A descent into dark leisure in music
Home had a way of shifting
Diana Evans’s debut novel, 26a (first published in 2005) follows the fortunes of Hunter twins Bess and Georgia, the daughters of a white English father and Nigerian mother, and examines their relationship in the context of their parents’ troubled marriage and Georgia’s struggle with mental illness. In doing so, the book explores the cosmopolitan movements of second-generation black British subjects, as the twins and their sisters move across and …

Who is the 'girly' girl? Tomboys, hyper-femininity and gender
This study is based on research which focused on tomboy girls and their shared leisure time with their mothers. The research was a small-scale exploratory study of 20 women in the UK; data were collected in Yorkshire in the north of England and London in the south-east. The focus of the research was on the topic of tomboy identities. In this study, we explore the nuances and ambiguities around what a tomboy is by using an indirect (and perhaps un…

Three generations of women's leisure
This paper examines the leisure lives of twelve women, from four families, across three generations. Drawing on qualitative data from interviews with ‘trios’ of three generations of women, I examine changes and shifts in women's leisure across the life-course and within families. At the outset of the research I was interested primarily in identifying changes, but soon the data revealed that the women transmitted both habits and understanding of l…
The thrill of the ‘chase film’
There is a great deal at stake in discussing the 1907 Edison film, Jack the Kisser. As well as marking a significant stage in the evolution and establishment of narrative film, Jack the Kisser’s combination of a cinematically and socially resonant narrative with a dynamic and entertainingly spectacular visual style points to socio‐cultural motivations for the institution of narrative as a practice of representation. This particular film also serv…
Preparation and determination
This paper examines the leisure narratives of three individual women who attended pole dancing classes once a week in a city in the North of England. The research was based on participant observation of pole dancing classes and individual interviews with 15 women, nine of whom were students and six were teachers. This paper uses the pole exercise classes as a departure point for an examination of how the women negotiated the time and cost, and ho…
Stretching' Exercises for Qualitative Researchers
Grandfatherhood and Leisure
This paper explores the meanings and values attached to grandfatherhood for a range of older men who have recently retired from paid employment. It focuses on the spaces of grandfatherhood and the meanings they attach to time spent with grandchildren. The empirical study involved 12 semi‐structured interviews with grandfathers from diverse ethnic backgrounds. The data are examined from a theoretical position that recognises the significance of un…
Race and Social Analysis
Bend It Like Patel
This article focuses on the experiences of Black women and one Indian Hindu woman in football in England. The discussions draw on survey and interview research to theorize gender, 'race' and ethnicity. The research represents a questionnaire survey of women's teams and 14 semi-structured in-depth interviews; seven with players and seven with 'officials'. The survey provides data on players, coaches and managers at women's football clubs registere…
Alternative Femininities
Imagine a world where the oppressive, over-feminized images of women from advertising, television, films, and magazines have re-armed themselves with army boots, body modifications, and flamboyant hair. Is this just another fairy tale, and if so, why cant it be a reality? In Alternative Femininities, Samantha Holland unpacks the myth of model womanhood and considers how a particular group of real women define and practise femininity. These women,…
