-espaço-tempo-vestimenta para repensar gênero e tecnologia
Podemos perceber o corpo com produto, pelo menos, em duas direções. Numa primeira, o corpo-objeto sobre o qual intervem diversas tecnologias, a exemplo do batom, pílula, camisinha e silicone. Numa segunda, o corpo-mercadoria que pode ser comercializado em seus diversos efluxos, dentre eles, o sexo, o gozo e o tempo.

Inclui este trecho sobre turismo sexual
"3.3.3. Sex tourism Sex tourism is tourism, partially or fully for the purpose of having sex. A sex tourist is usually defined as an adult who travels in order to have legal consensual sexual relations with another adult, often for the exchange of money or presents.
Often the term "sex tourism" is wrongly interchanged with the term "child sex tourism". A tourist who is having sex with a child is almost always committing a criminal offence in the host country, and possibly the country that the tourist is a citizen of. In contrast, legal-age prostitution is legal in many countries, including Brazil.
The exploitation and harassment of women as a result of sex tourism further exacerbates gender inequality in the industry. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), sex tourism negatively affects women's physical health in many ways, including:
* Increased risk of HIV/AIDS
* Risk of sexually transmitted infections
* Risk of unwanted pregnancy
* Rape
* Physical abuse
* Confinement
Furthermore, sex tourism encourages men to view and treat women as objects. Thus, not only are the prostitutes themselves harmed, but all women are affected by sex tourism. Such degrading and exploitative treatment can lead to mental health problems such as depression, resignation, and substance abuse.
Juan Miguel Petit, United Nations' special envoy on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography, believes that tourism providers and government agencies have a role in the propagation of sex tourism because of the stereotypes they use to sell vacation packages. In a January 2004 report, Petit explained, "The touristic image of Brazil is all
too often associated with stereotypical representations of young women, mainly Afro-Brazilians, portrayed half-naked in tourist catalogues to convey the message that exotic sexual adventures can easily be available to tourists during their stay in the country".
For decades the stated-owned Brazilian Institute for Tourism (Embratur) promoted Brazil as a utopian destination for tourism by displaying images of young women in two-piece bathing suits in brochures and film material. Embratur used insinuating slogans such as
"Woman: the greatest attraction" ("Mulher: a maior atração"), accompanied by photos of women on beaches to attract foreign tourists. According to researcher Louise Prado Alfonso, the dissemination of this sort of campaigns has contributed to the increase of sex
tourism in Brazil. A few years ago, Embratur decided to change its policies and marketing campaigns. Currently, it advises tourism promotion boards and travel agencies
not to use images of women in bikinis. Instead of seductive women, these organisations are recommended to promote Brazil's abundant flora and fauna and its cultural attractions."
