Paperback. Condition: New. The cultural and scientific significance of animal magnetism as performance.The long nineteenth century bears the mark of Anton Mesmer. In a burgeoning media landscape, and in an emerging entertainment culture that fashioned growing numbers of people into audiences, the performative qualities of Mesmer's magnetic healing techniques came to define magnetism's cultural power. Shaped by many performers, magnetism flowed into other practices - mentalist, somnambulist, spiritist, hypnotist, mystical, magical and medical. Examining mesmerism as a socially and theatrically embedded phenomenon, Performing Magnetism shows that it was not merely a medical or pseudoscientific practice but a performative and culturally situated one.

Its interdisciplinary scope will engage readers interested in the cultural history of performance, media, and knowledge.…

Condition: gut. Spectacles of Light The Magic Lantern as Popular Entertainment, 1810-1930 In deutscher Sprache. pages.

Hardcover,72 pagina's, Illustrated. Text in English. 28x20cm. ISBN 9789490693442. The Borrowed Gaze/Variations GTB, a series of paintings created by Karin Hanssen, reappropriates the female Rückenfigur (back figure) of the famous work Paternal Admonition (1654) of Gerard ter Borch. Almost identical replications of ter Borch's paradigmatic image of a woman in a satin dress circulated on the market already in the 17th century. Today, in the era of technical reproduction and digital simulation, this practice acquires new relevance. By transferring the image to the here and now, and by producing new variations, the art of Karin Hanssen critically examines concepts of authorship and appropriation. Moreover, her extensive replication also fundamentally alters the status of ter Borch's image. The tension between old and new more specifically creates the background against which the iconic woman from the past truly comes alive, for the first time displaying the complexity of her individual identity. 0 g.…
