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. Fonde par Franz Anton Mesmer, le magnetisme animal est une pratique therapeutique ancree sur l’idee de l’existence d’un fluide universel present dans le cosmos mais aussi dans le corps humain, et dont le therapeute doit retablir la circulation pour restaurer la sante. D’emblee, cette conception investit d’autres domaines de la vie sociale, politique et culturelle. Elle agit comme un prisme de leurs recompositions en-deca et par-dela les revolutions, alors qu’elle evoluait et s’etendait de la France a l’Europe et au monde.
