| description | From hermeneutic assessment of the nonhuman turnabout, and materialist ecocriticism, this article studies La mata, a documentary poem by Eliana Hernández, and illustrated by María Isabel Rueda. In this poem, nature can be read as a nonhuman arrangement network capable to predict the paramilitary massacre of El Salado in Colombia, and also as an adjuvant in this story. This reading, in turn, confirms the said agency allows for the poetic-narrative program in question to be accomplished. Similarly, the article reflects on the ways in which Hernández uses earth’s fecundated archetype which stems from the body and blood of the victims, to make the world of the nonhuman a witness of violence, but also a place of memory for the massacred and survivors.

In this poem, nature can be read as a nonhuman arrangement network capable to predict the paramilitary massacre of El Salado in Colombia, and also as an adjuvant in this story. This reading, in turn, confirms the said agency allows for the poetic-narrative program in question to be accomplished. Similarly, the article reflects on the ways in which Hernández uses earth’s fecundated archetype which stems from the body and blood of the victims, to make the world of the nonhuman a witness of violence, but also a place of memory for the massacred and survivors. Este artículo apela a los preceptos hermenéuticos y conceptuales del giro no-humano y, dentro de ese contexto, de la ecocrítica materialista, para mostrar que en La mata (poema documental de Eliana Hernández con ilustraciones de María Isabel Rueda) la naturaleza puede ser leída como una red de agenciamientos no-humanos que, en su interacción con los sujetos humanos, termina perfilándose como un actante de carácter adyuvante capaz de vaticinar la masacre paramilitar de El Salado. A su vez, dicha lectura constata la agencia que tiene dicha red para lograr que el programa poético-narrativo en cuestión pueda cumplirse. Asimismo, el artículo reflexiona sobre los modos en los que Hernández se vale del arquetipo fecundativo de la tierra a partir del cuerpo y la sangre de las víctimas, para así hacer del mundo de lo no-humano un testigo de la violencia, pero también un lugar de memoria para los masacrados y sobrevivientes. Este artigo pretende mostrar que em La mata, poema documentário de Eliana Hernández com ilustrações de María Isabel Rueda, a natureza pode ser lida como uma rede de agenciamentos não humanos que, em sua interação com os sujeitos humanos, acaba se perfilando como um actante adjuvante capaz de prever o massacre paramilitar de El Salado. Isso, apelando aos preceitos hermenêuticos e conceituais da virada não humana e, nesse contexto, da ecocrítica materialista. Essa leitura, por sua vez, confirma a agência que a referida rede tem para garantir que o programa poético-narrativo em questão possa ser cumprido. Da mesma forma, o artigo reflete sobre os modos em que Hernández usa o arquétipo fecundativo da terra a partir do corpo e do sangue das vítimas, a fim de tornar o mundo do não-humano uma testemunha da violência, mas também um lugar de memória para os massacrados e sobreviventes.
