Description

In recent years, the Freudian construction of a passive, female sexuality has been severely criticised by feminists. This book tackles the question of female fetishism and documents women's engagement in this form of sexuality. Most psychoanalytic theory excludes the very possibility of the existence of female fetishism. In the face of the wealth of evidence gathered in this book, covering a range of fetishistic practices, the authors suggest that Freudian phallocentrism has prevented analysts from seeing the evidence before their eyes. "Female Fetishism" provides a theoretical context for understanding the subject, and also collects together case material from food and advertising fetishism to the obsessional behaviour of pop fans - collecting pop paraphernalia and locks of idols' hair - and women's involvement in the world of fetish magazines and dress clubs.
