The requisite empathy for others, socially acceptable values and correct forms of self-presentation demand work. Much of this work is concentrated in non-work activity, compromising traditional connections between leisure and freedom. Ranging widely from an analysis of the inflated aspirations of the leisure society thesis to the culture of deception that permeates leisure choice, the author shows how leisure is inextricably linked to emotional labour and intelligence.LeisureSociological aspectsRecreationSociological aspectsLeisureSociological aspects.RecreationSociological aspects.306.4812Rojek Chris526901StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910778424203321The labour of leisure3816500UNINA
