This paper explores existential dislocation and the future in a historical context, indicating a critical moment of uncertainty.
In the spirit of Loewald's synthesis of psychoanalysis and the entwined, temporal-spatial dimensions of being-in-the-world, this paper will explore our historical moment at the cusp of a precarious future. Indeed, we are at the cusp of a great battle for ownership of the future. Building on my previous work, "Falling out of the world", here we will explore existential dislocation, the uncanny, the loss of our taken-for-granted, everyday world - and the longing to find our way back home.
