Acknowledging that the challenge facing social science is how to
inject some order into the common-sense notion of leisure
lifestyles, this book, written by a major player in the field of
leisure, considers how to turn the study of both serious and casual
leisure into a useful concept for guiding research. Developing the
common-sense notion that leisure lifestyles have time and space
dimensions, Stebbins delves into distinctive leisure lifestyles
which occur around particular free-time activities such as the
serious ones where participants must routinely train, practice,
rehearse, gather information, and those that are casual such as
bingo, lunches with colleagues, and outings of small walking
groups. Demonstrating the nuances of each, and analysing how
serious activities are structured along the lines of the social
world in which every lifestyle is embedded, this book
revolutionises the idea of leisure lifestyle, turning it into a
workable concept for guiding research, while also enriching our
understanding of what it means. Striving to meet the test of a
critical challenge in the field, this book is a refreshing new
addition to the work on leisure, from a highly-respected and
established scholar.
