Hard and Disappearing Work: Making Sense of the Leisure Project
Dans cet article, l'A se penche sur l'interdisciplinarite du champ d'etude que sont devenus les loisirs aux Etats-Unis. Il est ici question des grandes tendances qui traversent les sciences economiques, politiques, culture et societe
Joining up policy discourses and fragmented practices: The Precarious Contribution of Cultural Projects to Social Inclusion
English This article outlines New Labour's policy discourse about social exclusion and the confusing challenge it poses to local cultural projects. Government now demands hard evidence to measure the impact of cultural projects on performance indicators such as education, employment, crime and health. However, community-based workers are hard pressed to collect valid and reliable data that evaluate projects against clear criteria for social inclu…
Boys, Masculinities and PE
This paper reports the findings of a qualitative study which aimed to explore boys' perceptions and experiences of school-based physical education (PE) and involvement in extra-curricular and out-of-school physical activities. Drawing on group and individual interviews with 22 15-year-old boys in four inner-city comprehensive schools, it explores the nature, purposes and experiences of their physical education involvement both in and out of schoo…
Rojek, the sociological imagination and leisure
This article traces the historical development of Chris Rojek's writing and documents his distinctive contribution to contemporary debates about postmodern culture. Rojek has consistently sought to develop a coherent sociology of leisure and has sought to apply his sociological imagination to develop leisure studies as a field of study. However, there seems to be an ambivalence or reluctance to engage with Rojek's work on leisure theory. From the…
Explanations of the Organisation of Sport in British Society
This paper seeks to clarify the relationship between explanations of the role of the state in Britain, and theoretical traditions in the analysis of sport. It characterises the role of the state as dominated by four chronologically ordered rationales, traditional pluralism, welfare reformism, anti-managerialism, and neo-liberalism. The paper traces the material conditions which have mediated state-sport relations and which have also provided the …

Leisure, the local state and social order
This paper investigates ways in which social theory has conceptualized the nature and function of state intervention in the field of leisure. The particular focus of the paper is on the nature of state mediation of leisure in Britain's inner cities which have been prone to periodic bouts of disorder and riot, particularly in the last five years. However, the paper does not constitute a pragmatic search for policies to solve urban disorders by man…
Political ideology and leisure policy in the United Kingdom
There is no well-developed literature on the relationship between leisure policy and political ideology. Three political ideologies — liberalism, conservatism and socialism — are examined for their core values and social policy implications. An attempt is made to construct liberal, conservative and socialist leisure policies, deduced from their ideological positions and current writings and policy statements of key thinkers. It is concluded that …
