- W2986214114 abstract "In 1996 Augusto Boal took a seat in the legislature in Rio de Janeiro running under thecurious platform, “The Courage to be Happy.” Happiness, for Boal, is both a personal and asocial task that is always difficult and involves making things better: more generous, moreethical, more just, more alive. It also involves holding in tension what in every private orpublic relationship are contradictory dynamics: those that generate and nourish, those thatviolate and tear down. “What would happiness be,” asks Adorno, “that was not measured bythe immeasurable grief at what is?” (cited in Cornell 1992: 17). This concept is neither sentimental nor nostalgic. Playwright David Hare writes about the challenge of trying toperform a tragic musical on Broadway. He says that much of America is plagued with afantasy of wish-fulfillment where artists are asked to tell people that everything turns outwell in the end, that no matter what is suffered, what is lost, “everything is all right really”(1991: 148). I am interested in the importance, even the ethics, of a courageous, tough kindof happiness that is based not in avoidance, but in contact with others and oneself. Is there arelationship between happiness, suffering, and the capacity to bear witness, to be present toboth the losses and the capabilities of others? This chapter looks at possibilities for witnessing generated by Boal’s work in the context of the pragmatic ethical philosophy ofEmmanuel Levinas, and asks what the notion of a courageous happiness might bring to theethics of witnessing a tragic world." @default.
