More about the book
Examining leisure in a capitalist society, the book challenges the traditional view that associates leisure with freedom. Chris Rojek analyzes four key characteristics of modern leisure: privatisation, individuation, commercialisation, and pacification. By referencing influential theorists like Marx, Durkheim, Weber, and Freud, the work situates the concept of leisure within broader social theory. This reissue is especially beneficial for sociology and leisure studies students, as well as anyone interested in the interplay between leisure and power dynamics.
