The black body in ecstasy
Based on a reading of hardcore pornographic films from the 1970s and 1980s the author develops a method of analyzing racialized pornography that focuses on black women's pleasures in blackness: delights in toying with and subverting blackness, moments of racialized excitement, deliberate enactments of hyperbolic blackness, and humorous performances of blackness. The author considers how racial fictions can create a space of agency and pleasure for black female subjects.
