Abstract:
The literature on the etiological theories, clinical manifestations and treatment of retifism (foot fetishism) and fetishisms in general are briefly reviewed. The case of a 27 year old married male foot-fetishist is presented with emphasis on the psychosexual development leading to the specific sexual deviation. The specific behavioural treatment consisted of covert aversive conditioning using self-reports of sexual urges and psychophysiological monitoring as objective measures of therapeutic change. The theoretical basis for the therapeutic response is discussed.

Abstract:
Organizations can encourage their members to over-value means above ends. A case in point is the tendency among academics to over-value standardized ranking lists for academic journals at the expense of high quality research. To make sense of such seemingly perverse object choices, organizational researchers have turned to the concept of fetishism. However, organizational researchers have yet to consider how these fetishes are organized as sexual object choices—a strange omission given the expansive empirical and theoretical literature exploring fetishism as a sexual practice.

Abstract:
This essay examines the role of Rétif's writings in the development of the concept of erotic fetishism and in the formation of the French literary canon in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Rétif explored foot and shoe fetishisms more than a century before the phenomena were medically recognized, anticipating the modern psychosexual use of the term fetishism and making important contributions to the invention of the theoretical concept. Rétif's works were accorded a privileged place in early pathologies of fetishism, which provoked a series of polemics among German and French

The attitudes of the Brigstocks, Fleda Vetch, and Mrs. Gereth toward the "spoils" manifest different forms of fetishism thath can be interpreted in both Marxian and Freudian terms, as well as in terms of Pierre Bourdieu's more recent theory of "political fetishishm." One of the implications of the struggle for possession of the "spoils" is that value and meaning do not somehow passively and obj

Purpose Fetishism has been often linked to misrecognition and false belief, to one being “ideologically duped” so to speak. But could we think that fetishism may be precisely the very opposite? The purpose of this paper is to explore the potential of this at first sight counterintuitive notion. It locates the problem of fetishism at the crux of the problem of disavowal and argues that one needs to distinguish between a disavowal – marked by cynical knowledge – and fetishistic disavowal, which can be understood as a subcategory of the same belief structure of ideology.

Abstract:
According to Jean Baudrillard, in a totally functional world people become irrational and subjective, given to projecting their fantasies of power into the efficiency of the system, a state of ‘spectacular alienation’. I argue that Americans as a society have accommodated themselves to such a system to the detriment of their ability to make sense in their public discourse. Baudrillard finds pathology in the system of objects as it determines social relations. In one symptom, people may obsess over a fetish object. For American society, the magical mechanical object is the gun. I show evidence

This study contends that postmodern American fiction dramatizes an important shift of philosophical perspective on the fetish in keeping with recent theories of fetishism as a cultural practice. This shift is defined by the refusal to accept the traditional Western condemnation of the fetishist as primitive or perverse, and by the effort to affirm more productive uses for fetishism as a theoretical concept spanning the disciplines of psychoanalysis, Marxian social theory, and anthropology.

However, the implications of the “The Purloined Letter,” as a tale of ratiocination, has largely been left unexplored. “The Purloined Letter” explores logical processes of value and exchange, particularly economic exchange, in a manner very similar to what Charles Sanders Peirce will call pragmatism several

abstract: Since their introduction into English in the mid-sixteenth Century, accommodations have registered weighty concepts in religious, economic, and political discourse: they represented the process by which divine principles could be adapted to human understanding, the non-interest property loans that were the bedrock of Christian neighborliness, and a political accord that would satisfy all warring factions.

Abstract: The term fetish was originally used to describe inanimate objects that had religious or spiritual significance. By the early 20th century, the term was also used to describe the condition of being sexually aroused by a specific inanimate object or class of objects. Since then, fetishism has expanded to include reference to a sexual interest in animate objects (e.g., body parts) and/or specific sexual activities (e.g., sex in dangerous places) or a combination of both an object and activity (e.g., transvestic fetishism). This chapter provides a review of uses of the term fetish. Criteria from the Fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and the International Classification of Diseases are presented and discussed. Etiologic theories and treatment approaches are presented and reviewed. A review of the recent literature on these topics is presented.

