Inspired by the future events and happenings in Istanbul that are expected to run parallel to our next issue, we have decided upon the ‘Fetish’ as our next context. Here’s a quote from Independent Scholars’ website, to explain more about Fetishism.

“Fetishism is used in three distinct but, arguably, interconnected ways: commodity fetishism, sexual fetishism and religious fetishism. From voodoo dolls to Catholic sacraments, from latex cat suits to stiletto heels, from shiny i-pods to red Corvettes the fetish is always an object that exceeds both its value and its function as a mere object. The fetish, it seems, is never itself but always a stand-in for something else.”
