About: Simon Ganneau

An Entity of Type: animal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Simon Ganneau (born circa 1805 in Lormes, died 14 March 1851 in Paris) was a French socialist, feminist, sculptor, and mystic. Like several other socialists of his time, Ganneau treated Christianity as a call for social reform. He was influenced by Barthélemy Prosper Enfantin and Saint-Simonian philosophy, particularly in viewing God as an androgynous or bisexual. Ganneau's writings treat androgyny not only as a move towards religious salvation, the final stage of humanity, but also as embodying the socialist concept on unity and balance in the world.

  • Simon Ganneau (* 1806; † 1851; auch Gannot oder Gannau), der sich selbst Mapah (= mater pater) nannte, war ein französischer Bildhauer. Er gründete 1838 eine religiös-mystische Sekte (Evadisme, aus Eva und Adam), die die Gleichberechtigung der Geschlechter lehrte. Alexander Herzen berichtet, Ganneau habe ihm selbst erzählt, dass seine Zusammenkunft mit Gott auf der Chaussee zwischen Montmartre und Paris stattgefunden hätte. Nach Aussage von Éliphas Lévi sah sich Ganneau als Reinkarnation von Louis XVII., seine Ehefrau als Marie-Antoinette. Sein Sohn Charles Simon Clermont-Ganneau wurde Orientalist. (de)

  • Simon Ganneau (born circa 1805 in Lormes, died 14 March 1851 in Paris) was a French socialist, feminist, sculptor, and mystic. Like several other socialists of his time, Ganneau treated Christianity as a call for social reform. He was influenced by Barthélemy Prosper Enfantin and Saint-Simonian philosophy, particularly in viewing God as an androgynous or bisexual. Ganneau's writings treat androgyny not only as a move towards religious salvation, the final stage of humanity, but also as embodying the socialist concept on unity and balance in the world. Adopting the title of the Mapah, a combination of mater and pater or maman and papa ("mother" and "father"), Ganneau presented himself as an androgynous prophet (with a beard and a woman's cloak) of a new religion called "Evadaism" (French: Evadaïsme) based on his ideas for "a redefined humanity, Evadam" (from Eve-Adam) and for a new era of female emancipation, gender equality and social justice. According to Éliphas Lévi, Ganneau also claimed to be the reincarnation of Louis XVII, and his wife claimed to be the reincarnation of Marie Antoinette. As a sculptor and a former phrenologist, he spread his ideas via pamphlets and plaster figurines, "of strange appearance, without doubt symbolically bisexual", both called "plasters". His garret studio apartment on the Île Saint-Louis in Paris functioned in the late 1830s as a salon for discussing his ideas, and he influenced many of the socialists and feminists of his time, including Alexandre Dumas, Alphonse Esquiros, Flora Tristan and Éliphas Lévi (Abbé Constant). Ganneau contributed to Tristan's 1844 collection The Worker's Union, as well as to an 1848 paper titled La Montagne de la Fraternité. Ganneau had a wife and child, who was five when Ganneau died in 1851, whom Théophile Gautier took under his wing: the Orientalist and archaeologist Charles Simon Clermont-Ganneau. (en)
