| dc.description.abstract | This inquiry begins with a focus on the experience of constrained leisure. Using a critical, feminist lens the 're-search' evolves into an exploration of everyday experiences of constraint in three particular arenas and the relationship of these experiences to the social forces that shape them. These arenas are; epistemology and research, the meaning and practice of leisure and participation in my health. The autobiographical narrative in this thesis illustrates a shift in awareness and understanding that has enabled me to move within these arenas from arrest in habitual patterns of constraint to participation in conscious choice . Important to this process has been the development of a meaningful understanding of leisure and the realization that this inquiry is an embodiment of leisure; the development of awareness and understanding in the pausing to question and critically reflect. This study illustrates possibilities of human agency within leisure. | |
