Radical Happiness by Lynne Segal
Moments of Collective Joy
Arguing that happiness is a collective and political practice rather than a private goal, this book examines how neoliberalism and individualism have privatized joy and shows how shared moments—protests, music, dancing, gatherings, care and rituals—can be sources of resistance, healing and solidarity; drawing on feminist, queer and psychoanalytic perspectives, it explores embodiment, relational life and everyday practices of play and care as means to reclaim a public, transformative happiness that counters isolation, austerity and commodification.
