Le retour du monde magique <\/p>\n Introduction to the discussion by Orso Roger<\/a> and Lauranne Chaignon<\/a><\/p>\n Back cover<\/em>: Comment un commandant de police, une responsable qualit\u00e9 et un \u00e9ducateur sportif en viennent-ils \u00e0 quitter leur emploi pour devenir magn\u00e9tiseurs ? Pourquoi le magn\u00e9tisme, assimil\u00e9 \u00e0 une \u00ab\u00a0vieille erreur\u00a0\u00bb par les scientifiques d\u00e9sign\u00e9s par Louis XVI pour en faire l\u2019examen \u00e0 la veille de la R\u00e9volution, est-il de mieux en mieux tol\u00e9r\u00e9 aujourd\u2019hui ? L\u2019ambition de ce livre est de comprendre et d\u2019expliquer sociologiquement ce ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne. Pour ce faire, il pr\u00e9sente les histoires de vie de personnes devenues magn\u00e9tiseuses. Il d\u00e9crit concr\u00e8tement leur pratique qui mobilise de l\u2019\u00e9nergie et parfois des esprits. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une plong\u00e9e dans cinquante ans d\u2019archives, il revient ensuite sur les poursuites qu\u2019ont subies les magn\u00e9tiseurs jusque dans les ann\u00e9es 1980 pour exercice ill\u00e9gal de la m\u00e9decine, et sur la fa\u00e7on dont ils y ont r\u00e9pondu. Enfin, \u00e0 travers des entretiens avec des m\u00e9decins, des membres du minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9 et des observations en oncologie-radioth\u00e9rapie, il analyse la place que tient aujourd\u2019hui le magn\u00e9tisme dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 fran\u00e7aise. What makes a police commander, a quality manager and a sports instructor quit their jobs to become magnetizers? Why is magnetism, considered an “old fallacy” by the scientists commissioned by Louis XVI to study it on the eve of the French Revolution, increasingly tolerated today? This book aims to understand and explain this phenomenon from a sociological point of view. For this purpose, it presents the life stories of people who have become magnetizers. It describes in concrete terms their practice of mobilizing energy and sometimes spirits. Delving into fifty years of archives, it then retraces the prosecution magnetizers faced up until the 1980s for the illegal practice of medicine, and how they responded. Finally, through interviews with medical practitioners, members of the Ministry of Health and observations in oncology-radiotherapy, it provides an analysis of the place currently held by magnetism in French society. <\/em> Fanny Charrasse<\/strong>, <\/em>Le retour du monde magique.

\nRevenant sur une autre enqu\u00eate, r\u00e9alis\u00e9e aupr\u00e8s de chamanes de la c\u00f4te nord p\u00e9ruvienne, la fin de l\u2019ouvrage montre que s\u2019int\u00e9resser \u00e0 des pratiques magiques suppose d\u2019\u00e9tudier leur conversion (partielle) au \u00ab\u00a0naturalisme\u00a0\u00bb, cette ontologie des \u00ab\u00a0Modernes\u00a0\u00bb dont l\u2019av\u00e8nement a donn\u00e9 lieu \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9mergence de l\u2019opposition entre la nature et la culture. Cela oblige \u00e0 en d\u00e9crire la m\u00e9tamorphose : la mani\u00e8re dont le naturalisme est en train de devenir plus \u00ab\u00a0r\u00e9flexif \u00ab\u00a0, c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire conscient de lui-m\u00eame et ouvert \u00e0 d\u2019autres ontologies.<\/p>\n
\nThe final section of the book, based on another survey of shamans on the Peruvian North Coast, shows that taking an interest in magical practices presupposes to study their (partial) conversion to “naturalism”, an ontology of the “Moderns” whose advent gave rise to the emergence of the nature vs. culture opposition. This involves describing its metamorphosis: how naturalism is becoming more “reflexive”, that is self-aware and open to other ontologies.<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i3.cnrs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Miniature-i3_Seminaire-invites-du-CSI-450x335.jpg\")
