Zusammenfassung
This chapter comprises a reading of Zinnie Harris’s 2015 play How to Hold Your Breath, focussing on its depiction of neoliberal self-development marketing and its portrayal of interpersonal relationships as transactions. This leads to a broader discussion of the politics of emotion and happiness as posited by Sara Ahmed, who examines happiness as an individual’s responsibility in the fashioning of a “portfolio life,” and of Karen Barad’s concepts of intra-action and agential realism in the context of the performance of ethics. Depicting humans as “mobile assets,” the play invites a discussion of how contemporary British theatre investigates the discourse of human capital in late capitalist self-improvement culture, where the responsibility for people’s well-being has been shifted away from society and towards the individual.
