Answer:
I'll answer medically, not historically or anthropologically. I believe, very simply, and contained by contradiction to Freud and others, that there is no aetiology for the fetish. It is simply an expression of the fluently diverse list of things that turn humans on. If something is a sexual turn on to the exclusion of genital to genital intercourse, it may be problematic, but if the personality or his or her partner have no complaints, even afterwards what's the big deal. Bottom vein, EVEN IF there are cause, they are multiple. There is no mono-causal explanation for fetishism.
This article concerns the concept of fetishism in anthropology. Separate articles are devoted to sexual fetishism and the Marxist concept of commodity fetishism.
A fetish (from French fétiche; from Portuguese feitico; from Latin facticius, "artificial" and facere, "to make") is an purpose believed to have supernatural powers, or surrounded by particular a man-made doubt that has power over others.
The concept be coined by Charles de Brosses in 1757, while comparing West African religion to the magical aspects of Ancient Egyptian religion. He and other 18th century scholar used the concept to apply evolution theory to religion. In de Brosses' view of the evolution of religion, he proposed that fetishism is the earliest (most primitive) stage, followed by the stages of polytheism and monotheism and totemism to account for fetishism. Essentially, fetishism is attributing some class of inherent value or powers to an express doubts. For example, the person who see magical or divine significance in a bits and pieces object is mistakenly ascribing inherent appeal to some object which does not possess that efficacy (hence Marx's commodity fetishism: belief that objects control us, i.e. influence our actions, when it is really the other route around)
In the 19th century, Tylor and McLennan held that the concept of fetishism allowed historians of religion to shift attention from the relationship between people and God to the relationship between folks and material objects. They also held that it established models of causative explanations of natural events which they considered false as a central problem in history and sociology.
[edit] Practice
Theoretically, fetishism is present contained by all religions, but its use contained by the study of religion is derived from studies of traditional West African religious beliefs, as well as Voodoo, which is derived from those beliefs.
Blood is repeatedly considered a particularly powerful fetish or ingredient surrounded by fetishes. In some parts of Africa, the mane of white people be also considered powerful.
In addition to blood, other objects and substances, such as bones, fur, claws, feathers, wet from certain places, indisputable types of plants, and wood are common fetish in the traditions of cultures worldwide.