Abstract:
Using moments of putative rupture as a lens onto the past and the world, the fiction of Roberto Bolaño articulates two genealogies—the hemispheric (and global) history of neoliberal counterrevolution and the planetary history of capitalist, colonial modernity. Revealing the histories cast in shadow by the global reach of capital and empire, Bolaño’s work, this chapter demonstrates, simultaneously meditates on literature’s ambivalent relationship to cultures of historical erasure. Literature, Bolaño’s fiction insists, is both one mechanism through which the blank spots in our vision are formed and normalized, and one urgent site of resistance to the apparatuses of fetishism and reification.

Abstract:
In many of his novels, both those published under his own name and his pseudonymous works, L. Frank Baum includes many queerly inflected male characters whose masculinities subvert dominant cultural norms, including girl-haters, dandies, and mollycoddles. More so, Baum eschews depicting heterosocial couples and focuses instead on close homosocial friendships, including those, in a fantasy reformulation of a married couple, envisioning two men who share a single body. Of all Baum’s fiction, The Tin Woodman of Oz most forthrightly rejects the heteronormative imperative, in its questing storyline of the Tin Woodman seeking his lost fiancée and the many unexpected reasons precluding their romantic reunion. This chapter closes with a brief overview of Baum’s other odd and unexpected eroticisms, including his characters’ forays in fetishism and masochism. Children’s literature often eschews direct treatments of sexuality but Baum’s works deftly engage with the queer potential of homosocial friendships and other same-sex pairings.

Full text
Abstract:
Chapter 9 aims to explore the affective dynamics of contemporary academic capitalism, interpreting the neoliberal, corporate academia as the icon of an affective economy in which affect takes the place of money. The theoretical framework is delineated through the concept of affective economy, and is grounded in the literature on affective capitalism. It avoids a definition of ‘what affect is’, following instead the traces of ‘what affect does’. One particular academic practice of management through affect is illustrated, with the focus on how the academic body is trained for performing what Kristiina Brunila (2016) calls ‘academicity’ – the dynamics in between control, self-managing and passion. Two main concepts are discussed. One is ‘academic fetishism’ and the second is ‘academic affective athleticism’. The chapter concludes with a discussion of old and new ‘forms of resistance’ as a necessary ingredient for practices of management through affect: to be affected and to affect cannot be separated.

Abstract:
Certain texts exert their power in the social world not necessarily or simply through their rhetorical/discursive power or artistic beauty but more importantly, through their sheer presence. These texts act upon their audience and produce certain desired effects. These acts of writing and inscribing can be called text acts and their products, textographic fetishes. This writing has been endowed with so much power in China because traditionally, most subjects of the empire were illiterate or marginally literate. This article presents temple inscriptions of various genres (not just stele inscriptions) from three temple sites in Shaanbei, north-central China. The data were collected during ethnographic field trips in the 1990s and in the summer of 2016.

Abstract:
This chapter sketches the beginnings of literary modernity in Senegal through an analysis of a remarkable nineteenth-century collection of textual artifacts.This collection includes a multilingual corpus of poetry, calligraphy, folktales, and songs, as well as the textual components of several leather-bound protective amulets that for centuries Europeans called “fetishes.” The collection was assembled by David Boilat, a mixed-race priest, who pasted his findings into the pages of a notebook before sending them to anthropologists in Paris. Boilat’s notebook reframes the residues of many different textual practices and performance genres as texts that can be quotable, transportable, and readable in new ways. This subsumes collected artifacts into a new textual order, founded on the principle of readability. Nearly a century later, a young Léopold Senghor would incorporate some of Boilat’s collections into an early anthology of African writing in French, thereby consecrating them as literature.
