URIBE BOTERO, Ángela. Phenomenology of damage: "bad air" and features of non-world for the inhabitants of el placer. discus.filos [online]. 2015, vol.16, n.26, pp.105-118. ISSN 0124-6127.  https://doi.org/10.17151/difil.2015.16.26.7.

The purpose of this article is to show how certain forms of victimization condemn those who suffer them to a sort of exile from the world and from reality. The case of the long paramilitary presence in the town El Placer (Putumayo, Colombia) is a good example of this. The use its survivors make of the words "bad air" and "the airs of death" neatly expresses the mentioned forms of exile. To accomplish this purpose, firstly, I appeal, to the term 'world' as used by Hannah Arendt and Edmund Husserl, and secondly, to the term 'reality' as used by Arendt and Somogy Varga. I conclude weaving a relationship between the terms "no-world", "loss of the sense of reality" and what in phenomenology is known as 'depersonalization'.

Palavras-chave : Arendt; harm; Husserl; depersonalization; world, no-world; reality.
