授業の目標・概要

This course focuses on the reality and representation of leisure with a particular focus on race and ethnicity in the United States and Japan. By reading primary and secondary documents on leisure practice and their representation in the media, we will think about questions such as: How has the meaning of leisure changed throughout the centuries? How is leisure culture created? How do racial and ethnic minorities practice leisure activities? How do race or ethnicity impact leisure practice? Why and how do people engage in leisure culture, and does it differ by race or ethnicity? How are the concepts of leisure similar and different in Japan and the United States? Are these concepts employed differently in regard to race and ethnicity in these countries? 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.
