| Abstract: | The term 'enforced leisure' is commonly used describing the involuntary spare time due to the unemployment in the face of 1930s economic recession in Britain. This article draws on Foucauldian theories of governmentality and archival research when exploring the ways in which early broadcasting sought to monitore the problem of enforced leisure and its apparent effects by rendering the experience and behaviour of the unemployed more governable. |
