C. Rojek – författare

Modern life is often described as an iron cage from which there is no escape. But popular culture venerates leisure and travel as authentic escape routes from routine and monotony. However, what kind of escape is tolerated in modern society? How is it shaped by historical expectations of leisure and travel? And what do we actually experience when we engage in leisure or travel activity? This book tries to supply answers to these questions.

This is the latest book on leisure from one of the leading figures in the field of leisure studies. The implications of the post-work thesis for leisure, the role of inequality in leisure practice, are explored in interesting and novel ways. This book will be required reading for anyone interested in leisure studies and cultural studies.
