This captivating book delves into the realm of fetishism, presenting an innovative theory known as "alternative fetishism." Through a comprehensive examination of Jeanette Winterson's literary works, it offers fresh perspectives and insightful interpretations on gender, sexuality, and identity. By integrating contemporary theories from psychoanalytical and cultural studies, the book proposes a reimagining of fetishism, positioning it as a prevalent practice in society. This reorientation enables a more critical analysis of Winterson's writings, shedding light on her unique perspective on fetishism.
The book is organized into three main chapters, each exploring a distinct theme within Winterson's fiction: bodily fetishism, food fetishism, and sexual fetishism. While the book primarily focuses on Winterson's oeuvre, the theoretical framework it establishes possesses broader applications beyond her works. It can be applied to other authors and disciplines within the Arts and Humanities, such as theatre and film, offering novel ways of contemplating topics such as fetishism, feminism, psychoanalytical theory, postmodernism, gender, and sexuality.
Through its engaging and thought-provoking narrative, this book invites readers to explore the complexities of human experiences and relationships, challenging conventional notions and offering alternative perspectives on fetishism and its significance in shaping our understanding of gender, sexuality, and identity.
