Abstract
This essay focuses on the body, object of increasingly differentiated practices, which break it up, fragment it in a continuous process of transformation and redefinition. We have moved on to the image of the body as a problem unit to a progressive isolation of portions of the self: it is the case of surrogacy maternity that redraws the trajectories of Cross Border Reproductive Care, in a logic that follows the generative potential of women’s bodies and that marks a tension between increase, vulnerability, and exploitation.
