Unravelling Space and Landscape in Leisure’s Identities

  • Chapter
Landscapes of Leisure

Part of the book series: Leisure Studies in a Global Era ((LSGE))

Abstract

This chapter considers leisure identities through the occurrence of landscape. Prevailing notions of landscape are questioned and critiqued, from the notion of what landscape is, so as to work towards a discussing of the relationships between ourselves, landscape and ‘place’ in the doing of leisure. Landscape, as with place, is neither simply fixed or prefigured settings of leisure, but unstable, contingent and fluid, alongside our own experience and identities in leisure. A participative, creative character of doing leisure is presented. In this more engaged role in both leisure and landscape it becomes possible to examine the lively and fluid process through which our identity can be negotiated.
