Contemporary discourse on sustainability points to the need for
substantial, if not radical, shifts in relations between
productivity, environment, consumption and identities, in ways
which bring or restore balance to the intersecting domains. The
catchphrase of 'sustainability' has made its way into mainstream
discourse on the heels of the ongoing global financial crisis and
responses to global warming. The literature of leisure, sport and
particularly tourism are replete with fine examples of
'sustainability', contributing to full ecology planning approaches.
This book aims to stimulate debate and discussion within the
leisure studies community about the roles of 'alternative cultures'
in producing viable models of sustainable relations between work,
leisure and environment. Key elements of these discussions, such as
participatory democracy and deep ecology, have long been
characteristic of cultural configurations loosely called 'counter'
or 'alternative' to a voracious, hierarchical and unconscious
modernity. However the leisure studies community has largely
neglected their significance up until now. How are leisure,
sustainable livelihoods and 'alternative' cultures connected, and
what influence do they have? This book was originally published as
a special issue of Annals of Leisure Research.
