RC13 Sociology of Leisure (host committee) Language: English
The available leisure time presents a framework for a very wide scope of individual leisure activities that often reflect contemporary changes. At least since industrialization, technology and leisure have become intertwined in several respects. The opportunities for identification that transpire out of the use of technology often result in an almost symbiotic relationship, which is especially true in the case of leisure time sport. Leisure has therefore become part of the technological world over the course of industrialization. The perceptions about the world’s technologisation and leisure time have changed. This session help in demonstrating technology is linked with the parameters of leisure and with the recreational activities themselves. We hope to find submissions that will help in creating new theories of technology and leisure, impact of technology on leisure acts or well-being and inspires finding out new technological aids of leisure. We look forward for submissions from academicians, researchers from different streams across the world.
