Popular Culture Criticism as Applied to Tourism
Popular culture criticism has had a long and well documented history, and debates around its pros and cons have by now become stylized. The same kinds of arguments are mustered in favor and against tourism as have been marshalled against popular culture. Mass tourism resembles mass culture in its treatment by critics

The Charismatic and the Playful in Outdoor Recreation
Striking parallels exist between the concepts charisma and play. Both refer to a quality or an orientation rather than a behavior or an activity. Both are seen as innate to humans, yet scarce because of lack of opportunity and lack of cultivation, as well as lack of talent or "genius." Charisma as well as play is related to vital processes and is transcendent, featuring the extra-ordinary. Charisma and play are contrasted with the routine and rej…

The Sociology of Leisure in The United States
Part I of this article is a review of the various kinds of research on the American use of leisure time conducted between 1945 and 1965 with an analysis of the strength and weaknesses of each. It is evident that in many cases, sociological research efforts have examined only the surface manifestations of leisure in the United States and have failed to delve into the fundamental questions that researchers should be asking. In Part II, a short bibl…
Human Communication Theory
Mass Communication
The relationship between social science and television has been an uncomfortable one. So "conspicuously vulgar," so "manifestly tempting," so "clearly a waste of time," television's "evil effects" have been pondered by social scientists ever since the first antennas were raised on the rooftops of America and Western Europe.Sheer quantity provides perhaps the leading cause for the concern. Much as uncontrolled births, "the problem of overpopulatio…

Christmas in an Apartment Hotel
From a small study of Christmas images and activities, carried out among the residents of a Chicago apartment hotel, it was found, in general, that Christmas is seen as a day for reaffirming personal ties-particularly with kin-more so among women than men. Although the sample population tends not to maintain close kinship ties ordinarily, it was the rule that they made great effort to spend some part of Christmas Day within a family setting. Role…

Notes on a Natural History of Fads
The natural history of fads of fashions, a particular type of social change, is told as a succession of chronological stages, each characterized by the interaction among producers, distributors, and consumers. The process is thus: discovery of the potential fad, promotion by the discoverers and/or original consumers, labeling, dissemination, eventual loss of exclusiveness and uniqueness, death by displacement
