A Biopolitical Reading of the Government Acts of Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori.
This study aims to establish, through a biopolitical lens, that Peru, during the government of Alberto Fujimori, was under a permanent state of exception; where army barracks were used as concentration camps in which anyone who opposed the regime was held, with a zone of indeterminacy between zoé and bios; as well as the existence of a death squad created within the ranks of the army, whose purpose was the elimination of persons. As references for this study, two sources are used: on the one hand, the ruling of April 7, 2009, issued by the Special Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of Peru, which convicted Alberto Fujimori as an indirect perpetrator of the crimes of murder, grievous bodily harm, and kidnapping; and on the other hand, the lines of thought of Walter Benjamin, Hannah Arendt, Michel Foucault, and Giorgio Agamben.
