520 1 $a"This book, written by one of the leading commentators in the field, clarifies the relationship between culture and leisure. It considers the 'post-work' thesis and questions if, in performative cultures, more free time will lead to greater personal happiness and social harmony. Class and status inequalities will remain in the leisure society. The hopes being nurtured for the post-work nirvana mistake the globalized character of contemporary capital, communication and information flows. The weakening power of nation-states in the world economy reduces national leisure policy as a compelling category of social intervention."--Jacket.
520 8 $a"This book breaks new ground in distinguishing 'abnormal leisure' as a proper category of study. It identifies 'invasive', 'mephitic' and 'wild' forms of leisure which challenge both traditional readings of leisure and radical alternatives. The book is sure to generate discussion. It recognizes the central place of leisure in the study of culture and it maps out new terrains of study in our 'free' time."--Jacket.
