Book Description

Europe, 1875: Leon, Donato et Hansen sont des magnetiseurs celebres qui pratiquent leur art sur les treteaux. Entendons par la qu'ils font des seances publiques d'hypnose. Celles-ci ont ete deja interdites a Donato en Italie, tandis qu'en France et ailleurs les medecins veulent aussi les faire interdire pour se reserver le monopole et le privilege du magnetisme. L'auteur de cet ouvrage, Joseph Delboeuf, professeur l'universite de Liege, n'aime ni les monopoles ni les privileges. Il a pris le parti de la liberte et se bat avec beaucoup de malice, d'humour et d'informations contre la clique des societes savantes et contre une revue specialisee qui semble prete a tout pour garder son lectorat. Ce livre agreable a lire est une mine d'informations sur l'histoire, les acteurs et les pratiques de l'hypnose medicale. Version imprimée disponible sur www.buenosbooks.fr

Book Description

Vividly bringing to light the tradition of physical comedy in the French cabaret, cafe-concert, and early French film comedy, this book answers the perplexing question, "Why do the French love Jerry Lewis?" It shows how Lewis touches a nerve in the French cultural memory because, more than any other film comic, he incarnates a distinctively French tradition of performance style."

Book Description

Despite more than two centuries of having tacitly recognized its enormous potential utility, the phenomenon of hypnosis has always been commonly regarded with outright Fear and Loathing. How is it possible that something as beneficial to humanity as hypnosis ever came to be viewed in such a horrible manner? I intend to show that the history of hypnotism provides us with the clue to this unfortunate legacy; and I've neither spared anyone's feelings nor pulled any punches in this quest to reveal the shamefully appalling level of incompetence and ignorance that has characterized the (mis)use of this phenomenon since its discovery by Mesmer more than two hundred years ago.

Book Description

This biography is the first comprehensive volume to delve into the life, scholarship, writing, and hobbies of the famed doctor, for whom Tourette's Syndrome is named. In Part One, we learn Georges' family history, follow his schooling and mentorship under Charcot, travel to the World's Fair of 1900, and evade an attempted assassination, all before succumbing to death by syphilis. Part Two provides an in-depth analysis of his neurological and psychiatric works, notably the eponymous neurological disorder that will forever remain "Tourette's Syndrome." Part Three looks at the lighter side of Georges, inspecting his favorite past-times as poet, historian, and art critic. Part Four brings an extensive bibliography of Georges' complete body of work.

Book Description

This book explores the life and fiction of the French decadent writer Rachilde (pen name of Marguerite Eymery), using her as a case study to examine the impact late nineteenth-century theories about female hysteria, medical hypnotism, mediums, and spiritualism had on the female creative psyche. It is a book about disempowerment, and re-empowerment through writing.
