What does it mean to be ‘out of it’? How does being out of it create different relationships with our surrounds? How does being out of it change how we encounter the world? How is being out of it a strange form of cut-away presence? How are our worlds enlarged or diminished by experiences of being out of it? In this paper I offer some preliminary responses to these questions by outlining a new book project called ‘Out Of It’. Connecting a range of experiences of corporeal dispossession, including experiences of headache, brain fog, sunstroke, jet lag, and anxiety, I suggest that being ‘out of it’ offers a fascinating alternative way of thinking about key geographical ideas related to being out of place.
