| Summary: | The thesis reconstructs the complex process of enunciation and denunciation of spirits in modernity in a particular historical context: the second half of XIX century in France and the foundational years of spiritism. Specifically, it addresses how its founder, Allan Kardec (pseudonym of Hyppolite León Rivail) employed a series of rhetoric moves to assemble the spirits as a scientific object. Building on this case, it offers us a critique to some enduring narratives of modernity like the secularization or the conflict between science and religion. Additionally, it poses the question of the ontology of scientific objects. |
