The Realistic Worries and Reconstruction Path of Integrating Leisure Education into Curriculum from the Perspective of Dewey's Curriculum Theory

In today's rapidly developing economy, the transition from a working society to a leisure society has made the importance of leisure education increasingly prominent. However, due to the narrow educational concept, leisure education has not received the attention it deserves, making it difficult to realize its true educational value. As a life oriented educational activity, leisure education urgently needs to be integrated into school curriculum. From the perspective of Dewey's curriculum theory, this paper explores the direction of curriculum in contemporary leisure education, examines the reflection of real-life concerns such as "cognitive degradation", "temporal and spatial alienation", and "the disappearance of contemplation" in the era, and explores the reconstruction path of integrating leisure education into curriculum based on the theory of activity curriculum.

The End of History, alienation and urban photography across the French–Spanish border, 1964–75

Offering an overview of Spain’s illustrated magazines of the late 1960s and early 1970s, this article retrieves the debates concerning leisure society and reveals the role that street photography played in visualizing the promises and the defeats of touristified spaces. As the article demonstrates, these discussions creatively elaborated the Marxist ideas of the time about commodified leisure as a form of human survival following the End of History that were debated in France.

The paper presents dimensions and determinants of cultural organisation engagement in virtual communities.

An Education on the Importance of Comfort Sociology

Our society mainly consists of men, women and children and their various age groups. If these elements are not there, it cannot be a society. All these people together form the society. Our society responds differently to entertainment and leisure. All individuals play an important part in how they function in society and how they respond to recreation and leisure. The way we perceive our roles in society affects our recreational and leisure activities. We should consider the ways in which we as individuals and our society come together when it comes to recreation and leisure. As individuals we must ensure that our roles in society have a positive impact. Society in general does not consider how their roles affect their influence and leisure. As our society is constantly changing, so is the balance between work and leisure in society. Today All over the world there is a balance between rest and work in favor of work. The increased importance on work is a result of the influence of the Western world on the whole world. In all these global societies, we have adopted the mindset that work, which is a major aspect of human life, must be successfully completed before rest. This mindset has changed the way we view leisure in our society, leading to a dramatic decline in participation and participation in leisure activities. However, I believe I am inconsistent with this mindset, as my journey through life has taught me the importance of rest. This has made it my life’s mission to make leisure my work. How was my leisure trip? These are two different components but work together. This research paper is based on what are the factors that affect us as individuals in society and how it relates to our leisure time.

Mental Guidance in Improving Life Skills for School Dropout Teens at PSBR Yogyakarta

Adolescence is the transition of children to adulthood. The transition from the period of children to adulthood triggers many problems faced by adolescents. Therefore, adolescents need education as a basis for meeting the needs needed in order to respond and respond to problems as well as a basis in character formation. But in certain conditions teenagers are faced with educational problems that have taken root, namely the problem of dropping out of school.

The 4-day work-week: the new leisure society?

ABSTRACT Current campaigns for a four-day, 32-hour standard working week to replace the five-day, 40-hour model have attracted the attention of employers, trade unions, political parties, governments and the communications media but, seemingly, not of leisure scholars. This is in contrast to the leisure society concept of the 1960s/1970s, some versions of which anticipated a 30-hour working week. This paper examines the 4-day work-week proposition from a leisure point of view. It summarises: some of the antecedent twentieth century calls for shorter working weeks; the twenty-first-century advocacy literature for the 4-day week; and the growing list of live trials of the concept. An analysis is offered of the goals of the 4-day week proposition and its proponents’ response to anticipated opposition. It is concluded that, in the interests of social relevance, there is a role for leisure scholars to play in critically evaluating the 4-day work-week proposition, in general and in regard to its implications for leisure.

Mountain sports tourism as an ecosystem market

ABSTRACT Mountain sports tourism literature shows a lack of conceptualisation probably due to its own particular character. Indeed, it is a complex market consisting of several products, services and actors from different natures. This paper examines how, on the one hand, the ecosystem approach, and on the other hand, the socioeconomic co-evolution of sport and tourism can help to understand the mountain sports tourism. The paper hypothesis argues that actors’ interactions, and sport and tourism economic models’ convergence have contributed to shape this market. The ecosystem’s actors have mobilised resources and strategies in order to incorporate sport and tourism industries to establish and to develop a specific market in mountainous areas. The French case study shows how entrepreneurs, local authorities, consumers, institutions, etc. seized the opportunity offered by the development of the society of leisure to constitute a socioeconomic community based on mountain sports tourism in the sense of James Moore [(1993). Predator and prey: Anew ecology of competition. Harvard Business Review, (May–June), 73–86; (1996). Business ecosystem and the view from the firm. Antitrust Bulletin, 51(1), 31–75].

