hi sharad, if i'm not wrong i think this is what the turm means. scopophelia is basically perceiving women as objects, and forgetting all that which is human about the woman. so when a man gazes at a woman and sort of thinks of her as an item to be grabbed, etc, without any regard for her own desires feelings etc. fetishism is a sort of psychological disorder in which u become obsessed with a particular body part, or clothing which may or may not directly be a sexual organ. for example a fetish for someones feet, hands etc. but its a form of extreme obsession with that particular part, with complete disregard for the whole person. so a combo of both these words would mean something like an extreme obsession for a particular part of the object of desire, and basically building sexual fantacy around that 1 particular part.
any 1 else having better knowledge may throw some more light on the subject, this was just my priliminary idea. u may also look it up online if u wish to persue it for the disability seminar. best, shireen.
