| Sumario: | In 2018, the Pescadero bridge, next to the Cauca river canyon (Colombia), was flooded. This territory is part of the sedimentation of layers of colonial violence, which, in successive historical-political waves, at the rate of fluctuating development cycles, has been invading pre-existing territorialities, destroying landscapes and creating ruins of "progress". Also, in this territory, the hydrocommunal web has been reweaving despite everything, making life re-sprout and looking for new channels. In this framework, this writing offers an analysis of the expropriation logics in the era of the Capitalocene, with the imposition of works, in front of which the riverside hydrocommunities and their memories are forced to re-exist.To do this, first, we will make a contextualization of the Cauca river canyon before the short modern life of the Pescadero bridge, built in 1963. Then, we will reconstruct the events of the '70s that, together with the energy demand, detonated this last wave of dispossession, concocted in the' 90s under the roar of political-paramilitary violence, and perpetrated in the last two decades with the imposition of the Hidroituango hydroelectric plant. The analysis seeks to account for the sociometabolic disorders caused by this work. Finally, we will share the inner horizons of the Rios Vivos Movement, as a pedagogical-political warp bent on recreating the sympoietic force of landscapes of conviviality. |
