THE VOICE OF NO ONE. ON THE THOUGHT OF THE BODY IN RECENT LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE

The article aims to investigate, parting from the reading of some passages of fictions of recent Latin American literature, the emergence of what we call thought of the body. We start from the hypothesis that the texts dialogue with the current state of reflection on the politics of the living, and that they do so through experimentations in which the body is not only an organizing center of the story -sick, rotten, metamorphosed, disindividualized bodies- but also a lens, a perspective. In this way, literature actively intervenes in the horizon of discussions around the contemporary status of the body, and does so by conceiving it not only as a biopolitical battlefield, but also as a creative and transforming tool.
