This landmark publication brings together some of the most
perceptive commentators of the present moment to explore core ideas
and cutting edge developments in the field of Leisure Studies. It
offers important new insights into the dynamics of the
transformation of leisure in contemporary societies, tracing the
emergent issues at stake in the discipline and examining Leisure
Studies' fundamental connections with cognate disciplines such as
Sociology, Cultural Studies, History, Sport Studies and Tourism.
This book contains original work from key scholars across the
globe, including those working outside the Leisure Studies
mainstream. It showcases the state of the art of contemporary
Leisure Studies, covering key topics and key thinkers from the
psychology of leisure to leisure policy, from Bourdieu to
Baudrillard, and suggests that leisure in the 21st century should
be understood as centring on a new 'Big Seven' (holidays, drink,
drugs, sex, gambling, TV and shopping). No other book has gone as
far in redefining the identity of the discipline of Leisure
Studies, or in suggesting how the substantive ideas of Leisure
Studies need to be rethought. The Routledge Handbook of Leisure
Studies should therefore be the intellectual guide of first choice
for all scholars, academics, researchers and students working in
this subject area.
