"Worldlessness"
 

Crary (18) refers to a "generalized condition of worldlessness"
 
in this, he draws from Arendt (who may be drawing the term from Heidegger)
 
Jessie Angeline Bustillos Morales, at the Journal of Civil Engineering, "In her book, The Human Condition Arendt (2018) sets out to make sense of ‘worldlessness or world-alienation’ (p. 54); the notion of worldlessness is a sense of displacement and atomisation where individuals have become separated from the modern world they inhabit and at risk of political absence."
