The meaning and purpose of leisure: Habermas and leisure at the end of modernity

Spracklen, Karl

65,30 €(IVA inc.)

This book uses the work of Jurgen Habermas to interrogate leisure as a meaningful, theoretical concept. Drawing on examples from sport, culture and tourism, and going beyond concerns about the grand project of leisure, Spracklen argues that leisure is central to understanding wider debates about identity, postmodernity and globalization.
