‘Unheimlich’ The existential mode of the ‘not-at-home’

Valerie Wright-St Clair ‘Listening Together’ AUT University November 2008

As illuminated amid ‘Being Aged’ in the everyday The understandings rise up from the ordinary stories told by 15 New Zealand elders

Being aged is always already there. Concealed. Covered over in its ordinariness. Always present as Being-possible. Being aged announces itself amid the everyday.

There, between the what once was, the what is, and the what might yet be. Sometimes subtly, sometimes alarmingly uncomfortable.

The eventful not-at-homeness is a showing, thrusting being aged into being old. Amid the familiar, experiencing the uncomfortableness of the unaccustomed.

Heidegger (1927/1962) talks about the ‘canniness’ of being in the familiar everyday and the ‘uncanniness’ of experiencing the unfamiliar. He uses the German word “unheimlich” which literally translates as “unhomely” (King, 2001, p. 96).

In a mode of being characterised by uncanniness, or anxiety, the person is brought back from his or her absorption in the customary. “Everyday familiarity collapses….Being-in enters into the existential ‘mode’ of the ‘not-at-home’” (Heidegger, p. 233).

Thus, “if a person transfers an expression from one thing to the other, he has in mind something that is common to both” (Gadamer, 2004, p. 428).

Strangely enough, it is the ordinariness which holds the potential to illuminate a ‘not-at- homeness’ in the everyday (Heidegger, 1927/1962).
