Entre o corpo biopolítico, o sistema farmacopornográfico e o tecnobiopoder

um debate entre Michel Foucault, Paul B. Preciado e Donna Haraway

Abstract

The objective of the article is to investigate the relationships between biopolitics, technobiopower and pharmacopornograpfic system. Based on these three notions presented in the Works of Michel Foucault, Donna Haraway and Paul B. Preciado, respectively, observe the way in wich the bodies goes through these propositions. We start from the hypothesis that these are not notions that exclude each other. There are many differences and the work will make an effort to point them out, recognizing in advance the boldness of bringing different authors into dialogue, but there are also many points of contact and possibilities for discussion. If Foucault formulates a reading about power in which power itself disappears, is invisible, is relational and starts to constitute subjects who also come to be seen through modes and processes of subjectivation, Haraway advances a reading about “automation” of bodies and the proposition of an artefactual biopolitics. In his classic and famous book Texto Junkie, Preçado brings the notion of a pharmacopornographic capitalism but in Dysphoria Mundi he proposes, based on the Petrosexoracial regime, the birth of a necrobiopolitics. The article sought to understand the place of the body in all these power regimes and subjectivation processes.
