    • Abstract:
      This paper belongs to a dissertation in which, what we have call "nursing worker cyborgizing" in intensive therapy is discussed. In order to carry out this discussion we based our work on cultural theorizing, as well as on Donna Haraway understanding of cyborg. For the corpses analysis manuals and assistance protocols were used. The methodological approach used in this work is the cultural analysis, as it has been used in the Poststructuralist Cultural Studies, in order to describe and analyze the production of images of sick bodies and its decoding process through a complex monitoring system in which sick bodies, machines and nursing practitioners, connect in different ways and effects. We have concluded that it is useful and relevant to consider and discuss these instances of production and diffusion of meanings attributed to the body, life, and the Nursing care.
