Anthropologica is this wiki's term for either serious works of sexual anthropology or works that are used as a pretext to explore prurient interests, or vice versa (prurient interests disguised as works of anthropology).

Its analogy in early filmmaking are travelogues that showed primitive cultures, noble savages in various states of nudity: at the time, nudity was forbidden, except under the this pretense of showing 'primitive' cultures. See also human zoos and Orientalism.

Falstaff Press was an American publisher of anthropologica. Their books blurred where the scholarly ended and the prurient began. Similar publishers included Panurge Press.

Richard Francis Burton and Margaret Mead also deserve mention here as well as The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia.

There are also strands of anthropology in the oeuvre of Marquis de Sade.
