Carlos Iván Degregori, « Discurso y violencia política en Sendero Luminoso », Bulletin de l'Institut français d'études andines, ID : 10670/1.kv7il2
"Until 1977, Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso) was one of the numerous Peruvian extreme left-wing groups proclaiming for the armed struggle in order to seize power. This paper analyzes the importance of elaborating a discourse, the emergence of a ?cosmocratic figure? and the elaboration of a ?community discourse? around the armed group to explain the transformation experienced by Shining Path as a marginal group coming from the provinces which, thanks to the accumulation of a ?symbolical capital?, became a ?war machine?. Shining Path had a significant influence on the Peruvian political life in the 80?s and 90?s, even after the capture of its main leader (1992) and its subsequent collapse."
