Gouvernance du plein air et des territoires naturels publics au Canada et aux États-Unis
Le mentorat dans les pratiques de loisir de chasse et de pêche au Québec
Les pratiques de chasse et de pêche font partie intégrante des activités de plein air au Québec. Toutefois, et depuis plusieurs décennies, le Québec est confronté à une diminution drastique du nombre de pratiquants. Parmi les stratégies visant à accroître l’engouement autour de ces pratiques de loisir, le mentorat est une des actions centrales. Cette étude qualitative, basée sur 24 entretiens semi-dirigés, vise à analyser quelles sont les raisons…
Nascar, fans et commanditaires
Industrie emblématique du sport-spectacle américain et de certaines valeurs traditionnelles des États-Unis, la National Association for Stock Car Automobile Racing (Nascar) s’est développée au fil des décennies à travers des stratégies néolibérales et marchandes où les relations avec les fans et les commanditaires (aussi appelés sponsors) sont centrales. Cette recherche vise donc à dresser, par le biais d’une revue systématique des écrits scienti…

Using Gilles Lipovetsky Concepts to Frame Leisure Studies in the Hypermodern Age
Étude phénoménologique du développement de la spiritualité de l’individu hypermoderne par une pratique de loisir holistique
L’individu hypermoderne évolue dans une société caractérisée par l’excès et l’accélération de son mode de vie à travers laquelle il doit trouver un sens qui lui est propre et effectuer des choix qui lui permettront de se forger une identité. Les notions de spiritualité, de flow et de littératie physique combinées offrent une posture analytique nouvelle sur cette problématique en mettant en perspective le bien-être de l’individu. Ces notions nous …
Le loisir comme facteur d’intégration sociale pour les nouveaux arrivants

Cette recherche exploratoire vise à analyser la relation entre le loisir et l’intégration sociale des nouveaux arrivants dans un contexte interculturel. Cette recherche qualitative est fondée sur la conduite de 13 entre…
L’art du flow et le développement spirituel dans la société hypermoderne
Hypermodernity is a period characterized by a loss of meaning and a disenchantment in relation to the world that is unique in human history. Aubert’s hyperformance, Bauman’s liquid modernity, Lipovetsky’s hypermodernity and Beck’s reflexive modernity offer a significant perspective on actual social dynamics and their evolution. A new analytical posture is proposed in this article under the form of an essay to demonstrate the contribution of leisu…
Habiter la sphère du loisir
In today’s society, considered hypermodern by some, the concepts of experience, pleasure and enjoyment are predominant, and very frequently tinged with consumerism. Leisure therefore takes center stage in everyday settings, fragmented both temporally and spatially. In the form of an essay, this article discusses two concepts shown to be insightful analytical tools for decoding these renewed socio-territorial mechanisms. The concepts of dwelling a…

This systematic review was based on the work of Arksey and O’Malley and presents the current research on social media use in North American basketball. Thirty-five articles were reviewed to (a) identify authors, concepts, research methods, and the results that have provided greater insight into the role of social media in sports; and (b) describe both the strategies underlying social media use according to user profiles and the new relationship t…
A conceptual interpretation of the relationship between leisure and its foundational disciplines
The multidisciplinary nature of leisure is well documented. However, few models have been developed to illustrate this reality. The objective of this paper is to present a model that conceptualizes the relationship between leisure and its foundational disciplines. According to the literature, leisure is defined as a multidimensional construct. To illustrate this construct, a review of the existing literature linking leisure and its foundational d…
Critique de la convergence
This article highlights the need for a holistic and interdisciplinary approach between the media and the new contexts and issues. Through a critique of the state of knowledge about Jenkins’ theories, the study focuses on transmedia. Highlighting a controversial scientific reception of the concept, it suggests a new historical and methodological conceptualization of this concept in order to better understand its rhetorical potentialities. It also …
Loisir et intégration des immigrants
The issue of immigrant integration is at the heart of many debates within contemporary industrialized societies. It has often been questioned and studied from the point of view of work, education, and health and social services. However, leisure is increasingly seen as a factor of integration for these immigrant populations. Thus, based on a systematic review of scientific literature (n = 63), this study allows us to sum up the current knowledge …
Urban skating sport
The aim of this thematic issue of the Journal Society and Leisure is to initiate, gather together and compare recent research on urban board sports. The intention is not to produce an exhaustive assessment, but rather to measure the changing trends of research in this field. In this respect, Walker (2013) recalls in his academic study that urban board sports, and more particularly skateboarding, are generally studied from relatively precise analy…
Rural leisure opportunities for people with disabilities
The issue of leisure for people with disabilities is central as the practice of these activities helps counteract certain problems of sedentariness, social isolation or stigmatization. This problematic is even more complicated in rural areas, where limited means, as well as geographical location and scope slow down certain avenues of leisure development for these challenged populations. The objective of this study was to seek to understand the re…

Sporting and leisure activities among adolescents
Quebec, like other Canadian provinces, is dealing with sedentary lifestyle problems affecting its youth. Several recent studies have suggested that good-quality spatial planning regarding recreational and sporting facilities helps to increase the level of physical activity youth undertake. However, this correlation also intermingles with spatial elements linked to the living environments of youth (urban, suburban, and rural), and this study was c…

Planning and Reconversion of Olympic Heritages
For hosting cities, the summer Olympic Games (OG) has become an extremely expensive and complex urban project, partly used for urban regeneration. We can also observe that the Olympic stadium's problematic of reconversion is recurring as this infrastructure, the most significant of the Olympic park, needs colossal financing for its construction and its management. However, despite a few planning measures, we notice that after the OG a considerabl…
Territorial and touristic branding
Since its creation in 1978, the Formula One Canadian Grand Prix has taken an increasingly significant place in Montreal's event calendar. The loss of this event in 2009, mostly due to financial setbacks, further highlighted its influence on Montreal and the Province of Quebec's tourism industry and economy. Many political stakeholders used these specific arguments to justify the major public funds they disbursed in order to re-introduce Montreal'…

Planning and social appropriation of proximal sports facilities
The worldwide obesity epidemic, caused particularly by a lack of daily physical activity, is regrettable. Hence, many recent studies have demonstrated that many elements linked to the layout and appropriation of sports facilities can have a positive effect and lead to the integration of healthy habits. This article aims to analyze, through a case study that took place in a Montreal North neighborhood, the social impacts as well as the effects on …

Development of adolescents' leisure interests and social involvement
Many municipal stakeholders deplore the poor participation of adolescents in out-of-school activities while also acknowledging their lack of understanding about the latter's interests in terms of leisure. Therefore, this study is to further understand how adolescents develop their leisure expectations and their level of social involvement in their communities. For these purposes, 18 focus groups were conducted with 72 youth aged between 12 and 17…
Inclusive Sporting Events in Schools for Youth With Disabilities in Quebec
Participating in physical activities and sports entails positive impacts for youth with disabilities regarding their physical and social well-being.
