Object Lessons: How to Do Things with Fetishism (SUNY Series in Psychoanalysis and Culture) Book
Object Lessons begins with the question, What can fetishism teach us? One answer, as this book makes clear, is that fetishism is a form of subject-object relation that informs us about basic strategies of defining, desiring, and knowing subjects and objects in Western culture.
