In this provocative new book, Tony Blackshaw argues that Leisure
Studies is in a quiet but deep state of crisis. The twenty-first
century has brought profound change to all aspects of society,
including a plurality of new leisure worlds, and traditional
concepts of Leisure Studies fail to capture this richness. This
book aims to re-invigorate Leisure Studies by revealing and
unpacking these leisure worlds, thereby changing the way we think
about leisure and the way we do Leisure Studies. Both trivial and
serious in its implications, it is precisely this paradox that
makes leisure such a fascinating subject of study. Re-Imagining
Leisure Studies presents a new and radical set of methodological
rules for studying leisure trends and cultures in contemporary
society. It discusses the critical issues that underpin recent
developments in leisure theory and explores the key themes of
social class, community, politics, freedom and globalization.
Marking a turning point in the reception and understanding of
Leisure Studies, this book is vital reading for all students and
scholars with a social scientific interest in leisure.
