We are entering a new era of leisure. Quality rather than quantity
is now the focus of researchers, policymakers and managers.
Technological change, an ageing population and a harsh economic
climate are changing the values and practices of leisure, as well
as the relationship between leisure, society and the individual.
Contemporary Perspectives in Leisure uses a variety of disciplinary
approaches to introduce the most important trends in contemporary
leisure in the Twenty-First Century. With contributions from some
of the leading international figures in modern leisure studies, the
book examines key philosophical and theoretical debates around
leisure, with reference to concepts such as happiness, enjoyment
and quality of life, as well as the most interesting contemporary
themes in leisure studies, from youth leisure and 'dark' leisure to
technology and adventure. Understanding changes in leisure helps us
to better understand changes in wider society. Contemporary
Perspectives in Leisure is a perfect companion to any course in
leisure studies, and useful reading for any student or scholar
working in sociology, cultural studies, recreation, tourism, sport,
or social psychology.
