Abstract

RIOS, Marina Cecilia. The Dynamic Writing of Mario Bellatin: from Text to Theater and Theater to Text. La Palabra [online]. 2018, n.32, pp.99-116. ISSN 0121-8530.

Towards the end of XXth century and the beginning of the XXIst in Latin America, narrative texts are produced which respond to the search for a relationship between literature and art (both inside texts and outside them). In this relationship, the body has a fundamental role.

This paper aims at analyzing Mario Bellatin s La escuela del dolor humano de Sechuán [The Szechuan School of Human Suffering] (2005) and Poeta ciego [Blind Poet] (2010) by considering the figure of mise-en-scène. In its displacement into literary writing, this figure is understood as the arrangement of the stage-like space where characters perform cultural, ritual and theatrical actions through a particular narrative voice. Finally, the mise-enscène stages performatic bodies as well as a "third body", using Esposito's term, which remains outside enunciation.

Keywords : Literature; Mise-en-scène; Performatic bodies; Third body; Bellatin.
