Firstpublished in 1985, this title explores theories of leisure in acapitalist society. Basing his argument on a refutation of theconventional association of leisure with freedom and free time, ChrisRojek examines the four main structural characteristics of modernleisure practice: privatisation, individuation, commercialisation andpacification. The writings of Marx, Durkheim, Weber, and Freud are usedto locate the question of leisure in more mainstream social theory. Thisinteresting reissue will be of particular value to students ofsociology and leisure studies, and those with an interest in therelationship between leisure and power.
