Providing an inclusive, yet multi- layered perspective on leisure
cultures in dynamic hegemonic, subcultural, and countercultural
communities, this volume investigates the disciplinary and
interdisciplinary aspects of leisure studies in the age of mass
migration, nationalism, cultural wars, and conflicted societies in
Israel. Israeli society has struggled with complicated
geopolitical, intercultural, economic, and security conditions
since the establishment of the State of Israel. Consequently, the
emergent leisure cultures in Israel are vibrant, diversified,
exuberant, and multifaceted, oscillating between Western and Middle
Eastern tendencies. The chapters in this edited volume reflect
dramatic influences of globalization on Israeli traditions, on one
hand, and emergent local practices that reflect a communal quest of
originality and authenticity, on the other hand. This book opens up
a critical perspective on the tension between contested leisure
cultures that are interconnected with spatial and temporal changes
and interchanges. Examining leisure as a part of social,
interethnic, physical, gendered, and sexual changes, the volume is
a key text for scholars and students interested in leisure culture,
Israeli society, education, cultural and media studies, and the
Middle East.
