    Abstract : The portrayed, stereotypical sexuality of the Black man in pornography is nothing short of extraordinary when it comes to stamina, skill and performance.

This thesis aims to examine, through a quantitative approach, if and how the tendency towards conforming to the stereotype of the “Big Black Cock”, makes an impact on the sex life of the participant and if it also brings about a perception of a societal expectation of being attracted to White women.

  4. 9. “It’s like my blood, like my oxygen” : Life in a Kimbanguist community in Stockholm

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för kultur och samhälle

    Author : Marco Tenti; [2023]

    Abstract : The aim of this work is to discuss the religious life of the Kimbanguist community in Stockholm; more specifically, it analyses the ways in which religion (in particular Kimbanguism) allows the members of a small religious community, originated by migration, to maintain sense of belonging and to give meaning to their experiences. In order to do this, I focus on the concept of community to define the ways in which a group of people, embedded in a much wider social field, can be defined with this analytical term: community emerges as a social group whose members share a specific inventory of symbols; symbols include representations and narratives, but also practices, artifacts and images.
