Subject: Realizing Something ...


I am interested in what happens when we we realize something.

You know, when something clicks, suddenly makes sense, when an
understanding is rearranged in our heads.

Maybe Heidegger is talking about something like this with regard to the
Augenblick; and maybe Heidegger acolytes like Foucault are talking about
this on a macro level when one episteme changes into another.

Also, Im interested in how technologies (and changes in technologies) lead
to (or enable) such "realizations" - inded, the technologies themselves may
actually *be* the realization itself.

Does anyone know of any work done in this or related areas, or of any
texts/works I should look at?

Much appreciated ...

B.
