7th Mesnographies

For its 7th edition, Mesnographies is launching its annual call for applications around the concept of happiness. What is happiness? Is it a goal, a state to be reached?  Does it lie within us, or do we build it over time?

« Happiness is a positive emotion which is experienced as being pleasant and sometimes activating. Amongst the so-called universal emotions, happiness is one of the most desirable. It does not only arise in response to doing or receiving something, but also from a sense of connection between people or a sense of wellbeing. »
(Department of Psychology, University of Oxford)
