Vertiginous Life provides a theory of the intense temporal
disorientation brought about by life in crisis. In the whirlpool of
unforeseen social change, people experience confusion as to where
and when they belong on timelines of previously unquestioned pasts
and futures. Through individual stories from crisis Greece, this
book explores the everyday affects of vertigo: nausea, dizziness,
breathlessness, the sense of falling, and unknowingness of Self.
Being lost in time, caught in the spin-cycle of crisis, people
reflect on belonging to modern Europe, neoliberal promises of
accumulation, defeated futures, and the existential dilemmas of
life held captive in the uncanny elsewhen.
