Abstract

The Peruvian Amazon has been imagined as a pantry, disintegrated from national history, and used, solely, for extractive purposes. In this line, its inhabitants have been obliterated; nevertheless, there is a corpus of young Amazonian indigenous poets who complexify the Amazonian indigenous presence in the national history and do it in poems that they make known in traditional media such as literary magazines and books. This article analyzes the mention and development of political categories such as citizenship, people and homeland in the poetics of two young Peruvian Amazonian indigenous poets: Bikut Sanchium and Tony Ramirez Nunta, called Inin Rono in the Shipibo-Konibo language. The objective is to show the ways in which an Amazonian citizen is constructed from the awareness of belonging and the denunciation of different types of violence within the poetic sphere. This analysis is an ethical and academic proposal that hopes to contribute to a better understanding of Amazonian productions and subjectivities usually underestimated in Peruvian and Latin American literature, in order to show their complex forms of resilience through their writing.
