Abstract The nightlife sector means the economy and culture but also social wellbeing. However, whenever nightlife does get discussed, it seems always to be about licensing, regulation, crime, culture-led strategies of urban regeneration and urban benchmarking, and we still lack an appropriate understanding about the benefits of night culture beyond these topics. In this critical commentary, I wish to comment on the potential of nightlife as an efficient time–space mechanism for social well-being, community-building and multicultural understanding and even psychological mutual support especially after the Covid-19 pandemic amidst the newly emerging and still undefined world.

ABSTRACT Emotions provoke change, yet are often discredited at best and demonized at worst in modernity and positivism. We currently face a global climate crisis – one so dangerous that biocultural diversity is at risk of permanent extinction. The reality we now face in the Anthropocene warrants anger. Yet, female-identifying activists, educators, scientists, philosophers, community leaders, and beyond face a litany of macro and microaggressions publicly when they speak out for systemic economic, political, social and scientific change. Anger from women is habitually and publicly discredited and mocked, whereas anger against women is consistently accepted and validated. Tourism is a system that is based on the late-capitalist paradigm of valuating and profiting from the exploitation of biocultural diversity and social inequities in its current market-based, growth-focused structure. This paper explores the intersectionality of anger, climate change and tourism from the perspective of the misogyny of late capitalism.

ABSTRACT Although identified in the definition of leisure constraints, leisure enjoyment has been rarely studied as an outcome of constraints and constraint negotiation. The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to examine the associations among leisure constraints, constraint negotiation, and enjoyment, within the context of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA). Cross-sectional online survey data from 618 Japanese and Euro-Canadian adults were used. Regression results suggested that across different levels of LTPA, enjoyment was negatively associated with constraints and positively with constraint negotiation. Follow-up regression analyses at sub-category level identified specific types of leisure constraints and negotiation strategies particularly pertinent to enjoyment. We conclude that leisure enjoyment is a direct outcome of constraints and constraint negotiation, which supports the call to extend the leisure constraints theory beyond participation as the outcome. Moreover, we suggest that facilitating leisure enjoyment requires awareness of different types of constraints and negotiation strategies depending on activity contexts.

ABSTRACT This article explores the uniquely Australian leisure activity of calisthenics. The term ‘calisthenics’ has multiple applications; initially, it described a variety of exercise prescribed for physical and mental health. Australian calisthenics defies easy definition, representing a confluence of sport, music and dance; it is a highly structured competitive activity, affording the opportunity for a study of bodies, spaces and places. Individuals’ movements are nestled within the framework of the team, and the synchronous corporeality that is a feature of each calisthenics discipline serves as a stimulus for spatial awareness and the construction of a shared physicality. Calisthenics provides an ideal exemplar of various kinds of leisure work, including somatic, emotional, cultural and community-building labour. Competitions underpin the activity, producing aesthetic strictures and perpetuating the requirement for considerable economic investment. Thus, the article represents a multi-faceted analysis of an important aspect of Australia’s leisure and social histories.

ABSTRACT In outdoor rock climbing, the first person who successfully ascends and sets up a route – the first ascensionist – chooses a name for it. Some first ascensionists issue discriminatory route names. This article explores how one group of climbing women negotiates misogynistic route names. I qualitatively analyse seventeen, individual, semi-structured interviews and four focus group interviews, and six themes emerge: frustration, helplessness, exclusion, internalized sexism, pushback, and intersection of sexism and settler colonialism. Adopting an intersectional feminist approach, I argue that the politics of naming routes cannot be divorced from a settler-colonial logic that has long used (re)naming land as a strategy for nation-building. I suggest incorporating decolonial theories into outdoor rock climbing to create more inclusive leisure environments.

ABSTRACT As a result of ethnographic research, this contribution focuses on slacklining, highlighting the cultural feature of urban escapism in a renewed relationship with nature: practitioners consider slacklining a tool for a critique of the ‘modern life’ and urban rhythm. Undertaken far from green spaces, these activities represent a discontinuity with the urban dynamics. Outdoor activities respond to the planned division between productive/reproductive activities, and they are functional in a governmental rationale of bodies and the city. This ambiguity permits slacklining to explore the outdoors encounters, highlighting how the distinction between ‘urban’ and ‘natural’ sites poses the foundation of the normativity of performances, practices, subjects. In the entanglements of the nature-urban distinction, dynamics of power and resistance take shape in a continuous production of the urban space, highlighting the creative potential and limits of outdoor activities.

