Making Leisure Work
Architecture and the Experience Economy
«
'Making Leisure Work is a work of uncommon seriousness and impeccable scholarship. Refracting Pine and Gilmore's The Experience Economy through the lens of Certeau's conceptualization of everyday spatial production, Brian Lonsway makes a convincing case for elevating architectural theory to a central place in interpreting themed environments and experiences. Highly recommended for graduate and upper level undergraduate seminars in architecture, consumer studies, cultural anthropology, leisure studies and urban sociology.' - John Hannigan, University of Toronto (Author of Fantasy City: Pleasure and Profit in the Postmodern Metropolis)
'Brian Lonsway has created a welcomed addition to the literature on the politics of space and meaning. He maps out a range of issues in a way that challenges traditional interpretations of themed architecture while providing an important critical framework for engaging the built environment.' - Cities, Volume 26, 2009
