摘要:For a prosopography of the Mesmerist movement. The “Harmonia Universalis” project. The authorspresent the project “Base de données Harmonia Universalis: pour une prosopographiede la Société de l’Harmonie Universelle (1783-1786)”, funded by the Labex-Hastec programme. The project aims to reconnect, by returning to the sources, thevarious viewpoints (psychiatric, scientific, medical, politico-social...) which historianshave applied to examine animal magnetism. A prosopography in the form of a database of the members of the Society of Harmony will constitute the nucleus of an internetsite dedicated to the doctrines and the practices introduced by Franz AntonMesmer and will lead to a network analysis of the mesmerist moviment. The first resultsconfirm the complexity of the vicissitudes of mesmerism and open new perspectiveson its role in French society on the eve of the Revolution.
