DE LA JARA PLAZA, Blas. Peruvian non-cisgender memory. Remnants of rupture and agency. Desde el Sur [online]. 2024, vol.16, n.4, e0056.  Epub 31-Oct-2024. ISSN 2076-2674.  http://dx.doi.org/10.21142/des-1604-2024-0056.

This essay explores agents and spaces of enunciation regarding Peruvian non-cisgender memory. Namely, points of contact where the institutional, societal, and ideological dimensions converge (or collide). Firstly, the piece reviews prominent mnemonic initiatives during the early 21st century. Secondly, the essay reflects opportunities and tensions around non-cisgender memory actors. Finally, it briefly analyzes discourses that depart from contemporary activisms. To address such approaches, existing literature, stakeholders, and their dynamics of alliance were examined. As seen throughout the piece, questions arise regarding how non-cisgender identities relate to traditional ontologies of remembrance and deal with the historical voids of a dissident past. Beyond particular differences, the same continuum of violence estranges individuals from democratic plenitude. Remains thus the question of how to further an opaque legacy in conditions of citizen precariousness.
