La memoria entre cenizas: un diálogo im-pertinente entre Tiempos del incendio de José Roberto Duque y Lo que va dictando el fuego de Juan Antonio Hernández

This writing proposes a reading of Tiempos del incendio (2014), by José Roberto Duque, and Lo que va dictando el fuego (2015), by Juan Antonio Hernández, as a remembrance and update of the events that happened in El Caracazo (1989). This text by Duque and Hernández can be understood as «collective devices of enunciation» (Deleuze, 1978) from a popular memory —both rebel and militant— that doesn’t only oppose to the official version of the events, but also starts again the questioning about the use of violence on behalf of the State as a political weapon during the puntofijista democracy (1958-1998) for the present/future.
