Abstract
This paper explores de/sedimentation as both a textual and geological concept through the works of José Watanabe (La piedra alada) and Soledad Fariña (PAC PAC PEC PEC) to examine how literary and material traces accumulate, erode and reemerge within the colonial Anthropocene. Building on Watanabe's engagement with deep time, and non-extractive ways of temporal relating to stones, as well as Fariña's interrogation of the sedimentary layers of history and discourse, this research considers the fundamental interplay between poetry and geology in Latin American writings. Thus, the notion of palimpsest, thematically and formally understood, serves as a critical lens for tracing the entanglement of human and more-than-human histories and voices in times of extinction.
