The Labour of Leisure

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the paradox of leisure, Chris Rojek argues that what is traditionally seen as freedom and relaxation has transformed into a form of labor. He challenges the perception of weekends and vacations as mere time off, revealing how leisure activities often demand effort and commitment, thus blurring the lines between work and relaxation. Rojek's insights invite readers to reconsider the true nature of leisure in contemporary society.
