Making Mandingo: Racial Archetypes, Pornography, and Black Male Subjectivity
Making Mandingo: Racial Archetypes, Pornography, and Black Male Subjectivity By Phillip Samuels © 2019 M.A., University of Kansas, 2007 B.A., Emporia State University, 2004 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Communication Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Dr. Dorothy Pennington Dr. Scott Harris Dr. Beth Innocenti Dr. Jeffery Jarman Dr. Randal Maurice Jelks _____________________________ Dr. Robert McDonald Date Defended: 6 December 2019 ii Acceptance Page Making Mandingo: Racial Archetypes, Pornography, and Black Male Subjectivity The dissertation committee for Phillip Samuels certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Chair: Dr. Dorthy Pennington Date Approved: iii Abstract Mandingo is a reference to a longstanding myth in American culture, that black men have an unquenchable desire for white woman. I will argue that Mandingo is an example of a racial archetype. Racial archetypes are specific images of a long-standing stereotypes. Mandingo is one such archetype. Mandingo conjures up an entire history of the rhetoric of miscegenation. For some it is the excitement of the big black cock (BBC) and crossing the color line, but for most blacks it invokes images of lynching, slavery, and police brutality brought on by the fear of black men while at the same time trafficking in a prurient landscape of American racial and sexual relations. Whether through words, pictures or movies, the Mandingo has become a dominant archetype in the pantheon of the African American experience. Charting the Mandingo emergence and articulation is critical project to discern how these rhetorical markers are part of a larger mythic narrative. -
LIVE VIRGIN by Ira Israel & Jean-Pierre Marois © 1995, Ira Israel FADE IN
LIVE VIRGIN by Ira Israel & Jean-Pierre Marois © 1995, Ira Israel FADE IN EXT. POOLSIDE/RONNY’S HOUSE - DAY CLOSE ON a young woman’s face, GLORIA. She’s lying on a lawn chair, moaning, with her eyes closed. Her face writhes passionately and moves up and down in the frame: she appears to be in the midst of having intercourse. We slowly PULL OUT to discover her beautiful breasts covered by a bikini top, then her stomach, then her hips. We finally understand that she is not having sex: in fact, two hands sheathed in construction workers’ gloves, grip her by the waist and shake her as if she were a bottle of fruit juice. By now we can see an overweight man, BILL, leaning over her, performing this action. He’s wearing a baseball cap, big baggy jeans, a large utility belt with a hammer, tapes, a walkie-talkie and all the typical accessories of a movie grip. RONNY (O.S) (calm, rather bored) That’s it, honey, keep going. Remember, I gotta see on your face how much you like it. Still pulling out we now see a CAMERAMAN standing above GLORIA filming a close up of her. RONNY (O.S) (continuing) Now, Gloria, the moment of truth. Gimme all you got. GLORIA heats up. Now we see RONNY (50), tall, handsome, tanned and well groomed, wearing a white bathrobe and slippers. He is sitting in a director’s chair by a TV monitor, on which we see the same CU on GLORIA as the opening shot of the scene. -

Second Reader Date THE NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT BY ANGELA SLOAN Longwood University Spring 2012 Angela Sloan. THE NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT. (Under the direction of Mary Carroll Hackett) Department of English and Modern Languages, April 2012. The purpose of this thesis is to observe hidden female lives. It is my intention, within these fifteenworks of short fiction, to examine the nature of those who seek power and protection through the artifice that is physical beauty, youth, and glamour, specifically through the wearing of makeup and glamorous clothing. Many of the women within these stories are also consumed with material wealth; they use that artificeas a shield fromthe reality of the enviro1m1ent in which they live, whether it is urban or rural. Sometimes they never even realize to what degree artificialityimpacts their daily lives. In "Silk Powder," Jerry eats the cosmetic powder belonging to her lover, Margo. In "A Clown A Day," Pauline finds sexual satisfaction and compatibility with a man dressed as a clown. The Night Entertainment is a collection about people generally regarded as misfits. 1 write primarily female characters, many of whom are lesbian or bisexual. -
