Sumario:In these lines we will discuss about Sara Ahmed's latest book, The Promise of Happiness. A cultural criticism of the imperative of happiness, published by Caja Negra in 2019. In spite of having been written in 2010, this text seems extremely current because of how it problematizes a notion that has a lot of press in neoliberalism as happiness, but shedding light on its disciplining force. From a feminist and queer perspective, this British-Australian academic puts this apparently noble sentiment at the centre of the issue, but it ends up working as a duty to be.
