This volume is the first to draw together theoretical reflection and empirical research occurring at the juncture of critical approaches in leisure studies and event studies with diverse explorations of deviance. It includes chapters on craftivist sewing, roleplaying games, LGBTQ+ events and activism, goth subcultural activities, drugs and sex, and a range of sporting pastimes, with photos, poetry and photo essays. The collection draws on inquiry undertaken by contributors from a wide spectrum of academic disciplines, as well as some who could be described as deviant leisure practitioners and/or organisers of events of deviance. It seeks to expand deviance into other disciplines and areas and to develop theories of deviance. It speaks to students, researchers, and practitioners working or interested in queer theory, social movement studies, cultural theory, burlesque/circus studies, media studies, and discourse studies.weiterlesen
