Abstract
Abstract:
Aristotle, Augustine, and Heidegger describe the phenomenon of "suddenness." Interpreters of Greek tragedy such as Hölderlin and Jacob Bernays relate suddenness to the cathartic effect of tragedy—violent agitation of the psyche followed by a restoration of calm. Does shutter speed in photography produce a similar effect?
