TIME FREEDOM AND THE SELF - MICHELLE SHIR-WISE ...

While abundant research has investigated time use  much less attention has been given to the
cultural meanings attached to free time and what these may express with regard to conceptions
of freedom and the self. In an attempt to fill this gap  Michelle Shir-Wise examines not only
what people do in their free time  but also how they perceive  interpret and experience it  and
in what way it relates to notions of happiness  freedom and the ideal self. Time  Freedom and
the Self draws on contemporary theoretical debates concerning the relation between discourse 
cultural repertoires  subjective meaning and agency  as well as literature around the sociology
of leisure  to inform a unique interpretation of free time (¿disciplined freedom¿)  developed
in the light of questionnaires and in-depth interviews with middle-class  middle-aged
participants in suburban Israel.
