Abstract
Over the last decades an experiential comprehension of leisure has spread in Leisure Studies. In order to correctly understand all implications of this theoretical paradigm, the deep change in the concept of experience that it represents has to be taken into account. This article tries to contribute to this task by pointing out the transformations of the notion of “lived experience” (“vivencia”), from its origins to the current understanding. With this purpose, we will collect the successive functions the concept plays in different theoretical discourses, as well as its insertion in the general linguistic use, which is indicative of the changes at the social practices level. The article stays within a clear spatial and temporal framework, which refers to Germany between the 30s of the 19 th century and the same decade of the next century, since this is the arena where the main discussions that prepare the current sense of the concept of lived experience took place.

RESUMEN: En las últimas décadas se ha asentado en los Estudios de Ocio una comprensión experiencial del fenómeno del ocio
Ya desde finales del siglo XIX empezaron a aparecer en Alemania signos de una posición antiburguesa, sostenida por la propia burguesía, que no hizo sino radicalizarse en las siguientes décadas

Summary
Un amplio acuerdo entre los investigadores cifra en tres las principales líneas de definición del ocio: tiempo, actividad y actitud (Walsmley y Jenkins, 2003, p. 279). Que constituyen el primer corpus teórico consistente de los Estudios de Ocio, se basan principalmente en un análisis de las prácticas y de los usos del tiempo. En la década de los 70 se origina una segunda orientación en los Estudios de Ocio, que rechaza las aproximaciones exclusivamente objetivistas que se habían realizado hasta el momento y aboga por un giro hacia el sujeto. Aunque se ancla en última instancia en la ya citada obra pionera de Neulinger The Psychology of Leisure (1974), puede afirmarse que el paradigma de investigación que concibe el ocio como experiencia no alcanza su máxima extensión en los Estudios de Ocio hasta la última década del pasado siglo.
