While the existing criminological wisdom suggests that these practices are a form of politicised resistance, this book positions parkour and freerunning as hyper-conformist to the underlying values of consumer capitalism and explains how late-capitalism has created a contradiction for itself in which it must stoke desire for these lifestyle practices whilst also excluding their free practice from central urban spaces. Drawing on the emergent deviant leisure perspective, this book takes us into the life-worlds of young people who are attempting to navigate the challenges and anxieties of early adulthood. For the young people in this study, consumer capitalism's commodification of rebellious iconography offered unique identities of 'cool individualism' and opportunities for flexibilised employment; while the post-industrial 'creative city' attempted to harness parkour's practice, prohibitively if necessary, into approved spatial contexts under the buzzwords of 'culture' and 'creativity'. This book offers a vital contribution to the criminological literature on spatial transgression, and in doing so, engages in a critical reappraisal of the evolution of the relationships between work, leisure, identity and urban space in consumer capitalism. 606 $aParkour 606 $aSports & Recreation$xSociology of Sports$2bisacsh 606 $aSociology: sport & leisure$2bicssc 615 0$aParkour. 615 7$aSports & Recreation$xSociology of Sports. 615 7$aSociology: sport & leisure. 676 $a796.046 700 $aRaymen$b Thomas$01710865 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820280503321 996 $aParkour, deviance and leisure in the late-capitalist city$94101791 997 $aUNINA
