Leisure Studies is the journal of the Leisure Studies Association. The emphasis of the journal is on theoretically informed critical analyses within the social sciences and humanities of the wide range of topics that constitute leisure as a subject field – including the arts, tourism, cultural, informal and virtual activities, urban and rural recreation, sport, media and physical activities.

This journal publishes high-quality papers on the sociology of leisure that have a global interest, promote the development of this mature field within international sociology, and go beyond the traditional geographical areas of leisure studies. The sociology of leisure is about the social institution of leisure and its activities being pursued in free time or time away from disagreeable obligations.

Är Exploring Sports and Society: A critical introduction for students bara ännu en i raden av introduktioner till idrott och samhälle? Nej, menar vår recensent Håvard Bergesen Dalen, Karl Spracklen har skrivit en heltäckande, kritisk, provokativ och roande inledning till en sociologisk förståelse av samspelet mellan idrotten och samhället.

Den namnkunniga brittiske idrotts- och fritidsforskaren Karl Spracklens senaste bok, Leisure, Sports & Society recenseras av Erik Backman. Det kan te sig lite tjatigt då och då,, menar vår recensent, men detta är en viktig bok, inte minst ur ett teoretiskt perspektiv.
