Description

Description from SUDOC — French university and research library union catalog (opens in a new tab)

Situé à la croisée de l'histoire et de l'anthropologie, Surnaturelles s'intéresse au destin des femmes médiums qui, depuis la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, ont contribué à la naissance du spiritisme. Richement illustré par des photographies et des documents rares, l'ouvrage de Philippe Baudouin explore la culture visuelle de ce mouvement né en Amérique du Nord en 1848, à travers notamment la question du corps et du genre, mais également celle de notre propre rapport aux croyances et à l'irrationnel. S'appuyant sur une sélection d'archives inexplorées, il porte ainsi un regard neuf sur l'oeuvre de ces femmes qui, avant de devenir les cobayes de scientifiques au début du XXe siècle, furent tour à tour maîtresses de cérémonie, messagères de l'au-delà et visionnaires d'utopies
