The CLACLS Travel Fellowship allowed me to cover transportation to and from Asuncion, Paraguay to carry out data recollection and exploratory research during the summer months of 2019. I could retrieve databases related to demographic indicators, census databases, and of carceral population. I additionally carried out exploratory archival research at the Paraguayan Supreme Court’s Human Rights Museum and Documentation Center, informally known as the “Archivos del Terror”. All sources that I could access are public and private collections that are either not available or only partially available online. My research looks at the dynamics and consequences of transitional politics in the Southern Cone. I seeks to understand processes of authoritarian governmentality in post-dictatorship settings, violence against minorities, and political resistance in Latin America. I am specifically interested in studying how the processes of transition evolved in terms of repression against minorities, evolution of rights, citizenship, and inequality. Using Paraguay as a case study allows to understand disruptions and continuities of dictatorships in Latin America. As a country that significantly preceded other military regimes of the region, its history is relevant but surprisingly little known in the scholarship of transitional regimes and their consequences.
