A rather "interesting" article completely dedicated to exploring the "black anus". More specifically the anus of a black woman. “Black Anality” considers the racial meanings produced in pornographic texts that insistently return to the black female anus as a critical site of pleasure, peril, and curiosity. |
Yes this is an actual peer reviewed paper that actually been published in a scientific journal. As far as academic literature goes, this is one of the stranger offerings.
"Black Anality" offers an in depth look at Black Sexuality centered around the Anus. This unconventional topic is presented in such an overly professional and academic manner that its almost ironic. It all feels even more ridiculous when one imagines how serious the author while penning this and even more so, whoever had to keep a straight face while reviewing it for publication.
All in all its an interesting article to skim (or at least read the abstract) if only to get a humourus insight into a bizzare side of adacemic literature. Not all work in academia has profound impacts on the world and Its hard to measure exactly how much this paper will contribute to science and society. As the cliche goes: one man's trash is another's treasure. And with the current state of academia balancing harry potter degrees with the "publish or die" mentality we can probably expect to see more odd works like this cropping up in the future, as academics of niche fields try to stay relevant and get a share of the funding.

The full article on Black Anality can be found here and on pdf here And here's an interesting video where they go through the entire paper in detail."I use the anus as a window" - Not a phrase I ever thought would be found in a peer reviewed academic paper but it is the current year after all. Join the Bun and myself as we talk about the intricacies of anal sex with black women from a black feminist queer perspective in this "academic" paper. | |