ABSTRACT For individuals experiencing poverty and homelessness, acting out their lives in public spaces can be complicated, as their very existence might be viewed as a transgression of a spaces’ conceptualization [Lefebvre, H. 1991. The Production of Space. London: Blackwell.]. Within this paper, through the work of Henri Lefebvre and Don Mitchell, I examine the ways in which representations of public outdoor spaces in cities impact the lived experiences of those who engage with the sites as a means of survival. Through this work, I argue that the right to be is reliant on an individual’s ability to acceptably (re)produce spaces as they were conceived, or to otherwise be forced to exist in marginal spaces [Mitchell, D., and N. Heynen. 2009. “The Geography of Survival and the Right to the City: Speculation on Surveillance, Legal Innovation, and the Criminalization of Intervention.” Urban Geography 30 (6): 611–632. doi:10.2747/0272-3638.30.6.611; Snow, D., and M. Mulcahy. 2001. “Space, Politics, and the Survival Strategies of the Homeless.” American Behavioral Scientist 45 (1): 149–169. doi:10.1177/00027640121956962]. The empirical insights in this work emerged from nine months of field work at Start Me Up Niagara, a community centre in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, which works with people experiencing poverty and homelessness.
摘要:对于经历贫困和无家可归的个人来说,在公共空间中表现自己的生活可能会很复杂,因为他们的存在可能被视为对空间概念化的侵犯[Lefebvre,H.1991。空间的生产。伦敦:布莱克威尔。在这篇论文中,通过亨利·列斐伏尔和唐·米切尔的工作,我研究了城市公共户外空间的表现如何影响那些将这些场所作为生存手段的人的生活体验。通过这项工作,我认为存在权取决于个人是否有能力按照设想的方式可接受地(重新)产生空间,或者以其他方式被迫存在于边缘空间[Mitchell,D.和N.Heynen.2009。《生存地理与城市权利:对监视、法律创新和干预的刑事化的思考》,《城市地理》30(6):611–632。doi:10.2747/0272-3638.30.6.611;斯诺,D.和马尔卡希先生。2001年,《无家可归者的空间、政治和生存策略》,《美国行为科学家》45(1):149–169。doi:10.177/00027640121956962]。这项工作中的经验见解来自加拿大安大略省圣凯瑟琳市的社区中心Start-Me Up Niagara九个月的实地工作,该中心为贫困和无家可归的人提供服务。

nities, here the authors of this chapter interestingly underscore the need to also empower CBT visitors. This handbook, therefore, raises the thought-provoking question of whether both hosts and guests should be equally concerned with empowerment. According to Walia and Choudhary (Chapter 40), it is only when both tourists and hosts are empowered that they may feel ‘slightly closer to one another and to this large world around us’ (513). Overall, this handbook conveys two clear and important messages. One message is that CBT should acknowledge the diversity within host communities, as well as within visitor segments. A second message is that empowerment should transform both host and guests; it is only when both hosts and guests are empowered that they can make memorable experiences in relation to one another. I would recommend this handbook to the widest possible audience. This book offers convenient learning materials for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers with an interest in CBT, as well as for destination practitioners (e.g. community managers, DMO representatives), and the general public curious about innovative travel patterns and tourism management practices.

ABSTRACT There is a strong need to conduct research and inform practice related to increasing racial and ethnic diversity in the leisure field (Floyd and Stodolska [2019]. “Scholarship on Race and Ethnicity: Assessing Contributions to Leisure Theory and Practice.” Journal of Park and Recreation Administration 37 (1): 80–94). Using a routines and rituals framework, we explored how and why Latinx families spend time together outside. We collected qualitative data via an online questionnaire from 134 Latinx students from an urban, west coast university. Findings showed participants engaged in a variety of outdoor family traditions from routine walks, bike rides, and backyard activities to longer ritualized adventures in parks, beaches, and natural areas that reinforced family relationships and cultural heritage. Engagement in family-based nature activities provided opportunities to strengthen relationships, communicate meaningfully, and spend quality time together, given fewer technological distractions outdoors. Participants suggested focusing on improving existing outdoor spaces and community facilities, implementing more family-based community events, and creating educational campaigns to promote participation in outdoor activities.
