ABSTRACT This paper results from an investigation aiming to map possible relations between women and leisure on the agendas defending Brazilian women's rights inside Brazilian social movements. Using Deleuze and Guattari's terms, we establish connections between literature review, document analysis, and narratives provided by Brazilian social movements’ leaders, which pointed to macro and micropolitical aspects that generate difficulties and possibilities for women's leisure to be part of the Brazilian social movements’ agendas. Some of those difficulties are the place and the role of women in society, the breadth of women's identity markers, women's working hours, public spaces not equally perceived between men and women, subjectivity surrounding the definition of leisure, and commercialization of leisure, interfering in the possibilities of access and the non-recognition of leisure as a right. The findings also provide lines of escape as directions about the future of feminist leisure.

ABSTRACT In this research note, inspired by the SI in ALR ‘finding truth in fiction’ [Justin Harmon and Rudy Dunlap. 2021. “Leisure Seen Differently: Conclusion to the Special Issue on ‘Finding Truth in Fiction’.” Annals of Leisure Research, Finding Truth in Fiction 24: 646-651], we explore the potential of fiction as a tool for research and pedagogy in leisure studies. Our analytical focus is Terra Ludus [Bruce 2016a. Terra Ludus: A Novel About Media, Gender and Sport. Rotterdam: Sense Publishers], a dystopian novel set in an imagined (near) future world that has women’s sport as the backdrop. Based on our own readings of Terra Ludus, and an interview with the author (July 2020) about her aims in the production of this work, we explore fiction’s potential role in leisure studies research overall and the possibilities of the creative non-fiction genre specifically.

ABSTRACT The average age of travelers is rising. Research shows increases in the older tourist segment, which prefers opportunities to participate in adventurous activities. Recent figures from Australia show increases in numbers of over 50's women who are signing on for dive classes and trips, yet few studies have examined this group. Older divers often require specialized services. This autoethnographic study aims to bridge the gap in knowledge of leisure constraints encountered by an older woman diver on a day trip to the Great Barrier Reef and offer insights relating to this growing cohort's needs. The five phases of the leisure experience were applied to the author's diving experience to address the scarcity of studies of this cohort. It presents new perspectives on accessible tourism for older adventurous women, such as the challenges of managing heavy gear and the need for suitable spaces to undress in privacy and comfort.

ABSTRACT International volunteering has typically been conceived as a Western sociocultural phenomenon. Within this paper, we aim to apply a non-Western lens to the development of a conceptual framework, through which to consider an alternative perspective on international volunteering. We highlight how, increasingly, non-Western countries are a place that not only hosts international volunteers but also sends volunteers abroad. Using the notions of solidarity, respect and equality, we illustrate the complexities and nuances of what non-Western international volunteering involves. This paper serves as a point of departure for a deeper assessment of the conceptualization of international volunteering from non-Western perspectives that recognize these will be different from Western perspectives, even in an era of globalization partially driven by international volunteering.

ABSTRACT Flow and balance (FAB) is a non-pharmaceutical leisure-time physical activity programme, known as a common health practice for older adults in Korea. It comprises a series of coordinated dance routines, including breathing, balancing, and tapping motions performed on Korean folk music. This study explored a range of experiential characteristics associated with exercising FAB. We used in-depth interviews with older adults (n = 9) from a local community centre in a southern state of the USA who had attended a FAB programme for eight months. The data were coded and analyzed using constant comparison method. The following three themes emerged as a result of the analyses, that is, the uniqueness of the programme; its benefits for physical/mental health and social connectedness; and its role in later-life learning. We suggest that FAB is a practical and broadly applicable leisure-time physical activity for a community setting.
