Abstract

The following article discusses the subjectivity control of the bodies that underwent the Essure implant, from the multinational giant Bayer, which promised permanent sterilization, without the risks of traditional sterilization surgery. A fast, modern and safe process, with the incorporation of two small springs in the uterine tubes. The analysis in question was made from the premises of the pharmacopornography regime, a by-product of contemporary biopolitics. After implantation, however, the implanted bodies fell ill. Is very. Patients were discarded by medical and legal institutions. But they resist, through the crowd. Connected, the various bodies with springs come together, through virtual social networks, with all their singularities, and produce the common. By the power of the crowd, it is possible to identify achievements in the right to treat the damage caused by Essure and even the production of a political force in the face of pharmacopornography.
