Sociability Associations: A Literature Review
ISBN: 9789004397897 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Friendly social relations during free time, referred to here as leisure-based sociability, constitute a prominent reward of participation in groups based on voluntary membership, consisting for this review mainly of amateurs, hobbyists, volunteers, and their associations. This benefit is analyzed according to two subtypes: sociable nonprofit associations and social clubs. The goal of this issue of the Voluntaristics Review is to examine the leisure component of these two subtypes as framed in the serious leisure perspective (SLP), put nonprofit sociability in organizational context, and then...

The Laugh-Makers is an intensive sociological field study of the drive to become a successful stand-up comic in Canada.

Community involvement and leisure are rarely mentioned in mass media coverage of the Middle East and North Africa.Yet leisure and community involvement form a part of life in the region, and are becoming increasingly significant as modernization becomes pervasive.

Planning Your Time in Retirement: How to Cultivate a Leisure Lifestyle to Suit Your Needs and Interests
ISBN: 9781442221598 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Much of what is written about getting old has a negative feel to it, which is certainly not entirely unjustified. Health may begin to fail. Finances may become tighter as income dwindles or stops altogether. Family and friends may move away or move on. But the retirement years do not have to be negative or bleak. Within this "dark scenario," a positive existence is possible. Planning Your Time in Retirement focuses on the variety of free-time activities available to retirees as related to their physical, social, and economic situation in old age, helping readers find out what their passions...

Leisure Activities in Context: A Micro-Macro/Agency-Structure Interpretation of Leisure
ISBN: 9781138511644 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There have been many analyses of leisure, drawing on the social, historical, cultural, temporal, and geographical contexts in which acts of leisure are pursued. Yet these studies lack a theoretical framework that can explain how leisure studies interact in various social contexts (cultural, temporal, or geographical), or as Robert A. Stebbins conceptualizes it, at levels of society. Here Stebbins explores leisure studies at society's micro, meso, and macro levels. He considers all three as they manifest themselves in the everyday pursuit of leisure, while focusing on the heretofore...

Personal Decisions in the Public Square: Beyond Problem Solving Into a Positive Sociology
ISBN: 9781412847520 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This work looks into how, why, and when people pursue things in life that they desire, those that make their existence attractive and worth living. Robert A. Stebbins calls this "Positive Sociology," the study of what people do to organize their lives such that they become substantially rewarding, satisfying, and fulfilling. Western society has many challenges: crime, drug addiction, urban pollution, daily stress, domestic violence, and overpopulation. Significant levels of success in avoiding these problems brings a noticeable measure of tranquility, but it does not necessarily generate a...

Amateurs, Professionals, and Serious Leisure
ISBN: 9780773509016 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Throughout this project Stebbins has built on the work of Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss and their notion of "grounded theory." First, Stebbins extensively observed the routine activities of amateurs and professionals in each field studied. Then, as he became more familiar with the life-styles of the participants, he conducted lengthy, unstructured, face-to-face interviews with, in most cases, thirty amateur or professional respondents. Each field demanded special methods of observation, analysis, interviewing, probing, and reporting. As much as possible, however, Stebbins asked similar...

ISBN: 9780761923992 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Exploratory Research in the Social Sciences examines the under-discussed process of exploration as a methodological process, providing a complete reference for carrying out this type of research.

Leisure and the Motive to Volunteer: Theories of Serious, Casual, and Project-Based Leisure
ISBN: 9781137585165 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 82 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Volunteering and its nonprofit organizations have commonly been analyzed in economic terms, with volunteering being referred to as "unpaid (productive) work." This economic definition has been around far longer than that of volunteering conceived of as leisure, which is discussed as the volitional definition. By means of a lengthy literature review, this book sets out the theoretical and empirical contributions of the serious leisure perspective to understanding volunteer motivation. This second approach began more than 40 years ago. It answers the key motivational question of why people...

The Idea of Leisure: First Principles
ISBN: 9781412842723 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A range of thinkers in philosophy, religion, and the social sciences have argued that thanks to science, technology, and the organization of society, the human condition has improved and will continue to do so. People are becoming progressively happier and enjoying an ever-improving quality of life, they say, mostly because they are putting their skills and reason to work. The Idea of Leisure is based on the assumption that leisure also fits into the social order, and it provides a singular vector by which to measure progress, even though it is rarely mentioned in writings about...
