Guanajuato, Gto., November 5, 2015.- In the multimedia room from the Arts building from Campus Guanajuato, before a plural audience of students from different disciplines, academics and public; Dr. Marcela Quiroz Luna commented the content and motivation for her book "La escritura, el cuerpo y su desaparición" (Writing, body and its disappearance) edited by the National Council for Culture and Arts (CONACULTA for its acronym in Spanish).

What is the relationship between pain and thought, between pain and writing? Can you think under pain, or inverse, is it possible to think without pain? Is thought always a wound? Is it possible and valid to imply the sensitive subject in the academic speech? These and others questions led the book presentation of this sui generis work, whose culmination took five years.

Dr. Quiroz, who from her own pain, because a spine disease, constructed a deep research towards the work of two authors "Diarios de agua" from the post-conceptual Chinese artist Song Dong, and "Nom á la mer", a poem-documentary from the Egyptian-French poetess and filmmaker Safaa Fathy. These works allowed Marcela Quiroz Luna to theme this territory regarding the relationship between word and body, theory and experience, art and suffering.

The presenters and commentators for the book were M. Adriana Aguilera Arrieta, outstanding academic from the Master degree of Arts at the University of Guanajuato and Dr. Benjamin Mayer, psychoanalyst and funding director of 17, Institute of Critical Studies.

For Dr. Benjamin Mayer, Marcela Quiroz's book is significant not only for its analysis but for its methodology and bets the subject to the center of the university and academic thinking. "Marcela, bravely showed that you can develop a rigorous argument and keep the subjective universe", said the doctor.
