授業の目標・概要

This course focuses on the concept and history of leisure, particularly in the United States and Japan. By reading primary and secondary documents on leisure, we will think about questions such as: How has the meaning of leisure changed? How is leisure culture created? Why and how do people engage in leisure culture? How are the concepts of leisure similar and different in Japan and the United States? What does leisure mean to us in modern society and do we see this changing in the next few decades? The overall goal of this course is to understand the significance of leisure in a capitalistic society.
