Surfing Life is a study of surfing and social change that also
provides insights into other experience-based contemporary
subcultures and the nature of the self and social formations in
contemporary society. Making use of extensive empirical material to
support innovative theoretical approaches to social change, this
book offers an analysis of the relationship between embodied
experience, culture and the economy. With its ground breaking
theoretical contributions, and its foundation in an ethnographic
study of surfing culture in locations across Australia, this volume
will appeal not only to those interested in the social and cultural
phenomenon of surfing, but also to anyone interested in the
sociology of sport and leisure, the sociology of culture and
consumption, risk-taking, subcultures and theories of contemporary
social change.
