The digital turn in leisure has opened up a vast array of new
opportunities to play, learn, participate and be entertained -
opportunities that have transformed what we recognise as leisure.
This edited collection provides a significant contribution to our
changing understanding of digital leisure cultures, reflecting on
the socio-historical context within which the digital age emerged,
while engaging with new debates about the evolving and
controversial role of digital platforms in contemporary leisure
cultures. This book also demonstrates the interdisciplinary nature
of studying digital leisure cultures. To make sense of how
individuals and institutions use digital spaces it is necessary to
draw on history, science and technology, philosophy, cultural
studies, sociology and geography, as well as sport and leisure
studies. This important and timely study discusses both the promise
of the digital sphere as a realm of liberation, and the darker side
of the internet associated with control, surveillance, exclusion
and dehumanisation. Digital Leisure Cultures: Critical perspectives
is fascinating reading for any student or scholar of sociology,
sport and leisure studies, geography or media studies.
