{"product_id":"9781800736870","title":"Fairies, Ghosts, and Santa Claus : Tinted Glasses, Fetishes, and the Politics of Seeing","description":"\u003cp\u003eInvestigating the politics of seeing and its effects, this book draws on Slavoj Žižek’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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48846941847787,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":247.21,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781800736870-1.jpg?v=1781705033","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781800736870","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
