Abstract

The relationship between the logic of capital and acceleration are close today, as the first requires the second to expand. This accelerated capital uses biopolitics as one of the mechanisms to be carried out, which will manage the bodies to adapt to contemporary temporal patterns so as to be destined for the consumption of merchandise. It is possible to observe this mechanism today in what is the business of the next millennium: the management of sex, body and sexuality. In this way, in the pharmacopornographic regime, capital, acceleration, and biopolitics converge to produce new devices that produce subjectivity from flexible, soft, and internal technologies. Biopower's control over bodies is accelerated by intensifying the relationship between technology and body.
