There are rare cases in which the freedom associated with leisure choices explicitly challenges the existing social order and the values on which it is founded. Types of leisure that are not in harmony with the core values of society have been discussed under the conceptual category of deviant leisure. Inspired by previous work on leisure and the social order, as well as by some observations on Israeli society during the pandemic, this paper offers some reflections on the possible theoretical contribution of the concept of deviant leisure to the study of the interconnection between work, leisure, and the social order.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41359186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Informed by feminist epistemology, semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand the emotional labour of female craft beer professionals resulting in a dynamic and innovative arts-based analysis. Participants discussed their love of the industry and provided insights into unforeseen issues of motherhood, safety, and sexual violence. The motivations behind the leisure pursuits of brewing were complex, which lead to actively engaging in both outward anger and coping strategies resulting in three overarching stanzas, (1) anger as a catalyst, (2) the bridge, and (3) coping mechanisms. Highlighting and giving a platform for women in the craft beer industry to share their narratives, this study creates a dialogue around the complexities and struggles women endure by shedding light on the emotional labour experiences and their ongoing struggles.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43193025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regardless of the geographical scale in question, there are pressing social crises concerning soaring rates of wealth inequality, racial injustices, institutional corruption, educational inequities, displacement of Indigenous peoples, social isolation, and political instability, to name a few examples. Further, by nearly any sober account, we are in the midst of an ecological crisis as well. While climate change is the overarching behemoth that encompasses most of these concerns, there are more specific worries associated with species loss, desertification, overfishing, topsoil despoliation, paradoxical drought and flooding, agricultural monocultures, ocean acidification, and many others. Most assessments are that we have passed a ‘point of no return’ in our warming climate, as we have already exceeded many of the supposed tipping points (polar sea ice loss, melting of Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, tundra methane release, etc.), accelerating a disastrous feedback loop. In short, assessing our social and environmental world often paints a grim picture. What, then, are we to do? The weight of these contemporary social and environmental concerns are so totalizing that they regularly feel overwhelming, if not paralyzing (Robbins and Moore 2013). We see them, we consider them, and often, we move on, hoping that others undertake the significant work to address them. Because, after all, these problems are just too much to take on. This collective feeling of anxiety and inadequacy in the face of insurmountable problems seems to have gripped our contemporary culture (Remes et al. 2016), and an unevenly experienced global pandemic has only worsened this condition (Salari et al. 2020). In this essay, I make the case that a critical political economy approach can address not only the crises at hand, but also these feelings of inadequacy, paralysis, and complacency that all too often accompany the facing of crises. A critical political economy approach places the structure of the economy and sets of power-laden relationships as primary drivers of these socioenvironmental phenomena that mark our crises. I address these pressing, materialist concerns through a critical philosophy of leisure, of all things. I make that case that our neoliberal political economy masks and obfuscates the social and environmental exploitation at the heart of capitalism, a system that has an explicit goal to ‘rob us of our capacity to recognize that we are in crisis’ (Stewart 2021, 263). Understanding leisure, and a recentering and perhaps a reconceptualization of the good life, is one necessary and materialist confrontation that we can and should make.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45043685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We currently face a global climate crisis – one so dangerous that biocultural diversity is at risk of permanent extinction. The reality we now face in the Anthropocene warrants anger. Yet, female-identifying activists, educators, scientists, philosophers, community leaders, and beyond face a litany of macro and microaggressions publicly when they speak out for systemic economic, political, social and scientific change. Anger from women is habitually and publicly discredited and mocked, whereas anger against women is consistently accepted and validated. Tourism is a system that is based on the late-capitalist paradigm of valuating and profiting from the exploitation of biocultural diversity and social inequities in its current market-based, growth-focused structure. This paper explores the intersectionality of anger, climate change and tourism from the perspective of the misogyny of late capitalism.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49355412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to examine the associations among leisure constraints, constraint negotiation, and enjoyment, within the context of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA). Cross-sectional online survey data from 618 Japanese and Euro-Canadian adults were used. Regression results suggested that across different levels of LTPA, enjoyment was negatively associated with constraints and positively with constraint negotiation. Follow-up regression analyses at sub-category level identified specific types of leisure constraints and negotiation strategies particularly pertinent to enjoyment. We conclude that leisure enjoyment is a direct outcome of constraints and constraint negotiation, which supports the call to extend the leisure constraints theory beyond participation as the outcome. Moreover, we suggest that facilitating leisure enjoyment requires awareness of different types of constraints and negotiation strategies depending on activity contexts.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/11745398.2021.1949737","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44696865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The term ‘calisthenics’ has multiple applications; initially, it described a variety of exercise prescribed for physical and mental health. Australian calisthenics defies easy definition, representing a confluence of sport, music and dance; it is a highly structured competitive activity, affording the opportunity for a study of bodies, spaces and places. Individuals’ movements are nestled within the framework of the team, and the synchronous corporeality that is a feature of each calisthenics discipline serves as a stimulus for spatial awareness and the construction of a shared physicality. Calisthenics provides an ideal exemplar of various kinds of leisure work, including somatic, emotional, cultural and community-building labour. Competitions underpin the activity, producing aesthetic strictures and perpetuating the requirement for considerable economic investment. Thus, the article represents a multi-faceted analysis of an important aspect of Australia’s leisure and social histories.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/11745398.2021.1949738","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42171228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adopting an intersectional feminist approach, I argue that the politics of naming routes cannot be divorced from a settler-colonial logic that has long used (re)naming land as a strategy for nation-building.
