Description

Sensing the Everyday Dialogues from Austerity Greece is a thought-provoking ethnographic inquiry that explores social crisis through everyday life. Based on fieldwork experiences and observations, Constantina Nadia Seremetakis weaves together diverse topics to expose the fictioning of social reality.

The book proposes a new perspective on everyday life as a condition of im/possibility, shaped by fragmentary material forces. It delves into themes such as borders and bodies, history and death, language and affect, and the spatialization of trauma, offering a nuanced understanding of the complexities of social reality.

By juxtaposing reality with the irreal and the imaginal, Seremetakis's approach to ethnography challenges traditional notions of academic knowledge and public culture. This book is an important contribution to wider anthropological and philosophical debates, making it a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of social life.
