The exploration of fetishes necessitates a nuanced understanding of human psychology, cultural influences, and individual experiences. While the concept of fetishes may evoke curiosity or even discomfort for some, this book aims to approach the topic with sensitivity, respect, and a commitment to fostering understanding.

Book Synopsis The Problem of the Fetish by : William Pietz
Download or read book The Problem of the Fetish written by William Pietz and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-11-18 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking account of the origins and history of the idea of fetishism. In recent decades, William Pietz’s innovative history of the idea of the fetish has become a cult classic. Gathered here, for the first time, is his complete series of essays on fetishism, supplemented by three texts on Marx, blood sacrifice, and the money value of human life. Tracing the idea of the fetish from its origins in the Portuguese colonization of West Africa to its place in Enlightenment thought and beyond, Pietz reveals the violent emergence of a foundational concept for modern theories of value, belief, desire, and difference. This book cements Pietz’s legacy of engaging questions about material culture, object agency, merchant capitalism, and spiritual power, and introduces a powerful theorist to a new generation of thinkers.
Book Synopsis The Fetish Revisited by : J. Lorand Matory
Download or read book The Fetish Revisited written by J. Lorand Matory and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early-modern encounter between African and European merchants on the Guinea Coast, European social critics have invoked African gods as metaphors for misplaced value and agency, using the term “fetishism” chiefly to assert the irrationality of their fellow Europeans. Yet, as J. Lorand Matory demonstrates in The Fetish Revisited, Afro-Atlantic gods have a materially embodied social logic of their own, which is no less rational than the social theories of Marx and Freud. Drawing on thirty-six years of fieldwork in Africa, Europe, and the Americas, Matory casts an Afro-Atlantic eye on European theory to show how Marx’s and Freud’s conceptions of the fetish both illuminate and misrepresent Africa’s human-made gods. Through this analysis, the priests, practices, and spirited things of four major Afro-Atlantic religions simultaneously call attention to the culture-specific, materially conditioned, physically embodied, and indeed fetishistic nature of Marx’s and Freud’s theories themselves. Challenging long-held assumptions about the nature of gods and theories, Matory offers a novel perspective on the social roots of these tandem African and European understandings of collective action, while illuminating the relationship of European social theory to the racism suffered by Africans and assimilated Jews alike.
Download or read book Fetish Style written by Frenchy Lunning and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-06-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fetish Style traces the history, forms and tendencies of sub-cultural fashions that are popular in both mainstream and alternative fashion cultures. Presenting the world of subcultural fetish clothing design in all of its richness and beauty, this book explores the idea of fetish as subversive and repressive as reflected in clothing choices in people of all ages and cultures. Linking the fetishistic aspects of contemporary culture with everyday clothing as dictated by fashion and merchandizing, Fetish Style presents a fascinating study of historical as well as 21st century subcultures. Case studies include the Japanese-influenced 'tribes' of the various Lolita formations, the Shotaru (male Lolita), the club scene, the Goths, the hip-hop fashions and other locally-formed fetishized practices. Fetish Style will be key reading for anyone interested in fetish fashion both past and present.
Book Synopsis The Fetish of Theology by : Colby Dickinson
Download or read book The Fetish of Theology written by Colby Dickinson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-26 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By delving into the history of the fetish-object among both modern and contemporary commentators, this book highlights the fetish-object’s role as a philosophical and religious concept of the highest significance. Historically, fetishes are implicated in specific struggles for sovereign (political) and/or religious (hierarchical) power, with their interwoven symbols defined as the primary location for transcendence in our world. This book defines the political consequences of fetish-objects within a western cultural, and primarily theological context through a comparative approach of various literatures on fetish-objects—anthropological to the psychological, Marxist to the theological. It reconceives of fetishes as a form of resistance to oppressive structures, something which motivated Christians themselves historically, and shaped our western understanding of the sacraments far more than has been acknowledged. Taking up this conversation likewise holds forth the possibility of reconceptualizing how fetish-objects and sacramental presences both speak profoundly to our late-modern selves.

Book Synopsis Domination, fetish and dark healing by : Kattana Black
Download or read book Domination, fetish and dark healing written by Kattana Black and published by Letras. This book was released on with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kattana Black is a project designed to give everyone a path to personal freedom and to help all those who cannot find their place to find the right one. The basic idea of the project is that all people are unique and can become magnificent if they find their own talent and expose it in a suitable environment. No one and nothing is ordinary. Everyone and everything has the right to become extraordinary. Octavia Ecaterina Berinde and Nektarios Manoukarakis are the creators of this project. Two people who have combined their individual qualities and decided to use them to help others find themselves. Claudiu Raduica is the image creator of this project, a talented young artist, who knows that talent comes from passion, and passion comes from within everyone, and he dares to show all this in his work. All those whose task is to guide consciences are afraid! They fear that their influence on souls, who need to perceive the sensation of existence, will be understood clearly, and that their mask of wisdom will be shattered… It is reassuring to say we know and know, to impose this, but our words are often real daggers, ready to slice into the flesh in order to create heroes and truths. (Daniel Meurois)
