Prohibitions once imbued select places in this valley with ominous force. Chapter 6 examines waning traces of those interdictions, taking the river as its topographic focus. For years, crossing the Huallaga could be a charged political act, conjuring images of gruesome death. Those times have chronologically receded. The postwar era becomes evident, as rural traffic increases and transit infrastructures expand. The insurgency’s disappearance can be sensed as well in the absence of prohibitions that weighed upon everyday passage. Revisiting techniques of Huallaga River vaderos, I draw on photos and a video from fieldwork. I do so to explore the potential still and moving pictures have for evoking other sorts of images from the past, which are non-photographic and circulate in stories, memories, and dreams. If pictures distinguish themselves through separations they impart, what might that reveal about ways territory, interdictions and image converge in problems of distance?