Translations of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in France (1886–2015)

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’s presence in France went through three phases. The pioneering period started in 1886 and ended right after World War II. The single translation it produced bore the hallmarks of mass schooling and the set of values championed by the fledgling Third Republic. The expansion period, spanning the second half of the twentieth century, was characterized by the geopolitical context of the Cold War, the advent of the figure of the teenager, and the rise of the leisure society. Currently, the field is in a consolidating period brought about by the “centennial fever” spurred by the anniversary of Mark Twain’s death. Taking stock of the novel’s canonized status in its home country, publishers endeavored to focus on the original’s esthetic challenges and hired translators with expertise in nineteenth-century American literature and Mark Twain’s writings. They were able to pay even greater attention to the novel’s literary finesse and complexity. The first part of this article is devoted to the pioneering and expansion periods, based on previous scholarship. The second part is devoted to the consolidating period based on the latest findings presented in Véronique Channaut’s 2019 study of three major retranslations of Huckleberry Finn.

동양사상에 나타나는 관광의 의미와 현대적 시사점

Since Corona Pandemics swept the world society, the world has faced unprecedented barriers. The experience of travel, communication, and exchange being suppressed may be the first scene we face since the historical development of tourism brought about by the process of human civilization and the development of transportation. Nowadays, when capitalistic development locks and constrains human social relationships and life within the boundaries of capital, we think about another meaning of tourism and travel through Corona.<BR> Tourism is bound to be formed based on the history or culture of the society. Also, society and culture have their own historical characteristics. The form or trend of tourism is a phenomenon and a distinct social fact. This is why we should pay attention to the unique phenomena of society and culture in the study of tourism. Therefore, since all forms of tourism are shaped by the socio-cultural situation, conditions, and historical conditions, it has its own meaning to look at the principles and attitudes of daily life and life of Koreans to understand the tourism phenomenon.<BR> The issue of leisure, culture, and tourism is one of the key topics of interest in traditional leisure and cultural sociology, but the discussion of the oriental traditions, traditional culture, and principles of daily life is only a literary level. Here we attempt a poetic approach to the meaning of leisure society and tourism in modern society through the application of oriental perspectives and sociological theories.

Artificial Intelligence for a Fair, Just, and Equitable World

From the 1970s onward, we started to dream of the leisure society in which, thanks to technological progress and consequent increase in productivity, working hours would be minimized and we would all live in abundance. We all could devote our time almost exclusively to personal relationships, contact with nature, sciences, the arts, playful activities, and so on. Today, this utopia seems more unattainable than it did then. Since the 21st century, we have seen inequalities increasingly accentuated: of the increase in wealth in the United States between 2006 and 2018, adjusted for inflation and population growth, more than 87% went to the richest 10% of the population, and the poorest 50% lost wealth [1] . Following the crisis of 2008, social inequalities, rights violations, planetary degradation, and the climate emergency worsened and increased (see [2] ). In 2019, the world’s 2153 billionaires had more wealth than 4.6 billion people [3] . The World Bank estimates that COVID-19 will push up to 150 million people into extreme poverty [4] .

War memorials, between propaganda and history: Mleeta Landmark and Hezbollah

ABSTRACT War memorials have been historically used as propaganda tools that facilitated the creation of a collective memory about past actions. With the rise of the society of leisure and gamification, new strategies to reach these goals seem to be developing. With this in mind we study the case of Mleeta Landmark, built in Lebanon as a theme park to commemorate Hezbollah’s role in the 2006 war against Israel. To do this, we analyse the usage, history and main characteristics of war memorials. With this information, we outline the existence of a new hybrid model in Mleeta, which combines an original family-oriented vision with the traditional memorial’s role. It possesses many museum features, such as multi-lingual guides, and those of a memorial, with abundant military elements. This convergence is a unique example of propaganda and historical recreation oriented towards the viewer and embodies the contradictions within Hezbollah itself, both a religious, political and military group.

PANDEMIC OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY:

The second half of the twentieth century - the era of the scientific and technological revolution, which brought a powerful rise in technocratic and scientist ideas, followed by the development of concepts of the information society, industrial society and post-industrial society. These concepts are specified in the theories of a consumption society, a leisure society, a technotron, technocratic and computerized society. The aim of the study is to consider the concept of technological determinism, which is considered panacea for all social diseases. The article reveals the main reason for the global crisis 2020. The study also determines that scientific and technological progress creates objective grounds for social progress, but, unfortunately, is not able to solve global problems at present. From the author's point of view, these problems themselves are determined not so much by the development of science and technology as by the form of ownership of the means of production. The era of scientific and technological revolution that

El artículo plantea la paradójica situación de una exposición cuyo fracaso puede consistir en que no se vea lo que se pretende por interposición de una forma de mirar estandarizada que hace invisible la lectura propuesta. El problema puede no ser exclusivo de un sector como el diseño, sino pandémico. Se intenta explicar por su dependencia de la estetización de la sociedad, propia de la situación llamada postmoderna, en la que la omisión del sentido histórico pervierte de manera ideológica el lenguaje, incluso, o sobre todo, el de la visión. La percepción original se ha transformado en visión estética, según la ideología de la una sociedad del ocio y de la emoción, que ha impuesto su hegemonía.

