This is the latest book on leisure from one of the leading figures
in the field of leisure studies. It makes a major contribution in
considering leisure as a primary aspect of cultural life. Rojek
treats modern culture as performative. That is, there are strong
pressures on us to keep busy, even if we are busy doing nothing.
Leisure is analysed as a status-placing activity. The implications
of the post-work thesis for leisure, the role of inequality in
leisure practice, are explored in interesting and novel ways.
Perhaps the most notable feature of the book is the discussion of
the abnormal forms of leisure and the attack on the medicalized
model of society. This book will be required reading for anyone
interested in leisure studies and cultural studies.
