DOING AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF "NON-EVENTS" -- NOTES -- REFERENCES -- INDEXIn this insightful and pathbreaking reflection on "doing nothing," Billy Ehn and Orvar Löfgren take us on a fascinating tour of what is happening when, to all appearances, absolutely nothing is happening. Sifting through a wide range of examples drawn from literature, published ethnographies, and firsthand research, they probe the unobserved moments in our daily lives-waiting for a bus, daydreaming by the window, performing a routine task-and illuminate these "empty" times as full of significance. Creative, insightful, and profound, The Secret World of Doing Nothing leads us to rethink the ordinary and find meaning in today's hypermodern reality.LeisurePhilosophyLeisurePsychological aspectsanthropologists.daily lives.daydreaming.doing nothing.empty times.enlightening.ethnographers.ethnography.everyday lives.examples.finding meaning.free time.hypermodern reality.imagination.insightful.literature.mental value.modern life.nonfiction account.quiet time.reflection.reflective time.research.rethink ordinary.routine tasks.slow down.thought provoking.time and space.time to self.unobserved moments.waiting time.while away time.LeisurePhilosophy.LeisurePsychological aspects.790.1Ehn Billy1946-1524410Löfgren Orvar145560MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784956503321The secret world of doing nothing3765236UNINA
