Ileana Diéguez (b. Cuba 1961, lives and works in Mexico for more than two decades), is one of the fundamental references of theatrical and artistic research in Latin America. In her book "Cuerpos sin Duelo" (bodies without duel), Dieguez explains that the experience of pain produced by the violence in Latin America is assumed both by social rites as by art through its representations. The book is an analysis of the acute forms and limits of the representation of pain, grief and mourning, with theoretical foundations in aesthetics, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and the testimony, and closely linked to the experience of the author in Mexico.
