Do Women Really Have Less Leisure Time Than Men?
The Fijian United Nations Development Programme, is considering looking at consigning a value to the time people use up on unsalaried work. The latest report revealed that women in Suva spend 58 hours a week on housework, contrasted to males who only spend 8 hours.
The report also said that women in the tropical island nation of Vanuatu, voted the Happiest Country On Earth in 2006, have 25 percent less leisure time than men. (Who is kidding who, in a male dominated community?)
UNDP Pacific Centre manager says “It’s important to provide separated out data about the different roles men and women play in the community, if the UNDP is to understand how a particular policy might impact differently on different genders”. Without this type of information, the Centre understands it would be unable to plan workable programs or policies.
The word is out that most people have 45 minutes more relaxation time daily, than was available 40 years ago. Half of that is used watching television (report numerous experts). The average person in a Western nation allocates 2.5 hours a day to the relaxing diversion of watching television.
This break down of an average person’s day to day routine was published in 2006 from an unknown source.

Then Harris Poll shared these results, in 2004, subsequent to a nationwide telephone survey:
· 35% of adults put reading top of their list.
· 21% would rather watch TV
· 20% liked to spend time with their family and friends
Harris Poll reported these three activities as having been placed at the head of the list every year since 1995. However, it is understood that technology such as the Internet clearly sways the use we make of leisure time.
There is one question that begs to be asked. How were these results arrived at and what is their ability to truly give an overall picture of life either in 2006 or 2009?
It certainly seems the more ‘time-saving-devices’ we are given, the less time we have to do the things we really want to do. Time is our most precious resource and must be used, protected, cared for and used wisely, just as we consider the expenditure of any of our other resources.

Decentring Leisure $40 This book explores the meaning of leisure in the context of key social formations of our time. Chris Rojek brings together the insights of feminsim, Marxism, Weber, Elias, Simmel, Nietzsche and Baudrillard to produce a survey - and rethinking - of leisure theory. At the same time he presents a radical critique of the traditional `centring' of leisure, on `escape', `freedom' and `choice'. He describes the relations between capitalism and leisure, the meaning of free time for workers in a capitalist system, and the gendered nature of leisure. He then discusses the social construction of leisure under modernity and the main competing arguments. Finally he examines postmodernity. Revealing how leisure practices have responded to living in a risk society, he shows that `free' time becomes something very different when simulation and nostalgia lie at the heart of everyday life. |

Serious Leisure: A Perspective for Our Time $42.67 "Serious Leisure" offers a comprehensive view and analysis of the current state of the sociology of leisure. Defining and differentiating the way people use their free time, Stebbins divides such activity into categories of serious, casual, and project-based leisure that he further separates into a variety of types and subtypes. Together they comprise what he calls "serious leisure."In this perspective, serious leisure constitutes systematic pursuit of an amateur, hobbyist, or volunteer activity sufficiently substantial and interesting in nature and requiring special skills, knowledge, and experience. Casual leisure, though immediately, intrinsically rewarding, is by contrast a relatively short-lived pleasurable activity, requiring little or no special training to enjoy it. Project-based leisure is a short-term, reasonably complicated, occasional creative undertaking carried out in free time. Stebbins sets out the basic concepts and propositions that make up the three forms, focusing on their essential elements. He takes stock of the serious leisure literature as well as that for casual and project-based leisure.Stebbins sees "serious leisure" realized by way of a set of foundational concepts--organization, community, history, lifestyle, and culture--and several of their component areas. He reviews the history and background of the concept of serious leisure and then adds historical commentary on, first, casual leisure and, then, project-based leisure. Finally, he examines the future and the importance of the serious leisure perspective in a globalizing world, and some of its critical links with other fields of knowledge and practice, notably the nonprofit sector and preventive medicine.Together with its original insights, "Serious Leisure" offers a single, handy, coherent, comprehensive resource. It will be of interest to sociologists, labor studies specialists, and economists. |

The Labour of Leisure $48 Leisure has always been associated with freedom, choice and flexibility. The week-end and vacations were celebrated as 'time off'. In his compelling new book, Chris Rojek turns this shibboleth on its head to demonstrate how leisure has become a form of labour. Modern men and women are required to be competent, relevant and credible, not only in the work place but with their mates, children, parents and communities. 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, Rojek shows how leisure is inextricably linked to emotional labour and intelligence. It is now a school for life.In challenging the orthodox understandings of freedom and free time, The Labour of Leisure sets out an indispensable new approach to the meaning of leisure. Chris Rojek is Professor of Sociology and Culture at Brunel University. In 2003 he was awarded the Allen V. Sapora Award for outstanding achievement in the field of leisure studies. |

Histories of Leisure $64.83 In the wake of the American and French revolutions, European culture saw the evolution of a new leisure regime never previously enjoyed. Now we speak of modern leisure societies, but the history of leisure, its experiences and expectations, its scope and variability, still remains largely a matter of conjecture. One message that has emerged from a multiplicity of disciplines is that research on leisure and consumption opens up a hitherto untapped mine of information on the broader issues of politics, society, culture and economics. How have leisure regimes in Europe evolved since the eighteenth century? Why has leisure culture crystallized around particular practices, sites and objects? Above all, what sorts of connections and meanings have been inscribed in leisure practices, and how might these be compared across time and space? This book is the first to provide an historical overview of modern leisure in a wide range of manifestations: travel, entertainment, sports, fashion, taste and much more. It will be essential reading for anyone wishing to know more about European history and culture or simply how people spent their free time before the age of television and the internet. Author: Koshar, Rudy/ Koshar, R. Series Title: Leisure, Consumption and Culture (Paperback) Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 352 Publication Date: 2002/04/01 Language: English Dimensions: 9.14 x 6.24 x 0.74 inches |
