As heranças da modernidade e a hipersexuaiização do homem negro: o esvaziamento de si e o corpo como um espaço.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: modernity established skin color as a boundary between subjects considered civilized and Others, classified as primitive. By emptying the black body of itself, hegemonic thinking imposes an animalized perspective on the black male body, reworking it from an existential void. By having the body represented through brutality and violence, the same person who is rejected in different spatialities will be responsible for feeding desires and fetishes crossed by the imaginary of virility. Therefore, this article seeks to understand the black man's body as a space and how it is commodified through a virtual pornographic platform, Xvideos.com, a platform widely accessed during the pandemic, in order to meet desires and fetishes. present in the social imagination. To understand the hypersexualization of the black body in cyberspace, the content analysis methodology will be applied seeking to systematize information about the titles of videos that address black masculinity, virility, strength, potency and violence. As a result, we observed that the number of accesses to the aforementioned platform, in the millions of views, as well as the derogatory references in pornographic videos, confirms a hypersexualized and dehumanized imaginary towards black bodies.
