| | Fetishism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Theoretically, fetishism is present in all religions, but its use in the study of religion is derived from studies of traditional West African religious beliefs, as well as Voodoo, which is derived from those beliefs. | | | In the 19th century, philosophers such as Herbert Spencer repudiated de Brosses' theory that fetishism was the "original religion". | | | The concept was coined by Charles de Brosses in 1757, while comparing West African religion to the magical aspects of Ancient Egyptian religion. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Fetishism |
| | Fetishism therefore is a stage where God is quietly disregarded, and the worship due to Him is quietly transferred to a multitude of spiritual agencies under His power, but uncontrolled by it. | | | Hübbe-Schleiden, on the contrary, holds that fetishism is not a proper designation for a religion, because Judaism and Christianity have their fetishes as well as the nature religions, and says the word fetish should be used as analogous to a word-symbol or emblem. | | | He denies that fetishism is the primitive religion, or a basis from which religion developed, or a stage of religious development. |

| | FREUD: FETISHISM |
| | The significance of fetishes is not known to the world at large and therefore not prohibited; they are easily obtainable and sexual gratification by their means is thus very convenient. | | | To put it plainly: the fetish is a substitute for the woman's (mother's) phallus which the little boy once believed in and does not wish to forego— we know why. | | | That is to say: it should normally have been given up, but the purpose of the fetish precisely is to preserve it from being lost. |

| | The Reality behind Commodity Fetishism |
| | Arthur Ripstein points out that the “parallel with religious fetishism would be complete if the fetishism of commodities were the precondition, both genetically and logically, of the origin and continued existence of capitalism”. | | | A central part of the scientificity of these discoveries seems to be- besides the way in which the investigations were carried out- that they present knowledge which goes beyond everyday appearance. | | | In the case of religion, Feuerbach argued, as soon as one looks behind the mechanisms that brought about religious beliefs, they would vanish. |

| | Freedom and Fetishism |
| | Fetishism, then, infuses the youthful exuberance of capitalism with a religious zeal — and a religious naivete; disenchantment comes with a fullness of years, and may slacken the pace, but leaves a new freedom in its wake. | | | It is not he who is acting, it is the God (or daemon) who is acting in and through him; he cannot criticise, modify or change the world; he, like the world itself, is merely the vehicle of an alien Will. | | | By picturing themselves as unfree, men make themselves unfree: their prophecy of powerlessness is self-fulfilling. |

| | Genders OnLine Journal - A Myth Beyond the Phallus: Female Fetishism in Kathy Acker's Late Novels |
| | The latter passage in particular, with its reversion to the mirror and the injunction against speech, fits the Lacanian definition of fetishism as a resistance to entry into the paternal law--a resistance that results in an oscillation between the imaginary and symbolic realms, and in non-communication (Lacan and Granoff 272). | | | Second, the relegation of history to a place solely within the province of the phallus confines history to the realm of language, or of text. | | | Lobotomy-as-castration describes Acker's attempt to translate the moment of entry into the symbolic law out of the realm of the family and prehistory, into the realm of the social institution and history. |

| | But this version of commodity fetishism refers to more—the belief that the car (or any manufactured object) is more important than people, and confers special powers beyond material utility to those who possess it. | | | In Marx's day, the word was primarily used in the study of primitive religions; Marx's 'Fetishism of Commodities' might be seen as identifying just such primitive belief systems at the heart of modern society. | | | This abstraction is refered to as "fetishism." (It should be noted that the term "social" is used by Marx to refer to the essential organization of a society, i.e., to those processes by which a society allocates the tasks necessary to its survival.) |

| | Her acknowledgement of her ignorance about law suggests a willingness to take responsibility for the legal object she constructs. | | | In this role, sexual fetishism becomes evidence of the psychic operation of disavowal, or the unconscious compromise reached by the male between the "unwelcome perception" that women do not have a penis, and the "force of his counter-wish" that she possess one. | | | The map itself comes to her as a result of one of her rational hypotheses: if the Tristero were real, then Inverarity's estate would be no different from any other, and knowledge of the Tristero might be discoverable anywhere. |

| | INTRODUCTION: COMMODITY FETISHISM by Fredy Perlman |
| | A thing which possesses such powers is a fetish, and the fetish world "is an enchanted, perverted, topsy - turvy world, in which Mister Capital and Mistress Land carry on their goblin tricks as social characters and at the same time as mere things." | | | The later contrast becomes the basis for Marx's theory of commodity fetishism, and thus for his theory of value. | | | From here, we might follow Rubin and show the relationship of this contrast between the ideal and the actual to the later contrast between productive forces and relations of production. |
