Slought Foundation, a non-profit organization rethinking contemporary art, presents "Animal Magnetism and After: A Symposium." This one-day event on Saturday April 3rd, 2004, from 1:30 pm-4:30 pm, will address the history of Mesmerism in l8th, l9th, and 20th-century literature, political and social philosophy, medicine, and dynamic psychotherapy.
Jeremy Stolow is an assistant professor of communication studies and sociology at McMaster University, Canada, and also a research fellow at the Center for Religion and Media at New York University. He was previously a post-doctoral fellow and affiliated lecturer at the University of Cambridge. His area of research and teaching is religion, media and social theory, and he has published articles in such journals as "Theory, Culture and Society", "Utopian Studies" and "Topia", as well as chapters in edited books. He is currently working on a book-length manuscript on Jewish Orthodox outreach literature, religious consumerism and the politics of cultural literacy. His second research project concerns the spread of Spiritism and Spiritualism across the Atlantic world in the 19th century, its relation to emergent technologies of mediated communication, and more broadly, the constitution of the 'electric imaginary' in religious, technoscientific and medical discourses of the 19th century.
