Summary/Abstract: Starting from Beatriz Preciado’s claim in her 2013 book Testo Junkie that all current conceptions of labour (immaterial, cognitive, linguistic, even biopolitical) treat the human body as desexualised, and her proposition that the paradigmatic model of labour today is “pharmacopornopolitical”, I would propose to examine the contemporary practice using the example of a Serbian female artist named Mimi Mercedez – a stripper and trap singer.
