Dickinson?s book provides a fresh perspective on questions of violence. Consider it required reading.? ?Kent L. Brintnall, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA ?Dickinson unmasks the ?fetish? of theology, and reveals the proximity of the fetish to the sacramental-object. He indicates the political tensions and fetishes inherent within theology?s own claims to locate an infinite divinity within material reality. This opens new pathways for the thinking of political-theological horizons within western thought.? ?Anné Verhoef, Professor of Philosophy, North West University, South Africa By delving into the history of the fetish-object among both modern and contemporary commentators, this book highlights the fetish-object?s role as a philosophical and religious concept of the highest significance. Historically, fetishes are implicated in specific struggles for sovereign (political) and/or religious (hierarchical) power, with their interwoven symbols defined as the primary location for transcendence in our world. This book defines the political consequences of fetish-objects within a western cultural, and primarily theological context through a comparative approach of various literatures on fetish-objects?anthropological to the psychological, Marxist to the theological. It reconceives of fetishes as a form of resistance to oppressive structures, something which motivated Christians themselves historically, and shaped our western understanding of the sacraments far more than has been acknowledged. Taking up this conversation likewise holds forth the possibility of reconceptualizing how fetish-objects and sacramental presences both speak profoundly to our late-modern selves. 410 0$aRadical Theologies and Philosophies,$x2634-6648 606 $aLiberation theology 606 $aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy 606 $aLiberation Theology 606 $aSocial Philosophy 615 0$aLiberation theology. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aLiberation Theology. 615 24$aSocial Philosophy. 676 $a202.1 676 $a200 700 $aDickinson$b Colby$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0990588 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910390858603321 996 $aThe Fetish of Theology$92266231 997 $aUNINA
