In this article, I seek to demonstrate how the 1986 massacre of nearly 250 inmates at El Frontón and Lurigancho prisons can shed light on the political and social exclusion faced by Shining Path militants, during and since Peru’s internal armed conflict (1980–2000). I will analyse how Peruvian prisons have been historically used as sites of exclusion for political opponents of the Peruvian state. Then, through an analysis of literary responses to the massacres and the wider conflict, I will demonstrate how cultural producers have sought to recover Shining Path memories of violence, in order to highlight both the persistent socioeconomic conditions that precipitated Shining Path’s insurrection and the continuing impunity for perpetrators of state violence. Finally, I will show that the recuperation of Shining Path memories in literary sources is undermined by the continuing silence of El Frontón in Lima’s memoryscape, and say what this tells us about the limits of acceptable memory discourse in present day Peru.

从记忆中提取:1986 年的监狱大屠杀和秘鲁冲突后可接受的记忆话语的限制

在本文中,我试图展示 1986 年发生在 El Frontón 和 Lurigancho 监狱的近 250 名囚犯大屠杀如何揭示光辉道路激进分子在秘鲁内部武装冲突(1980-2000 年)期间和之后所面临的政治和社会排斥。我将分析秘鲁监狱在历史上如何被用作排斥秘鲁国家政治反对派的场所。然后,通过对大屠杀和更广泛冲突的文学反应的分析,我将展示文化生产者如何寻求恢复光辉道路对暴力的记忆,以突出导致光辉道路叛乱的持续社会经济条件和持续的有罪不罚现象对于国家暴力的肇事者。最后,
