This paper, from two perspectives, discusses the conspiracy problem between arcades and developed capitalist: one is from text level, namely from the manuscript of Benjamin's Arcades Project. The other is from arcade as material culture, from its building materials, structure, function and so on to discuss on the 'Fetishism' during the developed capitalist period of arcade. Benjamin hopes to escape from reality with the help of surrealism through illusoriness means to summon Messiah. However, Benjamin's criticism method itself has Utopia nature, which seeks breakthrough from the heart but not through external change. His arcade plan should be abstract thinking to the whole society rather than political economy critique pointing external reality. The post -modernity showed from Benjamin's critique of arcade is similar to the current situation of the arcade, which quietly echoes Baudrillard's Simulacra Culture Theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Taking Africa Fang race's sculpture of West Equatorial as a case study, this paper discusses three paradigms in the Western art anthropology during the last half century. The first paradigm is stylistic analysis, which emphasizing the sculpture itself and its morphological properties. This quantitative approach aimed at distinguishing sculptural styles and sub styles and its goal is mapping the art production of the Fang geographically. Such a typological approach has colonial roots and serves the purposes of surveillance and control. The second is qualitative analysis which focuses not on form but on meaning. On the basis of local research, anthropologists presented Fang sculpture as the embodiment of the Fang social cultural value system. This approach, based on fieldwork and highlighting culture's unique values and thinking ways, may be considered as classical cultural anthropology paradigm. It followed Franz Boas's teachings created in the US. This research tradition rooted in nineteenth--century Germany. The third is post--colonialism paradigm. This paradigm investigated the attitude of western artists, collectors, and museums since Fang sculpture arrived in Europe at the nineteenth--century. It pays attention to the appropriation of these things, including re--labeling them as "work as art" and their commoditization in the international art market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
