The burgeoning social scientific study of tourism has emphasized
the effects of the post-industrial economy on travel and place.
However, this volume takes some of these issues into a different
area of leisure: the spare-time carved out by people as part of
their everyday lives - time that is much more intimately juxtaposed
with the pressures and influences of work life, and which often
involves specific bodily practices associated with hobbies and
sports. An important focus of the book is the body as a site of
identity formation, experience, and disciplined recreation of the
self. Contributors examine the ways rituals, sports, and forms of
bodily transformation mediate between contemporary ideologies of
freedom, choice and self-control.
