First published in 1985, this title explores theories of leisure in
a capitalist society. Basing his argument on a refutation of the
conventional association of leisure with freedom and free time,
Chris Rojek examines the four main structural characteristics of
modern leisure practice: privatisation, individuation,
commercialisation and pacification. The writings of Marx, Durkheim,
Weber, and Freud are used to locate the question of leisure in more
mainstream social theory. This interesting reissue will be of
particular value to students of sociology and leisure studies, and
those with an interest in the relationship between leisure and
power.
