Abstract
The essay discusses a crucial notion in the modern biopolitical welfare state: that good health is beneficiary both for the individual and for society at large. It compares and juxtaposes this hegemonic idea to literary works by the Danish authors, Dorrit Willumsen and Lars Skinnebach, who in various ways articulate dissent from this notion. Special attention is given to the topic of healthy ageing and longevity.
