This book provides a bottom-up contribution to contemporary
political and cultural theory, by presenting leisure activities as
a democratic arena. Where much of the existing literature on
leisure and play views participants as consumers, Kjolsrod presents
these people as producers, who conduct micro-processes of social
protection, become informed and skilled, and achieve influence via
complex leisure. Through an in-depth analysis of a range of leisure
practices, this book demonstrates where players belong in the
political landscapes of modern democracies. Leisure as Source of
Knowledge, Social Resilience and Public Commitment will be of
interest to students and scholars of leisure, recreational, and
cultural studies, as well as sociologists, anthropologists and
political scientists studying identity construction, emerging
social worlds, and novel channels of political participation in
contemporary society.
