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.
Alisha Siebers received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley and specializes in hypnotism in popular Victorian literature. An Assistant Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin, she has taught on Surrealist literature, anti-modern protests, and the representation of intellectuals in theater. Her recent publication, "Marie Corelli's Magnetizing Power," explores how the best-selling novelist shaped her authorial persona with her own theory of revitalizing trance. She is currently researching authors' responses to the late-Victorian debates about connections between insanity and genius.
