| Summary: | 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-en-scène stages performatic bodies as well as a “third body”, using
Esposito ́s term, which remains outside enunciation
