description 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

Abstract in other languages 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. 2021-02-10T14:40:36Z 2021-02-10T14:40:36Z 2020-02-25 12:03:24 2020-04-01T06:50:21Z 2020 book 1007763 OCN: 1253413618 2365-7995/eISSN 2365-7987 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/22418 9783947732739; 9783947732746 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/36939 eng Heidelberg Studies on Transculturality open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/22418/1/heiUP_OAPEN_Wagner_Yeh_Leisure_book.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/22418/1/heiUP_OAPEN_Wagner_Yeh_Leisure_book.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/22418/1/heiUP_OAPEN_Wagner_Yeh_Leisure_book.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/22418/1/heiUP_OAPEN_Wagner_Yeh_Leisure_book.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/22418/1/heiUP_OAPEN_Wagner_Yeh_Leisure_book.pdf Heidelberg University Publishing (heiUP) heiUP 10.17885/heiup.550 10.17885/heiup.550 83eb0236-463a-4213-8a0f-dc16011f70aa 9783947732739; 9783947732746 AG Universitätsverlage heiUP 316 Heidelberg open access
