Abstract

This review compares leisure in Great Britain and France by setting it in the context of the time-space dimensions of the family and work. Many previous reviews have claimed that all capitalist societies are characterized by the domination of work time over family and leisure time, with important repercussions on the spatial organization of non-work life. Increasingly, in recent years, it has been argued that leisure has become a central life interest, and that values associated with leisure and family life are affecting attitudes towards work discipline. The work pole model is scrutinized with reference to Franco-British similarities and differences and suggestions are made about how it should be revised.
