be the role
of the title “terror, cruelty and death” in the military activities in the Peruvian
province and how they ultimately influenced collective consciousness of Ande-
an villagers and their attitudes in conflict. Therefore, the analysis concerns, first
of all, forms and goals of violence in the Andes and the ways in which serranos
visualized them, and then, reactions of the latter to the war experience of dehu-
manization, death and destruction.
Keywords: internal conflict, terror, death, collective consciousness, indigenous
population, the central-southern Andes, Peru
