Animal Magnetism in Motion / Le magnétisme animal en mouvement

Founded by Franz Anton Mesmer, animal magnetism is a therapeutic practice rooted in the idea of the existence of a universal fluid, present not only in the cosmos but also in the human body, whose circulation the therapist must restore in order to restore health. From the beginning, this conception permeated other areas of social, political and cultural life. It acted as a prism for their recomposition, both before and after the revolutions, when it evolved itself and spread from France to Europe and the World.
Fondé par Franz Anton Mesmer, le magnétisme animal est une pratique thérapeutique ancrée sur l'idée de l'existence d'un fluide universel présent in the cosmos but also in the human body, and of which the therapist must establish the circulation to restore health. However, this concept invests in other areas of social, political and cultural life. It acted as a prism of its recompositions during and after the revolutions, as it evolved and moved from France to Europe and the rest of the world.
