The book is devoted to social and political interdependencies of
life and work, the interdependencies in which the ideas of loss and
deprivation are the founding incentives of the precariousness of
the position and the status of the human subject. Loss of property
in the economic sense, along with the loss of properties in
epistemological terms have become a crucial measure of precarity
through its dissociation from what Judith Butler calls "the
organization and protection of bodily needs." The book offers a
proposition of multidisciplinary reading of origins and
constructions of "anxiety of loss" as a constitutive trait of what
may be called the "economization" (or, after Jean-Pierre Dupuy,
"economystifacion") of human condition through various discursive
practices tying loss with lack, and in this way making the
uncertainty of possessing certain properties into a sphere of
politically controlled semi-ontological anxieties. The book also
reads loss in terms of topographical disorientation and the idea of
placelessness.
