O knihe

This volume offers eight studies on different historical and present-day aspects
of leisure in Asia. It critically engages with the predominant Eurocentric focus of
leisure studies, bringing into the discussion a number of crucial issues such as the
role of leisure as a transcultural contact zone. The volume engages with a field
that has been rapidly growing due to the heightened role of leisure activities in
defining a person's identity, the fading of the work/leisure divide in the
post-industrial age, and the increasing economic importance of leisure pursuits such
as tourism. Bringing Asia into the discussion contributes in resetting the study of
leisure into a truly global context.
