Abstract
Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar las relaciones entre la conectividad social, el
crecimiento postraumático y el empoderamiento – entendido como expansión de la
agencia – en el dominio de búsqueda de justicia y verdad tomando en cuenta el caso de
la Asociación Nacional de Familiares de Secuestrados, Detenidos y Desaparecidos del
Perú (ANFASEP). Para lograr dicho fin se llevaron a cabo entrevistas a profundidad a
miembros de la organización, tanto de la primera como de la segunda generación de
asociados. Las entrevistas buscaron que los participantes identifiquen, conceptualicen
y evalúen la justicia y verdad como metas de agencia, analicen las características y
procesos de las relaciones interpersonales en la organización y finalmente identifiquen
cambios experimentados en el tiempo, así como funcionamientos logrados en dicho
dominio. Los resultados revelan cambios significativos en el tiempo respecto a las
conectividades sociales establecidas en la organización, pasando de lo instrumental, en
los primeros años, a lo instrumental y constitutivo en el presente. Así también, se
identificaron cambios relacionados al crecimiento postraumático en donde la
conectividad social cumplió un papel fundamental. Finalmente, se reportan un conjunto
de funcionamientos intermedios y finales logrados en el dominio de justicia y verdad en
donde se revela el importante rol que cumplen las relaciones interpersonales para el
ejercicio de la agencia de las y los participantes y en donde el crecimiento postraumático
funcionaría como un proceso intermedio que permitió mejoras no solo a nivel psicológico,
sino también, a nivel de la consecución de metas de agencia.
The aim of this research is to analyze the relationships between social connectedness, post-traumatic growth and empowerment – understood as an expansion of the agency - in the domain of search for justice and truth, focusing on the case of the National Association of Relatives of the Kidnapped, Detainees and Disappeared from Peru (ANFASEP by its Spanish acronym). To achieve this goal, I conducted in-depth interviews with members of the organization, both from the first and the second generation of associates. The interviews sought participants i) to identify, conceptualize and evaluate justice and truth as agency goals, ii) to analyze the characteristics and processes of interpersonal relationships in the organization and, finally, iii) to identify both changes experienced over time, and functionings achieved in the aforementioned domain. The results reveal significant changes over time related to social connectedness established in the organization, going from being considered mainly as an instrument to being understood both in a constitutive and instrumental way at present. Likewise, I identify changes related to processes of post-traumatic growth in which social connectedness played a fundamental role. Finally, I report a set of intermediate and final functionings achieved in the domain of justice and truth. Based on these results I argue that interpersonal relationships among the associates are important elements for exercising agency and that the post-traumatic processes observed improved not only their psychological wellbeing but also helped them to achieve agency goals.
