While research and technology find new ways to measure contentment and popular culture encourages us to think of happiness as a human right, misery is abundant.

Summary:
In an era of increasing individualism, we have never been more isolated and dispirited. A paradox confronts us. While research and technology find new ways to measure contentment and popular culture encourages us to think of happiness as a human right, misery is abundant. Segal believes we have lost the art of “radical happiness”—the liberation that comes with transformative, collective joy. She argues that instead of obsessing about our own well-being we should seek fulfilment in the lives of others. Examining her own experience in the women’s movement, Segal looks at the relationship between love and sex, and the scope for utopian thinking as a means to a better future. She also shows how the gaps in care that come from the diminishing role of the welfare state must be replaced by alternative ways of living together and looking after one another.

'Alter Architecture Research Collective' (AARC) is an interdisciplinary group of thinkers and practitioners that come together to observe, question and distort existing strategies of cultural and spatial production. Understanding architecture as appropriation, production and organization of space, mostly governed centrally by economic logics that work to entrap subjectivity, AARC seeks to inhabit and distort these mechanism. Where counter-strategies imply simply opposition, alteration opens space for multiplicities and difference.
