Fairies, Ghosts, and Santa Claus: Tinted Glasses, Fetishes, and the Politics of Seeing
Neriko Musha Doerr
Investigating the politics of seeing and its effects, this book draws on Slavoj Zizek's notion of fetish and Walter Benjamin's notion of the optical unconscious to offer newer concepts: "tinted glasses", through which we see the world; "unit-thinking", which renders the world as consisting of discrete units; and "coherants", which help fragmented experiences cohere into something intelligible. Examining experiences at a Japanese heritage language school, a study-abroad trip to Sierra Leone, as well as in college classrooms, this book reveals the workings of unit-thinking and fetishism in diverse contexts and explores possibilities for social change.
