Relational wellbeing: re-centring the politics of happiness, policy and the self
论文指出政策中个人主义的幸福观加剧了社会问题，基于赞比亚和印度的实证研究，提出以关系性本体论为基础的关系性福祉，强调关系性对社会变革和政治包容性的关键作用。
The ubiquity of references to happiness and wellbeing indicates widespread anxiety that all may not be well, reflecting the erosion of the social in late capitalist modernity. The paper finds that, rather than helping to solve this problem, individualist formulations of wellbeing in policy mimic or deepen the underlying pathology. Drawing on empirical research in Zambia and India, it advocates an alternative approach, relational wellbeing, which is grounded in a relational ontology that can challenge dominant ideologies of the self, places central the generative quality of relationality which is critical to societal change and engenders a socially inclusive political vision.
