Welcome back!
. . . academy, watch out who you shake hands with.
Who knew that the porn studies field would be so couched in niceties that there wouldn’t be a single concise description of the state of interracial porn? There are plenty of screeds in the anti-porn, MacKinnon-esque camp to latch onto. But, in the world of people taking a rhetorical or cultural studies approach I found very little in terms of hard-hitting soundbites. So, who summed things up best, in my estimation?
None other than Sam the Man over at SugarBank in his post “Porn and Prejudice.” He says in a bulleted list what it takes the academics three chapters to write.
So, why am I linking to a 5-month-old entry in a blog you all read anyway? Because this week I cited it in a paper I wrote for a graduate seminar in Postcolonial theory. Sammy, step right up and receive your accolades with Judy, Michel, Gayatri, Frantz, and Homi.
The title of my paper? “Black Dicks in White Chicks:
fantasies of miscegenation, black power, and the colonization of
interracial desire”


If you've wondered what it would be like to get me on the phone, no need to wonder anymore!

For what it’s worth, I’m reading a nice book called “Revealing Male Bodies” from Indiana University Press. (ISBN 0-253-21481-5 for the paperback version) It’s a collection of work by grad students mostly from the University of Oregon. Quite a few of the papers deal with male and racial stereotypes.
Take care,

I actually think I have that book checked out to my study carrel. I have been doing some masculinity studies research lately. I agree that there is plenty of scholarly literature on race and gender. However, the porn studies field is so marginal right now that there just isn’t much good stuff to work with. Thanks for the tip. – ellie

Hi Lumpesse.
I am enjoying having a look-see at your blog: literate, intelligent, erotic.
I’ve started a blog that I hope will be quite literary, and quite erotic; at the moment, though, it sounds a bit corny. But give it time.
Is it at all possible to get a copy of your paper you mention here. If you care to check out my blog and am patient with it, the story soon will swing towards some pretty intense interracial hardcore stuff.
Thanks for the compliments Erasmus, watch out or I’ll become even more of an egomaniac. Drop me an email about the paper and I’ll see what I can do for you. – ellie
Take care.
