| dc.description.abstract | This volume offers eight studies on different historical and present-day aspects of leisure in Asia. It critically engages with the predominant Eurocentric focus of leisure studies, bringing into the discussion a number of crucial issues such as the role of leisure as a transcultural contact zone. The volume engages with a field that has been rapidly growing due to the heightened role of leisure activities in defining a person’s identity, the fading of the work/leisure divide in the post-industrial age, and the increasing economic importance of leisure pursuits such as tourism. Bringing Asia into the discussion contributes in resetting the study of leisure into a truly global context. Abstract in other languages | |

| oapen.abstract.otherlanguage | Dieser Band vereint acht Studien zu verschiedenen historischen und aktuellen Aspekten von Freizeit in Asien. Er setzt sich kritisch mit dem vorherrschenden eurozentrischen Schwerpunkt der Freizeitforschung auseinander und bringt eine Reihe von zentralen Fragen wie etwa die Rolle der Freizeit als transkultureller Kontaktzone in die Diskussion mit ein. Der Band beschäftigt sich mit einem Gebiet, das aufgrund der verstärkten Bedeutung von Freizeitaktivitäten für die Definition der Identität einer Person, der sich verwischenden Grenzen zwischen Arbeit und Freizeit im postindustriellen Zeitalter und der zunehmenden wirtschaftlichen Bedeutung von Freizeitaktivitäten wie dem Tourismus rasch wächst. Die Einbeziehung Asiens in die Diskussion trägt dazu bei, das Freizeitforschung in einen globalen Kontext zu stellen. | |
