Fear and Horror
- conference
-
meditation
Fear means stress for humans: pupils dilate, heart rate and blood pressure increase, breathing becomes shallow, the amygdala works at full speed, and adrenaline is released into the body. Everything prepares the body either to fight or to flee. The frightening situation needs to be avoided, but it seems that humans enjoy frightening themselves. People gather to scare each other, tell scary stories, visit haunted houses, watch horror movies, or play creepy games. In this interactive workshop, we will collectively explore why what repels us also attracts us, focusing on the phenomenology and aesthetics of horror. Erik Eschmann, a philosophy PhD holder, regularly leads philosophy workshops at EwB. Furthermore, he hosts the monthly Philo-Café with Nora Schleich at Le Bovary. Project Sapere Aude 2.0, supported by the National Fund.
