Mesmerized!
Organized at University of Warwick from 5 to 12 May 2017, Mesmerized! is a series of events that takes the practice of mesmerism as its point of departure, to explore themes of deception, belief, and enchantment. The events will bring together Warwick researchers interested in these themes, providing many opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange.
