De horrorparadox; waarom we angst opzoeken (special op Nacht van Ontdekkingen in Leiden)

Tijdens De Nacht van Ontdekkingen in Leiden onderzoekt presentator Sander Nieuwenhuijsen met stresswetenschapper Laura Nawijn (https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/staffmembers/laura-nawijn#tab-1) en literatuurhistoricus Evert van Leeuwen (https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/staffmembers/evert-jan-van-leeuwen#tab-1) en het publiek de fascinerende horrorparadox: waarom zoeken we angst op, terwijl we het tegelijkertijd willen vermijden? In een speciaal gebouwd spookhuis werden bezoekers blootgesteld aan klassieke angstmomenten – van duistere geluiden tot onverwachte luchtstoten – en werden hun reacties gemeten. “Je lichaam reageert op horror zoals op verliefdheid of bungeejumpen.” Van Leeuwen reflecteert daarbij op horror in fictie en literatuur. “Jonge lezers zoeken in dystopische horror niet alleen gruwel, maar ook schoonheid en zingeving.” Samen onderzoeken ze hoe angst werkt – fysiek, emotioneel en cultureel – en wat we kunnen leren van hoe mensen reageren op gecontroleerde spanning. 🎧 Luister nu naar deze aflevering van Focus, opgenomen voor live publiek in het Groot Auditorium in Leiden. 📷 Volg ons op Instagram en TikTok voor video’s van de podcast en het laatste wetenschapsnieuws: @ntrwetenschap ✉️ Vragen of opmerkingen?
