Shoes, gloves, umbrellas, cigars that are not just objects-the
topic of fetishism seems both bizarre and inevitable. In this
venturesome and provocative book, Emily Apter offers a fresh
account of the complex relationship between representation and
sexual obsession in turn-of-the-century French culture. Analyzing
works by authors in the naturalist and realist traditions as well
as making use of documents from a contemporary medical archive, she
considers fetishism as a cultural artifact and as a subgenre of
realist fiction. Apter traces the web of connections among
fin-de-siecle representations of perversion, the fiction of
pathology, and the literary case history. She explores in
particular the theme of "female fetishism" in the context of the
feminine culture of mourning, collecting, and dressing.
