Visual approaches raise important questions of research philosophies, strategies and methods. They “not only enable researchers to produce knowledge in innovative ways,” but also “can be seen as a liberating and emancipatory force, whereby researchers, participants, and communities gain access to knowledge and expressions that might have not otherwise been accessible due to the inevitable strictures of traditional methods”. Accordingly, we invite submissions that challenge researchers to think critically or differently about visual methods in/as leisure research.

In this special issue we want to build upon work that has focused on exploring the boundaries of leisure and innovation. To adapt to future consumer expectations, significant transformational impacts are likely to occur in the fields of marketing, tourism, leisure, events, hospitality, citizen/government interaction, health, workplace, education, and social networks We are interested in receiving papers that explore and examine the numerous challenges that remain.

In multifarious non-structured ways, human leisure entangles with animal life without any pre-design or mediation. These entanglements create outcomes that may be welcomed or not, beneficial or not, dangerous or not, divisive or not, for all participants, both animal and human. We invite papers, therefore, for a special issue of the World Leisure Journal that focuses on the unstructured entanglements of animals and human leisure.
