Hello from the U.K. What an interestin...Hi Vanessa,<br />Hello from the U.K. What an interesting and articulate article I shall come back and read more. I think I was always aware of the dichotomy between Fetish and Totem, but I could not have put it in to words. I shall keep a clearer eye out for the appearance of both. <br /><br />Of course I was aware of the epic and mythic references of Star Wars but I didn’t think so much could be drawn out of it. In my experience of working in a school one of the problems in society is that the heroes young men choose, are fairly shallow, either footballers or rappers, it’s just about money. Being charitable one could say that their choice is limited because they haven’t be exposed to a wider selection. One could sound very snobbish here, but, that’s part of the point; ones choice of hero is a value judgement. <br /><br />I found your blog researching animal totems; I’m an artist making animal sculptures which I see as guardian spirits www.markgibbs.co.uk if you are interested. I would welcome your comments <br />Best wishes Mark GibbsMarkGibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887581639932956993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538710136825122268.post-22228157494860958952009-02-15T07:08:00.000-08:002009-02-15T07:08:00.000-08:00Wow, this is the best piece of analysis left.

Writers like you are important because they put names to what is bugging us ("fetish") and what is inspiring us ("totem"), so that we can marshall those words into a narrative that disallows us as characters to fetishize our scene or our costumes. <BR/>Also, it's exhilarating to read a person with a BA in Psychology reclaim Freud (the Jar Jar Binks of Psychology majors)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
