Abstract

The purpose of this article is to establish a scenic reading of the books Diario de
muerte written by Enrique Lihn and Veneno de escorpión azul by Gonzalo Millán.
This implies to move along their poetic settings and scenes, accounting for the extreme situation of writing about death and proposing a dialogue of entering and exiting the problematic and aporetic space of one’s own death, which is understood as a non-place and as an issue or reason for a resistant writing. The vanishing point or evolution of the author towards another form of consciousness is projected from the visualization of the text as scene and stage, and of the subject-author as a character in the trance of death, and thus the disintegrating process of death itself is resisted through literary writing.
