Resumen

ORRANTIA, JUAN. "IN THE CURRENT THEY TRAVEL...". Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2010, vol.46, n.1, pp.187-206. ISSN 0486-6525.

In Colombia, the waters of rivers like the Magdalena have become stages for the exposure of terror and loss. However, in this essay I want to propose an alternative approach to water and its relation to violence. Based on the process of fermentation, both as metaphor and material reality, I suggest the possibility of imagining a form of sensual memory brought about by the interaction with waters that contain residues of terror. For this I rely on a series of ethnographic fragments and photographs of daily life in the town of Nueva Venecia, where water impregnated by the residues of a massacre trickles through spaces, instances and stages of the everyday life. These moments open up the possibilities of understanding this relationship with water and its residues as part of a narrative of memory rather than oblivion

Palabras clave : water; terror; narratives; memory.
