Description

Explore the complex relationship between economic structures and free time with Capitalism and Leisure Theory from the Routledge Revivals series. Originally published in 1985, this academic text offers a deep look into how leisure functions within a capitalist society. Rather than accepting the idea that leisure equals freedom, author Chris Rojek challenges conventional views by examining how modern leisure is shaped by four specific structural characteristics: privatisation, individuation, commercialisation, and pacification. By integrating the foundational ideas of Marx, Durkheim, Weber, and Freud, this book places the study of leisure directly into the center of mainstream social theory. It provides a necessary framework for understanding how our social structures dictate our personal downtime. This reissue is a valuable resource for students and researchers in sociology and leisure studies who want to understand the deeper social forces at work in contemporary life.
