Naturalism under the strain of Magnetism - Spirit Apparitions and Energetic Healing Practices

by Fanny Charrasse

Participant(s)  Fanny Charrasse

How do an engineer, a police commander and a quality manager quit their jobs to become magnetizers? To answer this question, Fanny Charrasse will look back on her investigation of magnetism in France. She will describe this practice, which implies the existence of energies and sometimes spirits, clarify the methodological problems that its understanding poses for sociology, and ask whether its current legitimization calls into question naturalism as the ontology of the “Moderns”.
