The happy adventures of capital

Simon Burnett

Chapter 1 in The Happiness Agenda, 2012, pp 15-45 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In order to form a valid assessment of the manner and extent to which happiness has emerged as a conspicuous lingua franca in present Anglo-American society, a robust philosophical framework must first be established. This chapter presents an interrogation and expansion of existing correlative theoretical perspectives, which, when conjoined, enable the analysis of the spread and dynamics of such mass-discursive, cultural phenomena. These academic antecessors include actor-network, rhizomatic and Foucauldian theories and, as their principal structure and expositional exemplar, Thrift’s seminal body of work on the global cultural circulation of capital (2005a).
