Palgrave Macmillan - The New Politics Of Leisure And Pleasure - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: This book explores the new politics of leisure and pleasure in relation to a range of popular activities. Current generations in Western societies are essentially recipients of the changes that the Sixties - fabled decade of sex drugs and rock n roll - left behind. In their leisure lives - whether drinking reading surfing the net taking drugs going to a comedy gig watching TV taking a holiday downloading music supporting a football club having a bet having sex or simply roaming the countryside - people seem to enjoy unprecedented freedoms. But what are these freedoms? How are they exercised? And to what extent have traditional controls been relinquished?
