He uses discrete cultural artifacts as windows through which to view local instances of the mediation of pleasure and desire, demonstrating that users of cultural objects adapt them to suit their own strategic ends. Ranging widely over texts and cultures, he discusses Hopi initiation rites, Holbein's painting \u003ci\u003eThe Ambassadors\u003c\/i\u003e, Robert Boyle's early scientific manual \u003ci\u003eNew Experiments Physico-Chemical\u003c\/i\u003e, Toni Morrison's \u003ci\u003eBeloved\u003c\/i\u003e, the popular television series \u003ci\u003eMystery Science Theatre 3000\u003c\/i\u003e, and David Cronenberg's film \u003ci\u003eCrash\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJacques Lacan's theory of the gaze and Louis Althusser's theory of ideology frame Krips's perspectives on fetishism and the discourse of perversion, which he considers in light of postcolonial theory, the history of science, screen theory, and, of course, psychoanalysis. What results is a work remarkable for its clear exposition and its sophisticated synthesis of major theorists, its provocative argument that pleasure comes not from attaining desire but rather from moving around its object-cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHenry Krips is Professor of Communication, and of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh.