COLONIAL ITINERARIES: MUHAMMADU DIKKO'S METROPOLITAN ADVENTURES

AbstractIn 1921 and 1924 Muhammadu Dikko, the emir of Katsina, traveled to Britain on a sightseeing trip, becoming the first emir or chief from Northern Nigeria to visit the British imperial metropole. This article analyzes the colonial relationship that put Dikko in the colonizers’ orbit and favor and paved the way for him to embark on the trips, the colonial logistics and networks that facilitated the journeys, Dikko's experiences and adventures in Britain, and, most importantly, his perspectives on British society, institutions, goods, and forms of leisure. I argue that Dikko, though constrained by serving as a prop in a colonial performance of power, used travel to Britain as a platform to advance metropolitan modernity as an aspirational if distant model of socioeconomic advancement and to give his peers and subjects in Northern Nigeria a textual reference for navigating colonial culture in relation to their own natal Islamo-Hausa cultural norms.

"日本における余暇社会の実現可能性 －労働と余暇のバランスの観点から－"

本研究では、日本社会において労働と余暇のバランスのために具体的にどのよう な政策が実行されているのか、また今後余暇社会のために必要な対策は何かを具体 的に考察し、余暇社会の実現可能性について検討した。研究目的を明らかにするた め、本研究では余暇の意味や機能、日本社会において余暇がどのように捉えられて きたのかを労働との関係から概観した。また、日本の労働時間の現状および労働と 余暇のバランスの実現に関連する政策について考察した。さらに、日本の休暇制度 の特徴と特別休暇を導入している企業の取り組み事例を分析した。その結果、日本はワーク・ライフ・バランスや働き方改革の推進によって様々な 政策が実行されているものの、依然として長時間労働や有給休暇取得率の低さ等の 問題が存在していることがわかった。また、日本企業は夏季休暇や病気休暇の特別 休暇を多く導入していることから、今後は自己啓発や家族生活への充実、地域・社 会貢献できる特別休暇を積極的に導入することが求められる。さらに、労働と余暇 のバランスを実現するために、政府は労働と余暇に関連する具体的な対策案を提示 し、企業側は企業の特性や実情にあった労働時間の体制と休暇を導入することが必 要である。今後は勤怠状況の見える化による労働状況を把握し、多様な休暇制度の 導入、有給休暇を使用できる職場環境づくりを醸成することが重要である。ただ、 自由に余暇活動ができる休暇時間が増えても、充実な余暇を過ごせない人も存在す るため、余暇教育の実施と余暇を支援する様々な体制作り、個々人が休暇による余 暇観を確立し、自分にふさわしい余暇を発見することも大事である。最後に、今後、日本社会は政府や企業、労働者の努力と実践によって労働と余暇 が互いに良い影響を与える好循環が成立できれば、余暇社会への移行は可能である と考えられる。

‘Syncopated Nerves’: Jazz and the Pathology of Modern Youth in Noël Coward's 1920s Theatre

This paper explores the intersection of jazz culture and popular discourse on nervous disorders in Britain in the 1920s through Noël Coward's plays and revues. In the wake of the First World War, a popular view emerged that the nation was suffering from a form of collective shell-shock – that nervous disorders or ‘nerves’ had never been more rampant and the population never more vulnerable to nervous breakdown. At the same time, anxieties surfaced about American jazz culture and its influence on British youth. The result was a pathologized youth culture that became emblematic of a nation in decline. Several of Coward's early works from the 1920s – specifically, his play The Vortex (1924) and his popular revues On with the Dance (1924–25) and This Year of Grace! (1928) – participate in linking jazz culture with the nervous symptoms of an unhealthy era. However, rather than reinforcing normative judgments that cast jazz or youth culture as the cause of the nation's nervous instability, Coward uses nervous symptoms to characterize a sensitive, vulnerable younger generation that is floundering because the older generation, particularly the leisured Society set, has failed to provide a stable moral foundation at a time of national distress.

City profile: Innsbruck

Located amidst the European Alps, the Austrian city of Innsbruck has developed from a small Roman settlement into a centre for the House of Habsburg. Today the self-styled “Capital of the Alps”—host to the Winter Olympics in 1964 and 1976—is a vibrant urban region that aims to valorize the mountains to face the post-Fordist competition between urban centres. The present article traces the urban development of Innsbruck, from Roman times to the present, focusing on the age of post-Fordism and globalization. Looking beyond the administrative boundaries of the core city, data on land cover and demographic conditions for the whole urban region of Innsbruck is described and explained. Next, the pivotal role that tourism and, in particular, cable cars have been playing in the urban development of Innsbruck since the late 1920s, is analysed and linked with ongoing trends in place branding. From both internal and external perspectives, Innsbruck is shown as promoting itself as an Alpine-urban city that provides a postmodern leisure society with optimal conditions for work and leisure at different altitudinal zones. The increasingly urbanized high-mountain environment is becoming a core element of the place brand of Innsbruck.
