Scholars in leisure studies have amassed an impressive record of
knowledge bearing on the social worlds of diverse serious pursuits,
yet this sphere of modern life still needs a coherent statement
about what social worlds consist of, what they do, and where they
fit in social theory. The core activities at the base of the
leisure experience are pursued within the social world that
encompasses such activity. To understand more fully why people are
attracted to and continue with a serious pursuit, we must also
understand its social world. This concept is anchored in social
theory and, in the domain of leisure, the serious leisure
perspective. The social world and its accompanying ethos are
centrally implicated as one of six distinctive qualities of the
serious pursuits. Taking inspiration from Anselm Strauss, this book
discusses the members of leisure social worlds and the activities
they enthusiastically pursue, as well as examining the culture and
communications of these worlds.
