This book analyses the concept of community by critically exploring
its many manifestations in leisure. It unpacks patterns of
mutuality, collective expression, and belonging as they emerge
through interaction, shared narrative, and practice. Recognizing
that our experiences of "being in common" and "being in leisure"
require rethinking in a changed modernity, the book illustrates the
myriad ways that leisure communities take form and shape in the
current economic, political, and ideological moment. It highlights
how changing societal expectations, economic conditions,
technological innovations, and ideological shifts set the stage for
a reformulation of social relations and emergence of new
leisure-based social groupings. The authors question how to make
sense of new social expressions, at times offering unexpected and
completely new ways of theorizing community. Global in richness and
scope, the book offers a rich and composite view regarding how to
take up and theorize leisure in relation to the multiple dimensions
of community. It will inspire a new generation of readers in a
broad range of areas across the social sciences, including
sociology, community studies, leisure studies, and planning.
