This book explores the enigmatic world of the natural underground,
viewing it as a site of leisure and of 'anthropotechnics', where
human beings and technology are interconnected. It also reshapes
the old language of caving into new ideas that broaden the
possibilities of the sociology of caving. After outlining a novel
methodological approach that can be used to understand new leisure
trends and cultures in present modernity, Exploring the Natural
Underground offers a comprehensive investigation of the societal
context in which caving takes place. Thereafter it goes on to argue
that the natural underground can be used as a means of escaping
some of the unavoidable influences of consumer capitalism in the
way that it stimulates imaginations, senses and emotions
differently. Marking a turning point in the way that the natural
underground is understood, and the degree to which sensory
dimensions of leisure are valued, this book will appeal to anybody
interested in caving, as well as scholars and students of leisure
studies, the sociology of leisure, the ethnography of leisure, and
human geography.
