| Abstract: | This paper is a position paper, seeking to set a new and distinctive approach to the study of leisure (henceforth as: l.) that combines theory, practice and ethics. It stands on the shoulders of 'action sociology', as represented in the Weberian tradition, and symbolic interactionism. The paper is concerned to elucidate a renewed action approach and to demonstrate its value for the study of l. It does not aim to compare or contrast this approach systematically with other positions in the field. The action approach identifies 'testing' to be a duty of all theoretical propositions. It regards l. to be intrinsically political. The paper distinguishes the differences btw. postmodernism and the action approach. |
