Description
This book explores the meaning of leisure in the context of key social formations of our time. Chris Rojek brings together the insights of feminsim, Marxism, Weber, Elias, Simmel, Nietzsche and Baudrillard to produce a survey - and rethinking - of leisure theory. At the same time he presents a radical critique of the traditional centring of leisure, on escape, freedom and choice.
Revealing how leisure practices have responded to living in a risk society, he shows that free time becomes something very different when simulation and nostalgia lie at the heart of everyday life.
