FROM HAVING AN EXISTENTIAL PLACE TO LIVE IN THE WORLD TO LOSING IT: A CASE STUDY

Summary/Abstract: The subject of attention in the article is the problem related to: having, seekingand/or losing one’s place in the world. There are many indications that it is gaining importancetoday, perhaps due to the trans-formations accompanying postmodernity. To better understand thisphenomenon, the article presents the results of a case study of a man who is now middle-aged. Inconsidering his situation, however, the focus was on the earlier stages of his life: from his childhoodthrough his teenage years and into early adulthood, in which he experienced existential homeless-ness. His case analysis focused on his experiences during these different stages of his life and how he tried to address them. Biographical sociology and phenomenological sociology were sources ofinspiration for the analysis.
