I don’t have any particularly happy news or anything to celebrate, but I want to celebrate. I read about collective effervescence this evening—a term coined by Emile Durkheim in 1912. The 1920s were a time of collective effervescence. How can you not be happy doing the Charleston or playing badminton?
Collective effervescence “describe the sense of energy and harmony people feel when they come together in a group around a shared purpose.” Quote from New York Times There’s a Specific Kind of Joy We’ve Been Missing, Adam Grant 2010.
I’ve been thinking of events that might qualify as collective effervescence, dancing, movies, singing, fitness classes, sporting events, book clubs, restaurants, religious events, PPals/HKS.
What about collective effervescence in small groups? A good conversation, intimacy with a partner. Others?
I’m presenting tomorrow at the first time slot. 🙀 Get it done I guess.
I hope your Friday is magical. Come effervesce with me or pretend. 🧚♀️🛼
PPals/HKS Friday October 9 🥳🙌🪩🎶🎺🧘🏼♀️🍦
