	Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Spandex fetishism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Spandex fetishism is the name popularly used to describe a fetishistic attraction to people wearing shiny stretch fabrics[?], or in certain cases, to the garments themselves.
		One reason why spandex and other tight fabrics may be fetishised is perhaps that the garment forms a "second skin" that acts as a fetishistic surrogate for the wearer's own skin.
		Spandex fetishism often involves dressing up in the material, or looking at it worn by sexual partners, or fantasies about wearers of skin-tight spandex garments such as athletes, acrobats, gymnasts, dancers, swimmers and contortionists.

	Metropolis: The Robot Maria
		Whether or not the robot possesses the ability of self-reflection, if she is in fact imbued with a form of generalized female soul, which remains to be seen, it originates in the very body which confines her and creates predictable evidence of malicious feminine will.
		The robot Maria is the beneficiary of a form of bodily self-reflection which allows her to have further agency without an explicit capacity to question her own actions.
		But if the robot is attributed with will and autonomy, her action strikes one as perfectly in character, representing a kind of unholy joy in her new-found ability to pass as a human being, or, even more plausibly, her connection to the atavistic sexual power of woman.

		For the anthropologist Malinowski, fetishism was an ancient practice by which "natives" worshipped ordinary objects (dolls, bags of stones) as though they were invested with godly power.
		For Freud, fetishism is less a religious, and more a sexual process by which a person disavows sexual difference by reverting to semi-infantile desires.
		Robotics still flourishes as a practice and automobiles are still a symbol of sexual power.

		The navigational electrical discharges of the virtually blind elephant fish instruct the actions of a robot whose task is to monitor the development of plants.
		The robot is also free to express its "feelings" about the conditions of the plants and its relationship with the fish through soundsm light signals and motions configured to convey excitement, awe, anxiety and disappointment.
		The robot, despite its sophisticated intelligence, is a slave to the fish and to the plants (both unaware of what's going on) and can express itself only within prescribed limits.

	Computers in Fiction
		Popular culture, however, soon appropriated the term robot to identify those hordes of walking, talking, thinking machines that would became a staple of science fiction in print, film, and exhibits--such as Voder, the talking mechanical man at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
		The first memorable movie robots appeared in the 1950s, and the two highlights were both products of extraterrestrial civilizations: the all-powerful Gort in The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) and Robby the Robot in Forbidden Planet (1956).
		Because the supercomputers of the 1940s and 1950s were gigantic, their fictional descendants were commonly imagined to be colossal machines, sometimes concentrating the computational functions of a whole society in a single centralized mechanical intelligence.

		I mean the scenes where Will Smith wallops a zillion robots while driving his supercar down an underground tunnel, or while clinging by a fingernail to a ledge so high it sets even his heroic nerves on edge.
		Smith's portrayal of the hero, a cop convinced that a scientist's supposed suicide was actually a murder committed by a robot - which, if true, would expose a disastrous flaw in the "laws of robotics" that keep humans safe from their mechanical servants.
		If you think of the robots as a race of slaves, barred from higher human achievements by their authoritarian human owners, the story takes on much inner meaning - even if the ending is regrettably ambiguous on this score, suggesting that the filmmakers care less about resolving moral dilemmas than opening the door to sequels.

	Mangamaniacs Review: Mobile Police Patlabor by Masami Yuki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		I've never been a big fan of the "giant robot" sub-genre of anime and manga.
		To be fair, I haven't seen or read that many of them, but that's because I think of them as soulless and mechanical, more interested in portraying the specifications of imaginary technology and violent giant robot battles than a captivating plot or compelling characters.
		Through her, Masami Yuki cleverly pokes fun at some of the very stereotypes I was worried about encountering, yet he never makes Izumi look ridiculous or pathetic.

	Statuephilia - Psychology Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		Statuephilia also crosses over into transformation fetishism in the form of fantasies about people transformed into any of those objects.
		For many it is the idea of immobility or loss of control that is arousing rather than an immobile object per se, and so there are also fantasies about mannequin-like paralysis which sometimes cross over into hypnofetishism and robot fetishism (See also: Gynoid).
		Such fantasies may of course be extended to roleplaying, and the self-coined term used by women who enjoy being transformed appears to be "rubber doll" or "latex doll".
