Focusing in particular on Sam Binkley\u2019s critical work on this psychological sub-discipline, we offer a political analysis of the new ways of becoming a subject it proposes. For Binkley, positive psychology operates as a subjectivising vector by promoting a specific kind of work on oneself. His approach, we suggest, rests on a conception that relies on the classical disjunction between production and effort, on the one hand, and consumption and satisfaction, on the other. With references to Foucault, Marx, Becker, and Schultz\u2019s conceptions of work and subjectivity, the article shows that positive psychology\u2019s novelty is to enable a new happy subjective perspective from where happiness, rather than a long-term objective, is considered to be a precondition of work, a radical new form of human capital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":465,"template":"","class_list":["post-347","publicacion","type-publicacion","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","area-capital-humano","area-capital-social","area-felicidad","area-gubernamentalidad-neoliberal","area-psicologia-positiva","area-subjetivacion"],"acf":[],"book_type_thumbnail":false,"autor":[{"ID":24,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2019-04-25 14:55:06","post_date_gmt":"2019-04-25 14:55:06","post_content":"<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miembro de las siguientes\u00a0 redes y asociaciones internacionales:\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International Society of Psychoanalysis and Philosophy,\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ISPP (<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sipp-ispp.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">http:\/\/www.sipp-ispp.org\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">);\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Popular psychology self-help cultures and the happiness industry\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/selfhelpculture.weebly.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/selfhelpculture.weebly.com\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">); <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International Consortium of Critical Theory<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Programs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (ICCTP) (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/criticaltheoryconsortium.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/criticaltheoryconsortium.org\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miembro del comit\u00e9 editorial de la revista oficial del ICCTP,\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Critical Times\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Duke University Press).<\/span>","post_title":"Rodrigo de la Fabi\u00e1n","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"rodrigo-de-la-fabian","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-07-19 15:06:59","post_modified_gmt":"2019-07-19 15:06:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":10,"guid":"https:\/\/saberespsi.udp.cl\/cms\/?page_id=24","menu_order":3,"post_type":"page","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"subtitle":"Theory & Psychology","ano":"2017","volume":"27(5), 600-621","issn":"","links":[{"name":"SAGE Journals","link":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/0959354317718970"}],"file":false,"collapsible":false,"publicaciones_relacionadas":"","cat_name":null,"css":"background:url('https:\/\/saberespsi.udp.cl\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/encabezado-026.jpg');","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saberespsi.udp.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publicacion\/347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saberespsi.udp.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publicacion"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saberespsi.udp.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publicacion"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saberespsi.udp.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saberespsi.udp.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
