More about the book
Examining the complex relationship between leisure and capitalism, the book challenges the traditional view of leisure as synonymous with freedom. Chris Rojek identifies four key characteristics of modern leisure: privatisation, individuation, commercialisation, and pacification. Drawing on the works of prominent theorists like Marx, Durkheim, Weber, and Freud, it situates leisure within broader social theories. This reissue is especially valuable for students of sociology and leisure studies, as well as those interested in leisure's interplay with power dynamics.
