Céline Frigau Manning. Ce que la musique fait à l'hypnose: Une relation spectaculaire au XIXe siècle
Résumé
This book ventures into the still unexplored territories of the interactions between hypnosis, music and the medical sciences in the nineteenth century. It thus addresses central concerns of nineteenth-century cultures, while stimulating approaches to our own contemporary interrogations: how are we to deal with pain, for instance, when traditional medicine has failed? Can music, in certain conditions, allow one to overcome human limitations? And to what extent can a performance which brings together music with hypnosis stake a claim to aesthetic value?
