Abstract:
This study compares fetishistic desires exhibited within Faulkner's fiction to the narrative strategies governing those texts. It surveys Faulkner's thematic and narrative experiments with fetishism from his first poems and sketches through his major novels. His early works, especially "Nympholepsy" and The Marble Faun, capture fetishistic moments of longing and lack of fulfillment, attraction and repulsion. Faulkner's novels, though, re-enact the dynamics of fetishism by means of their narrative strategies; thus, Faulkner achieves a correspondence between the fictional form and the fetish dep

Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
This research paper examines the role of the souvenir in terms of social relations and notions of self-identity and/or autobiography. Many types of souvenir objects (commercial and non-commercial) are explored as being agents that participate in the construction of identity. Commodity fetishism, nostalgia and fetishism are examined as key elements that define the social relations surrounding the souvenir. The notion of home and family is also explored as a fundamental aspect of how identity is constructed.

While many female contemporary art practitioners employ erotic fetishism in their work, the discourse surrounding fetishism is still perceived as primarily masculine.

The Road to Los Angeles, the first novel written by Italian-American author John Fante, is most often recognized as a tale concerned with Italian-American alienation, xenophobia and existence on the periphery of mainstream society.

Fetishism, a motif that constitutes a vast theoretical field in itself, will be analyzed using the lens of Freudian theory and more recent works by critics such as Louise J. Kaplan and Johanna Malt.

Given a post-structuralist critique of the metaphysics of presence within western thought, It is surprising that much contemporary theory that discusses fetishism still subscribes to concepts of substitution and disavowal which uphold a notion of self-present value. This study offers an original critique of traditional views of fetishism via a consideration of the role of surplus and equivalence within the production of value. Rather than describing fetishism in terms of a disavowal of a self-present determination of value, this critique recognizes that what is ultimately denied within traditi

According to Freud, fetishism is based on disavowal (Verleugnung): the possibility of believing two contradictory propositions to be true simultaneously. This thesis argues that the structure of the sign and of meaning more generally can be understood to function in exactly this way. The sign both is and is not that which it represents. Disavowal offers a theoretical explanation of the functioning of language, meaning and text based on a principle of the simultaneous existence of two contradictory propositions.

Abstract:
This thesis seeks to trace domination theory back to the influential work done by Marx on commodity fetishism. Marx's work proves to be an original account of domination that explains how the dominated many accept the rule of the privileged few. The theory of commodity fetishism develops the idea that individuals come to adopt beliefs that bolster and reproduce the status quo of capitalism. For Marx, the way that individuals experience capitalism is different from the way that it actually works because, in fact, lived experience is actually false.

Abstract:
Este trabalho consiste em abordar o conceito de fetichismo da mercadoria, de Karl Marx, presente principalmente na obra O Capital. Ao fazer essa abordagem, a pesquisa encontrou aspectos de certa teoria da ação que estariam presentes na problemática do fetichismo. As relações entre a ação e a representação formam o eixo que permeia toda a pesquisa. Está dividida em três capítulos. No primeiro, se apresenta o fetichismo como um problema que relaciona de modo muito particular a ação e a representação. Para refletir sobre estes aspectos buscamos, nos capítulos seguintes, alguns pontos da teoria da

Abstract:
Le fétichisme s’inscrit dans un lignage épistémologique fait d’emprunts et d’assimilations où les disciplines qui s’en emparent se trouvent transvaluées, dans leurs méthodologies et leurs dogmes, à mesure qu’elles s’en saisissent pour penser des phénomènes internes à leur champ. « Paradigme des perversions » pour Freud, « Perversion des perversions » pour Lacan, le fétichisme joue un rôle décisif dans la constitution des appareils théoriques métapsychologiques permettant l’analyse des variations érotiques, mais aussi du rapport du sujet à l’objet dans une acception plus universelle. Ces modèle

Abstract:
This thesis is ‘about’ two places. Firstly, it is about Town A, which is a milieu located in South-East Northumberland (UK). Town A was once culturally and socio-economically defined by its coalmining industry. Town A’s last remaining mine closed around thirty years ago; at which point Town A became de-industrialised. Town A’s de-industrialisation, and subsequent, on-going transition from an industrial into a post-industrial economy and culture ‘frames’ this work and its dialectics. Secondly, this research is about Gym D, which is a gym that is located in Town A. Gym D attracts the areas’ ‘har

Abstract:
Notre recherche part du constat empirique de l’omniprésence et de l’extension permanente des techniques numériques dans des domaines variés de la vie sociale contemporaine, et ce alors que ces techniques ne se déploient tous azimuts que depuis le tournant des années 1960. Jusqu’à cette date, leur conception et leur mise au point étaient menées en vue d’améliorer la productivité de tâches calculatoires bien spécifiques, dans les domaines scientifique, militaire et statistique. Ce constat d’un déferlement numérique nous amène à nous interroger sur les ressorts de sa dynamique, notamment en lien

Abstract:
O objeto desta pesquisa é a estrutura perversão e seus desdobramentos na relação com o gozo, abarcando o fetichismo e o masoquismo como os dois paradigmas dessa estrutura. Seu objetivo central é investigar como a Verleugnung e o gozo se conjugam para manter as duas modalidades de gozo perverso acima descritas. Seus objetivos complementares procuram estabelecer a genealogia do pai em Freud e a intrínseca relação que o Urvater possui com a fantasia perversa. A primeira parte da dissertação versa sobre a perversão como estrutura clínica, elaboração proposta por Jacques Lacan. Nela é discutida a q

Abstract:
L'objectif de cette thèse est de repérer les mécanismes psychopathologiques inconscients susceptibles de conduire des sujets gays à prendre des risques par rapport au VIH/sida. D'un point de vue épidémiologique, les homosexuels masculins constituent en effet la " population " la plus touchée par cette épidémie en France. Or, les études de psychologie comportementale et de sociologie constructionniste déjà menées sur ce sujet sont limitées dans leur analyse par des présupposés rationalistes et des méthodologies directives. En partenariat avec des associations de lutte contre le sida, nous avons
