Publicación Cuando el cuerpo "piensa" la Felicidad: el papel de las prácticas y tecnologías felicitarias en la construcción de la subjetividad(Publicacions de la Universitat de València, 2009) Cabanas Díaz, EdgarDesde una perspectiva positivista de hacer historia se ha defendido la Felicidad como un conocimiento sustantivo, relativamente independiente del momento socio-histórico donde el mismo cobraría sentido, el cual se ha ido emancipando de la especulación filosófica y operativizándose con el uso del método científico. Contrario a esta idea, desde una perspectiva más constructivista, se haría énfasis tanto en aquellos «juegos de verdad» en los cuales la noción de Felicidad cobraría sentido, como en el carácter principalmente operatorio de la misma. Enmarcado dentro de esta segunda perspectiva, este trabajo defiende tres puntos principales: 1) que cualquier forma de representación de la Felicidad contribuye a la construcción de la subjetividad del individuo, 2) de cualquier representación sobre la Felicidad se derivan técnicas y prácticas destinadas a articular dicha construcción, y 3) toda representación sobre la Felicidad incluye pautas y moralejas de carácter ético y moral propias de cada cultura. Para defender dichos puntos, el trabajo presenta resumidamente la obra sobre la Felicidad del filósofo y médico ilustrado francés Julien Offray de La Mettrie, cuya visión sobre el tópico difiere completamente de la postura aquí defendida. Se señala también cierto paralelismo entre algunas ideas actuales sobre la Felicidad en el ámbito de la psicología y las propuestas defendidas por La Mettrie tres siglos atrás.Publicación Positive Psychology and the legitimation of individualism(SAGE Publications, 2018) Cabanas Díaz, EdgarPositive Psychology (PP) has been firmly institutionalized as a worldwide phenomenon, especially in the last decade. Its promise of well-being has captured many people’s longings for solutions in times of significant social uncertainty, instability, and insecurity. The field, nevertheless, has been severely criticized on multiple fronts. This article argues that positive psychology is characterized by a narrow sense of the social as well as by a strong individualistic bias that reflects the core beliefs of neoliberal ideology. In this regard, the present paper aims to illustrate the extent to which individualism is essential to understanding the theoretical and empirical foundations of PP’s conceptualization of happiness. Additionally, the paper questions whether positive psychology and its individualist conception of human well-being are not themselves contributing to sustain and create some of the dissatisfaction to which they promise a solution.Publicación La vida real en tiempos de la felicidad(Alianza, 2018) Pérez Álvarez, Marino; Sánchez González, José Carlos; Cabanas Díaz, EdgarPublicación Las raíces de la Psicología Positiva(2012) Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Sánchez González, José CarlosLa Psicología Positiva se apoya en un peculiar modelo de individuo desarrollado en la cultura popular estadounidense desde finales del s. XVIII. Este modelo, al que hemos llamado individualismo "positivo", arranca con el Trascendentalismo de Emerson y su defensa, contra el puritanismo, del individuo como una esencia capaz de autodeterminarse, autoconocerse y desarrollarse ilimitadamente, gracias a que forma parte de la Divinidad. A partir de aquí, nuevos movimientos más "prácticos", como el Nuevo Pensamiento, o el Pensamiento Positivo, enfatizaron, a través de cientos de manuales de autoayuda, el poder del pensamiento individual para imponerse a la materia y al mundo y curar directamente la enfermedad, atraer la riqueza y la salud y conseguir la felicidad. Enfoques alternativos, también genuinamente americanos, como el de John Dewey, criticaron en su momento ese modelo de individualidad y ofrecieron alternativas teóricas apoyadas en ciertos desarrollos del Funcionalismo y en una agenda política diferente. La Psicología Positiva hoy trata de distanciarse de los aspectos metafísicos más ostensibles del individualismo "positivo", pero mantiene aquella concepción ahistórica, asocial y subjetivista del individuoPublicación Becoming Positive Souls. Spirituality and Happiness from New Thought to Positive Psychology(Routledge, 2020) Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Sánchez-González, José CarlosContemporary therapeutic ethos is tightly associated with the culture and industry of happiness. Positive psychology, presented as a revolutionary, scientific, and universal―and therefore ultimate―understanding of what human happiness is and how it can be achieved, has played an essential role in this in the last two decades. Nevertheless, despite its popular and academic influence on a global scale, the field seems to have neither fulfilled its scientific ambitions nor offered something substantially new from its cultural and popular predecessors. On the contrary, the field should be seen as the latest and most