This book provides a bottom-up contribution to contemporary political and cultural theory, by presenting leisure activities as a democratic arena.

Where much of the existing literature on leisure and play views participants as consumers, Kj lsr d presents these people as producers, who conduct micro-processes of social protection, become informed and skilled, and achieve influence via complex leisure. Through an in-depth analysis of a range of leisure practices, this book demonstrates where players belong in the political landscapes of modern democracies.
