SUMMARY:Céline Frigau Manning - Silencing the Body: Hypnosis\, Music\, and Pain in the 19th C.
DESCRIPTION:Heyman Center for the Humanities\, Second Floor Common Room \nSpeaker: Céline Frigau Manning\, Associate Professor\, University of Paris 8 – Institut Universitaire de France \nRespondent: Joelle M. Abi-Rached\, Lecturer in Middle Eastern\, South Asian\, and African Studies (MESAAS)\, Columbia University \nThis event is part of the series\, Explorations in the Medical Humanities. Please visit the Heyman Center website for more information. \nIn many 19th century narratives\, hypnosis was the treatment of last resort in order to tackle persistent pain and attain what René Leriche would subsequently call the “silence of the organs.” Faced with such an adversary\, hypnosis and music became part of a rhetoric of spectacle\, with public displays of insensibility to pain culminating in musical sequences\, or pain itself being used with music to create performative trance states. Though hypnosis has been the subject of a vast body of clinical investigation and historical scholarship\, the history of its relationship to music remains unwritten. This talk will explore various narratives of this interaction in an attempt to understand how experiments involving music and hypnosis influenced both doctors’ and patients’ moral understanding of bodies in pain. \nAbout the Series: \nAs a set of disciplines\, the humanities face the challenge of how to write about embodied experiences that resist easy verbal categorization such as illness\, pain\, and healing. The recent emergence of interdisciplinary frameworks such as narrative medicine goes some way to address these challenges. Yet conceptualizing a field of medical humanities also offers a broader umbrella under which to study the influence of medico-scientific ideas and practices on society.  Whether by incorporating material culture such as medical artefacts\, performing symptomatic readings of poems and novels\, or excavating the implicit medical assumptions underlying auditory cultures\, the approaches that emerge from a historiographical or interpretive framework are different from those coming from the physician’s black bag. \nSponsored by The Society of Fellows in the Humanities\, the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society\, and the Center for Science and Society.
