The Life and Death of Emotional Fads
Disorientation as an Emotional Experience
Disorientation is a versatile, multidisciplinary concept. Whether associated with its spatial meaning or its non-spatial, more metaphorical sense, various disciplines have used disorientation to describe a broad range of philosophical, cultural, and social phenomena in the last decades. However, the focus on the concept from an emotional perspective remains scarce. To expand the current investigation on the topic, the present paper attempts a fir…
A critical review of positive education
Varieties of Happiness
Research on lay conceptions of happiness is essential to determine what is investigated in happiness studies. Whereas psychological investigation has traditionally emphasized the importance of studying people's everyday conceptions and their relation to cultural and social factors to advance psychological theory, this line of research is still largely overlooked in the field. The Spanish context has also received very limited attention in the are…

“Psytizens”, or the construction of happy individuals in neoliberal societies
Happiness has become part of a commonsensical discourse through which the neoliberal ideology of individualism is rekindled, legitimized, and institutionalized in seemingly non-ideological terms through the discourse of science. The academic fields of positive psychology and happiness economics are two of the authoritative sources which have most contributed to the diffusion and institutionalization of happiness in the fields of psychology, educa…
Rekindling individualism, consuming emotions
Happiness has become a new moral regime in neoliberal societies that defines what is right and wrong and stresses the insource of responsibility. More importantly, happiness stands out as a new model of selfhood that aligns with the neoliberal ideology of individualism and consumerism at the same time that legitimizes and rekindles this same ideology in seemingly nonideological terms through the discourse of science. The paper claims that this mo…
