"The Malleus Maleficarum (Latin for 'The Hammer of Witches,' or 'Hexenhammer' in German) is one of the most famous medieval treatises on witches. It was written in 1486 by Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger, and was first published in Germany in 1487. Its main purpose was to challenge all arguments against the existence of witchcraft and to instruct magistrates on how to identify, interrogate and convict witches."

"Best known for his elaborately choreographed, large-scale photographs . . . the images that comprise Crewdson's . . . series take place in the homes, streets, and forests of unnamed small towns. The photographs portray emotionally charged moments of seemingly ordinary individuals caught in ambiguous and often disquieting circumstances. Both epic in scale and intimate in scope, these visually breathtaking photographs blur the distinctions between cinema and photography, reality and fantasy, what has happened and what is to come."

"
In formulating the concept of grande hystérie, Charcot noted its three stages—lethargy, catalepsy, and finally somnambulism—and associated them with specific physical attitudes and gestures. His linking of illness and image became so firmly entrenched that many patients caught the suggestion and began to perform according to his expectations. As a reward, they were frequently photographed, elevated to a kind of star status, and thereby participated in an extraordinary way within the relationships of power in the closed world of the clinic.
