For more than 250 years, Charles de Brosses's term "fetishism" has
exerted great influence over our most ambitious thinkers. Used as
an alternative to "magic" but nonetheless expressing the material
force of magical thought, de Brosses's term has proved
indispensable to thinkers as diverse as Kant, Hegel, Marx, Freud,
Lacan, Baudrillard, and Derrida. With this book, Daniel H. Leonard
offers the first fully annotated English translation of the text
that started it all: On the Worship of Fetish Gods, and Rosalind C.
Morris offers incisive commentary that helps modern readers better
understand it and its legacy. The product of de Brosses's
autodidactic curiosity and idiosyncratic theories of language, On
the Worship of Fetish Gods is an enigmatic text that is often
difficult for contemporary audiences to assess. In a thorough
introduction to the text, Leonard situates de Brosses's work within
the cultural and intellectual milieu of his time. Then, Morris
traces the concept of fetishism through its extraordinary
permutations as it was picked up and transformed by the fields of
philosophy, comparative religion, political economy,
psychoanalysis, and anthropology. Ultimately, she breaks new
ground, moving into and beyond recent studies by thinkers such as
William Pietz, Hartmut Bohme, Alfonso Iacono through illuminating,
new discussions on topics ranging from translation issues to
Africanity to new materialism.
