The author of the article compares two post-modern models of symbolic economy – those of Jean Baudrillard and Jean-Joseph Goux, while confronting them with Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalysis agains the backdrop of philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre and sociology of Pierre Bourdieu. This juxtaposition allows to designate the differences between alternative modes of valuating present in culture, and at the same time to reconstruct their mutual deep structure as a fetishization of impulsive partial objects (breasts, voice, excrements, and gaze). The structure probes to be a derivative of psycho-symbolic relations between sexes, albeit distorting these relations significantly.
