Pleasure praxis is a term coined by Oliver Vodeb in his book Food Democracy.

Pleasure praxis draws from the emancipatory potentials of the pharmacological aspects of everyday life where pleasure meets with conflict. This lecture will explain the concept of pleasure praxis and how it can be thought in relation to the idea of the "reflective city."
