Summary: | Hartmut Böhme’s study of fetishism spans all the way from Christian image magic in the Middle Ages to fetishistic practices in fashion, advertising, sport and popular culture today. In it he provides a thorough exploration of religion, magic, idolatry, sexuality and consumption, charting the mental, scientific and artistic processes through which fetishism became a central category in European culture’s account of itself. Von den christlichen Bildmagien des Mittelalters bis hin zu den heutigen fetischistischen Praktiken in Mode, Werbung, Sport und Popkultur reicht H. Böhmes Abhandlung zum Fetischismus. Er behandelt ausführlich Religion, Magie, Idolatrie, Sexualität und Konsum. Rekonstruiert werden die mentalen, wissenschaftshistorischen und künstlerischen Prozesse, durch die der Fetischismus zur zentralen Kategorie der Selbstbeschreibung europäischer Kultur wurde. |
