Vertiginous Life delves into the profound temporal disorientation experienced by individuals navigating life crises. Amidst the tumultuous swirl of unforeseen social transformations, individuals find themselves grappling with confusion, as they struggle to ascertain their place and timing within timelines that were once firmly established. This captivating book explores the everyday realities of vertigo, encompassing sensations such as nausea, dizziness, breathlessness, the overwhelming sense of falling, and an unsettling unfamiliarity with oneself. Within the context of crisis-ridden Greece, individual stories unfold, shedding light on the profound impact of vertigo on individuals' lives. It examines the intricate connections between being lost in time, entangled in the cyclical nature of crises, and the existential dilemmas that arise from questioning one's belonging to modern Europe, the allure of neoliberal promises of accumulation, the bleak prospects of defeated futures, and the profound uncertainties that accompany life confined within the enigmatic realm of the uncanny elsewhen. Through these narratives, Vertiginous Life offers a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities and challenges posed by navigating the turbulent waters of crisis-ridden existence.
