How do we experience our fears?

Our fears seize us even before we understand them. They express themselves in our bodies, altering our perceptions and influencing our decisions. But what actually happens when we're afraid? How does this emotion, both intimate and universal, form, spread and sometimes transform us?

In this lecture, Emmanuelle Sarzi-Campillo invites us to explore the multiple dimensions of fear: neurobiological, psychological and social. At the crossroads of neuroscience and the humanities, she examines how we experience our fears - how they are born in the body, anchored in memory, play a part in our relationship with the world, and are passed on.

A lively, accessible reflection on a fundamental emotion that reveals both our fragility and our ability to adapt.
