ResumoStarting out from discussion of current state of Afro-Brazilian studies, this article addresses recently revived debate over formerly widely disseminated ideas concerning the and fetishism. It first examines how that debate has been conducted in studies of Afro-Brazilian religions, using bibliographical and field-work data on one of those religions - candomble - to describe native theory of creation process which underlies that which outsiders have labelled fetish and fetishism. Briefly, theory holds that process of creation actualizes existing virtualities rather than producing, out of nothing, our Judaeo-Christian and capitalist cosmology.
