In The Black physique in Ecstasy, Jennifer C. Nash rewrites black feminism's concept of illustration. Her research strikes past black feminism's preoccupation with damage and restoration to think about how racial fictions can create an area of corporation or even excitement for black woman matters. Nash's leading edge readings of hardcore pornographic movies from the Seventies and Eighties enhance a brand new approach to examining racialized pornography that makes a speciality of black women's pleasures in blackness: delights in toying with and subverting blackness, moments of racialized pleasure, planned enactments of hyperbolic blackness, and funny performances of blackness that poke enjoyable on the fantastical venture of race. Drawing on feminist and queer idea, serious race idea, and media reports, Nash creates a brand new black feminist interpretative perform, one conscious of the messy contradictions—between satisfaction and pain, among hope and degradation—at the guts of black pleasures.
