The pharmacopornographic

 
Preciado 33: "Our world economy is dependent on the production and circulation of hundreds of tons of synthetic steroids and technically tranformed organs, fluids, cells [...] on the global diffusion of a flood of pronographic images, on the elaboration and distribution of new varieties of legal and illegal synthetic psychotropic drugs (e.g. bromazepam, Special K, Viagra, speed, crystal, Prozac, ecstasy, poppers, heroin), on the flood of signs and circuits of the digital transmission of information, on the extension of a form of diffuse urban architecture to the entire planet in which megacities of misery are knotted into high concentrations of sex-capital."
 
"a postindustrial, global, and mediatic regime that, from here on, I will call pharmacopornographic"
