Tables tournantes et parlantes, somnambules et médiums, fantômes et ectoplasmes ont captivé l'attention d'une fraction non négligeable de la communauté scientifique française au tournant du XXe siècle. Ces phénomènes bizarres pouvaient-ils s'expliquer par la physique, par la biologie, ou bien relevaient-ils de la psychopathologie ? Nombreux furent les savants qui tentèrent de les soumettre à la méthode expérimentale : Pierre et Marie Curie participèrent aux séances d'une célèbre médium, Camille Flammarion enquêta sur la télépathie, tandis que le prix Nobel de physiologie Charles Richet proclama sa croyance aux fantômes et fonda une nouvelle science, la « métapsychique ». Puis, après cette période d'engouement pour les phénomènes occultes, dans les années 1930, en dépit (ou à cause) d'une radiesthésie aux ambitions scientifiques, toute forme d'occulte fut bannie du champ scientifique et renvoyée vers les « para-sciences ». Les neuf récits d'épisodes marquants de cette période réunis dans cet ouvrage se lisent comme autant de reportages inattendus et passionnants. Et au-delà, les historiens des sciences et de la culture qui ont contribué à ce livre apportent des explications troublantes à ce double mouvement d'ouverture puis de fermeture de la communauté scientifique française, dont les effets se font sentir jusqu'à nos jours.

This study in history of ideas looks at the hitherto unstudied subject matter of adaptations of the medieval gnostic movement known as Bogomilism to the needs of modern and postmodern discourses of Bulgarian identity. A wide range of texts of Bulgarian culture relevant for the revitalisation of Bogomilism is analysed, from the first works of writers of the national revival movement, to school textbooks, journalism, essays, fine literature, and esoteric books of the turn of the 20th century. The result is the establishment of connections between different strategies of mythologizing Bogomilism in modern Bulgarian culture and the projects of modernitas preferred by their (often mutually conflicted) authors.

"The Scientific Revolution saw the redefinition of many scholastic notions about the nature of the world and its constituent parts, from planets to particles. Wang's book introduces a convincing and wide-ranging narrative of the changing place of 'occult qualities' in the context of emergent new scientific methods and early modern disciplinary realignments. Through in-depth analysis of the diverse treatments of this notion, whereby it becomes now a hollow phrase, now a touchstone for the superiority of new physics, Wang shows how the transmission of this notion is key to understanding almost every facet of the new physics of the age"--