influential manifestation of a North American spiritual tradition long convinced that happiness and misery, health and illness, are individual mind productions. In this regard, the purpose of this chapter is twofold. First, to raise epistemological concerns related to positive psychology’s presentation of old, spiritualistic, and ethnocentric ideas as new, scientific, and universal truths about human happiness. Second, to show the strong continuity of positive psychology’s assumptions and therapeutic techniques with New Thought metaphysics, a popular and religious movement that since the years of Phineas P. Quimby has been consecrated to bringing science and spirituality together in the understanding of human health and happiness.Publicación Travellers. Transformative Journeys and Emotional Contacts(Berghahn Books, 2019-06-06) Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Khan, Razak; Marjanen, Jani; Gammerl, Benno; Nielsen, Philipp; Margrit PernauPublicación Psychiatry as culture: Transforming childhood through ADHD(Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden, 2013) Shachak, Mattan; Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Cohen, María Ángeles; lllouz, Eva; Dellwing, Michael; Harbusch, MartinPublicación The Routledge International Handbook of Global Therapeutic Cultures(Routledge, 2020) Nehring, Daniel; Madsen, Ole Jacob; Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Mills, China; Kerrigan, DylanThe Routledge International Handbook of Global Therapeutic Cultures explores central lines of enquiry and seminal scholarship on therapeutic cultures, popular psychology, and the happiness industry. Bringing together studies of therapeutic cultures from sociology, anthropology, psychology, education, politics, law, history, social work, cultural studies, development studies, and American Indian studies, it adopts a consciously global focus, combining studies of the psychologisation of social life from across the world. Thematically organised, it offers historical accounts of the growing prominence of therapeutic discourses and practices in everyday life, before moving to consider the construction of self-identity in the context of the diffusion of therapeutic discourses in connection with the global spread of capitalism. With attention to the ways in which emotional language has brought new problematisations of the dichotomy between the normal and the pathological, as well as significant transformations of key institutions, such as work, family, education and religion, it examines emergent trends in therapeutic culture and explores the manner in which the advent of new therapeutic technologies, the political interest in happiness, and the radical privatisation and financialisation of social life converge to remake self-identities and modes of everyday experience. Finally, the book features the work of scholars who have foregrounded the historical and contemporary implication of psychotherapeutic practices in processes of globalisation and colonial and postcolonial modes of social organisation. Presenting agenda-setting research to encourage interdisciplinary and international dialogue and foster the development of a distinctive new field of social research, The Routledge International Handbook of Global Therapeutic Cultures will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in the advance of therapeutic discourses and practices in an increasingly psychologised society.Publicación Reseña de los libros "Smile or Die: How positive thinking fooled America and the world" y "La ciencia del bienestar: fundamentos de una Psicología Positiva"(Fundación Infancia y Aprendizaje, 2011) Cabanas Díaz, EdgarPublicación Experiencing designs and designing experiences: Emotions and theme parks from a symbolic interactionist perspective(Elsevier, 2020-06) Cabanas Díaz, EdgarThis paper aims to open a theoretical debate on the relationships between spatial design and emotional experiences in theme parks from a symbolic interactionist perspective. Whereas the interplay between emotions and space is fundamental to understanding the production and consumption of experiences at theme parks, this relationship has been insufficiently explored in theme park literature. The paper applies symbolic interactionism to comment on relevant topics in theme park literature such as atmosphere design, experience control, and visitors’ engagement. Against reductionist and determinist accounts of emotions, the paper emphasizes the indirect influence of atmospheres in visitors’ emotional responses, underscores the active role that guests play in the co-production of their own experiences, and stresses the significance of role-playing to understanding visitors’ engagement and immersion in the fantasies that theme parks manufacture for them. The paper also highlights the theoretical and empirical value of emotional narratives to better capture the mixed, complex, and situated experiences that visitors undergo vis à vis spatial designs at theme parks
