Drawing on Michel Foucault?s concept of heterotopia, Bingham provides a detailed and critical investigation of urban exploration as a form of leisure that is about the coming together of drifting performers who, in their celebration of ?rebellion? and ?deviance?, are determined to find a sense of meaning and belonging. The research considers the influence of consumer capitalism on urban explorers, and the wider social, economic and political context that shapes ideas of belonging and identity in the twenty-first century. By doing this, the book analyses urban exploration as an activity that has emerged in a time when human ideas about culture, individuality and community have transformed, and ?solid? modernity is gradually disintegrating around us. This multi and interdisciplinary work will appeal to people with an interest in ?abnormal? or ?deviant? leisure, as well as academics from sociology, anthropology, social geography, leisure studies, cultural studies, sport and recreation and tourism. 410 0$aLeisure Studies in a Global Era 606 $aRecreation$xSociological aspects 615 0$aRecreation$xSociological aspects. 676 $a306.48 700 $aBingham$b Kevin P.$0846242 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910426052003321 996 $aAn ethnography of urban exploration$91890270 997 $aUNINA
