"Fetish: An Erotics of Culture is clear, but also complex and subtle. Krips's book, like Zizek's own work, ... makes a significant contribution to filling in the gap between social theory and psychoanalytic theory."
--Journal for the Psychoanalysis of Culture"A brilliant contribution to the understanding of the psychological dimension of social practices and cultural forms through a new account of Lacan's theory of fetishism and the objet a. His provocative reexamination of the work of theorists such as Homi Bhabha on fetishism and colonialism and Judith Butler on interpellation and the possibilities for resistance is powerfully supported by a series of subtle and illuminating analyses of diverse cultural forms ranging from Boyle's scientific treatises to Cronenberg's Crash."
--Elizabeth Cowie, University of Kent at Canterbury"Combining Althusser's reading of Marx and Lacan's reading of Freud, offering a critique of the standard feminist deconstructionist appropriations of the notion of fetish, written in a clear and precise language, Krips's book is arguably the best book on psychoanalytical social theory ever written. In an exemplary dialectical way, it provides a global insight into how society reproduces itself through the deployment of a single concept. A must for social theorists, students of cultural studies, psychoanalysts, and for everyone who simply wants to understand why people act the way they do."
--Slavoj Zizek"Henry Krips has written a compelling and original argument for the importance of psychoanalytic theory to cultural studies. Through an original rethinking of such central concepts as interpellation, fetishism, and the gaze, Krips brings new insight to the attempt to synthesize Marx and Freud. Of course, the value of any such project has to be measured by its ability to enable new critical practices and insights. Krips takes up this challenge, embodying his theoretical work in a series of innovative readings of diverse cultural texts."
--Lawrence Grossberg, Morris Davis Professor of Communication Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"Offers a clear and rigorous presentation of several key psychoanalytic concepts and explores the possibilities and limits of their application to the social realm.... Krips most remarkable talent in this book is his ability to present... complex arguments... in economical and accessible prose. Krips shows how the twin concepts of fetishism and the gaze can be refashioned into a powerful interpretative engine."
