The social scientific study of tourism has emphasized the effects of the post-industrial economy on travel and place. This volume takes these issues into a different area of leisure: the spare-time carved out by people as part of their everyday lives. It focuses on the body as a site of identity formation, and disciplined recreation of the self.
