They were questing to know the structure of the universe, and the concept of ectoplasm grew out of Victorian physics and cognitive sciences, not faith.

The Matter of Air: Science and Art of the Ethereal

Ectoplasmic phenomena are generic stuff of the spirit, not unique ghosts of dead souls. Ectoplasm did not haunt these believers: it offered a solution to the problem of imponderables, and embodied a postulated prima materia. The theories about psychology and spirituality in which the idea developed borrow heavily from both pagan oracles and Indian mysticism; Frederic Myers, who coined the word telepathy in and was a fervent researcher into psychic phenomena and upholder of the truth of materializing mediums, was a classical scholar with a deep interest in Hindu belief.

On touch The substance is mobile. At one moment it evolves slowly, rises, falls, wanders over the medium, her shoulders, her breast, her knees, with a creeping motion that recalls that of a reptile If the touch is ever so slightly harsh or prolonged, the medium evinces pain compared to that which a shock to the quick would produce.

The term pseudopod catches this relationship with the embryonic—and indeed with abortion. Darkness was essential for the phenomena to appear: light, almost everyone agreed, was highly destructive to their organism. William Crookes, the great Victorian experimental chemist, preferred moonlight, and reported excellent results by this pale illumination; Dr. Ghostly inhabitants of the other side, immaterial substances that informed the realm of the ether, impressed themselves onto the sensitive film of the here and now, through the lens of the medium seated inside her black box in a dark room.

Photography, as well as offering a deep metaphor for the relation between external matter and immaterial thought, also played an inestimable role in disseminating the mise-en-scene and the conduct of mediums from country to country. Eusapia Paladino, for example, an innovatory materializing medium of the late 19th century, was born near Bari in southern Italy, and was invited to France and England by eminent scientists keen to investigate her remarkable paranormal powers.

A contemporary and collaborator of hers, Stanislawa P. Sometimes wearing a blindfold, sometimes undressed, Eva C. In these volumes, his lurid commingling of female physical display, scientific language, and forensic, evidentiary process brings to a prurient culmination the labors of psychical investigators since the foundation of the Society for Psychical Research.

Bisson could be enrolled among the remarkable studio artists of the period, with her eerie sequences of intimate, indoor tableaux vivants. These two poles correspond to two classes of phenomena that were conflated under the term. Eminent men of science all over Europe and America joined in the quest for the immaterial in the 19th and 20th centuries, and ectoplasm enjoyed respectability for a long time to an extraordinary degree. A little later in the decade, Oliver Lodge, a pioneering physicist, joined the Sidgwicks, Myers, and others at a villa in the South of France belonging to Dr.

In the s, Margery Crandon caused a furor in Boston, where she was married to a society gynecologist.

Crandon, who performed under the name Psyche, surpassed her predecessors when she began to produce teleplasmic hands and heads, and even, most significantly, promised to deliver an ectoplasmic fetus. The very subject of ectoplasm now tends to provoke involuntary laughter, shivers, and on closer look, real horror; the documentary images of the mediums, often in considerable physical distress, strike us now as foolish, crazy, embarrassing, prurient, repellent.

Ethereality

The disparities in class, wealth, and education—and, above all, gender—between the researchers and the mediums remained shamefully ignored, it seems, at the time. Gallery view.
