Jelke Boesten is Professor in Gender and Development in the Department of International Development.

The research “Intimacies of *********,” explored the how soldiers who engaged in and witnessed ******* ********* in war made sense of such *********, and how they build intimate lives post-conflict. The researchers studied these themes through interviews with ex-combatants of the Peruvian military on their experiences during the internal armed conflict from 1980s to 2000s.

” (“Dogs and mates: Memory, ********* and affect among Peruvian veterans in postconflict Peru”) which received an honorable mention of the LASA Iberoamericano Book Award.

Based on analysis of in-depth interviews, the book argues that the army shaped the intimate lives of recruits through ******* socialization, humiliation and *********. Soldiers experienced institutional racism and ******* ******, and were exposed to ideas about military masculinity that helped condition them to ********* dominate the bodies of others.
