| Summary: | This research note outlines ideas and maps out the critical context of the author's current research project entitled 'It's More Fun in the Philippines: Positive Affects and the Post-Colonial Condition.' It also engages with recent literature from the expanding field of critical happiness studies. This project, envisioned to be a book-length study, explores the enabling as well as the obstructive capacities of so-called positive affects in imagining and realising an affirmative and sustainable cultural and socio-political practice within conditions of postcoloniality. In the process, it bridges several disciplines - in particular, Postcolonial Studies, Affect Theory, Critical/Cultural Theory and Gender Studies - and also aims to analyse a variegated body of philosophy, literature and cinema. © Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2017. |
