The Witch in the Western Imagination
In an exciting new approach to witchcraft studies, The Witch in the Western Imagination examines the visual representation of witches in early modern Europe. With vibrant and lucid prose, Lyndal Roper moves away from the typical witchcraft studies on trials, beliefs, and communal dynamics and instead considers the witch as a symbolic and malleable figure through a broad sweep of topics and time periods. Employing a wide selection of archival, literary, and visual materials, Roper presents a series of thematic studies that range from the role of emotions in Renaissance culture to demonology as entertainment, and from witchcraft as female embodiment to the clash of cultures on the brink of the...

Hexen, Satan, Inquisition
Der zweite Band einer ‚Geschichte professioneller Kontrolle’ untersucht das frühneuzeitliche (16./17. Jahrhundert) Hexen-Problem als klerikal-juristische Konstruktion. In einer noch immer mental religiös geprägten Übergangszeit entsprach diese Hexen-Problematik den ersten Schritten einer weltlichen, städtisch wie frühabsolutistischen Ordnungspolitik, in der sich die ‚Kultur’ einer entstehenden Elite von derjenigen des Volkes zu scheiden begann. Eine Geschichte, die vom klerikalen Beginn im 14. Jahrhundert über die beiden Formen der ‚normal ländlichen’ Hexerei sowie der inquisitorischen Massen-Verfolgungen bis hin zu deren Ende im 18. Jahrhundert reicht.
Die reformatorische Bilderfrage in den schwäbischen Reichsstädten
English summary: The debate concerning the alleged abuse or rightful use of religious images was ignited during the Reformation. Using twelve case studies of Swabian imperial cities and communities in their rural hinterlands, Gudrun Litz examines the political, urban, official, theological and personal factors that influenced this problem and determined the solutions which were put into practice. She focuses on written sources, which consist mainly of unprinted material from city, church and private archives. In addition, of considerable importance is the material culture of those images which have been preserved, since the fate of those religious objects which were not destroyed during the ...
Multisensory Object Perception in the Primate Brain
It should come as no surprise to those interested in sensory processes that its research history is among the longest and richest of the many systematic efforts to understand how our bodies function. The continuing obsession with sensory systems is as much a re?ection of the fundamental need to understand how we experience the physical world as it is to understand how we become who we are based on those very experiences. The senses function as both portal and teacher, and their individual and collective properties have fascinated scientists and philosophers for millennia. In this context, the attention directed toward specifying their properties on a sense-by-sense basis that dominated senso...
Clinical Applied Psychophysiology
Although the injunction "Know thyself" was inscribed over the site of the Delphic Oracle, the concept is of much more ancient lineage. Thousands of years ago, the wise men of the East had learned to exert authority over a broad range of bodily experiences and functions using techniques that are still taught today. But it is only in the past few decades that the West has become aware once again of the range of control that the central nervous system can maintain over sensation and body function. Medicine has moved slowly in integrating these concepts into the classic medical model of disease despite a growing body of evidence that links emotional state, thought, and imagery to immunocompetenc...
