“In 1927, Sigmund Freud published his essay on “Fetishism”, in which he writes that the meaning and purpose of the fetish turns out, through analysis, to always be the same: “the fetish is a substitute for the penis…for a particular and quite special penis that had been extremely important in early childhood but had later been lost.” In refusing to see his mother’s lack of penis, the boy disavows (German: Verleugnung, not repression: Verdrängung) what he sees, resulting in both a belief and a non-belief in the woman’s phallus. This compromise (produced by the conflict between perception and the counter-wish) results in a substitute (the fetish). “It remains a token of triumph over the threat of castration and a protection against it.”
