Analizo cómo Recuerdos del río volador (2022) de Daniel Ferreira tematiza la petromodernidad en Colombia. Exploro sus lazos con diferentes duelos inconclusos en el marco de la memoria del conflicto colombiano y diferentes tipos de violencia, en diálogo con la CEV, ya que conecta la violencia política de la primera mitad del siglo XX con la violencia sistémica causada por diversos tipos de extractivismo.

Para ello, la interpreto como una contramemoria a partir de las perspectivas de la memoria multidireccional (Rothberg, 2009; Kennedy, 2017) …
