“…The notion that art tapped into an archaic stratum of the human psyche found in the primitive, the schizophrene, and the modern artist alike was intolerable for the Nazis. 65 Only a formalist conception of style, Schneider claimed, made it pos si ble to conflate genius and madness. Any distinctive criteria for real art were lost, and the creations of deranged minds could claim the title of art.…”

Commenting on Daniel Paul Schreber's Memoirs of My Ner vous Illness, Sigmund Freud observed that in publicizing the religious and apocalyptic visions he had experienced during his psychiatric ordeal, Schreber was acting "much as we are told that the prophets were." 1 This extraordinary statement-which found confirmation in Schreber's claim that his only goal in publishing his book was to "further knowledge of truth in a vital field, that of religion" 2 -draws our attention to the ambivalent role modern psychiatry assigned religious experiences. If the apocalyptic experience was a mental state common to the paranoid and the prophet, the psy chol ogy of religion and psychopathology were not simply comparable phenomena but were potentially one and the same. 3 If so, paranoia was nothing but religion I would like to thank the participants to the 2020-21 History Department Colloquium at the Eu ro pean University Institute for their questions and remarks on a first version of this paper. For their generous reading and thoughtful comments, I am very grateful to my colleague Corinna Unger and to Lavinia Maddaluno. At the JHI, Stefanos Geroulanos provided invaluable editorial advice, and two anonymous reviewers offered excellent suggestions. I am solely responsible for any remaining errors.

À l'époque où prennent place les Jeux olympiques de Berlin, la photographie est déjà solidement implantée dans la presse française, quotidienne comme hebdomadaire. Les premières expérimentations de reporters photographes, qui ont vu le jour dès la fin du XIX e siècle, ont laissé place à une systématisation de la pratique et du réseau de distribution : comme pour les dépêches et informations d'actualité, les journaux font appel à des agences 1 pour obtenir les photographies de dernière heure. Plusieurs quotidiens disposent de leur propre équipe de reporters photographes, dont la plus développée est sans doute celle de Paris-Soir 2 , tout comme les hebdomadaires illustrés, tel Vu, qui font appel à la fois aux agences et à des photographes indépendants (à l'instar de Germaine Krull ou d'André Kertész). Enfin, il n'est pas rare que les reporters de la presse écrite se fassent eux-mêmes photographes, grâce à la portabilité et à la maniabilité de la nouvelle génération d'appareils nés dans les années vingt, comme le Leica et le Rolleiflex.
