Beyond walking: The ritualistic nature of pandemic leisure
No full textRebecca Finkel - ORCID: 0000-0003-2120-6211
https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2120-62112020, the year of government sanctioned walking. This chapter examines the changing nature of leisure during COVID-19 restrictions, where walking outdoors has been the only option for leisure, exercise and/or socialisation. ‘Going for a walk’ has now acquired a new significance and, it can be argued, a ritualistic rhythm in our pandemic lives. It is arguably the purpose of rituals to maintain social order even through uncommon behaviour, and this can be seen to be the case during the pandemic through the practice of walking as rule-following. Yet, there are private transgressions to be found in publicly authorised leisure. Aligned with Gluckman’s (1963) conceptions of ‘rituals of rebellion’, where ritual is an expression of underlying social tensions (or, in the case of COVID-19, public health anxieties), walking can be seen as the ‘pressure valve’ that relieves such tensions through cyclical performances of daily leisure. Through in-depth interviews, we seek to gain understanding into the ritual of walking and what new individual and collective meanings are being formulated. By engaging in an activity perhaps once thought to be mundane, walking now can be experienced as a focal point providing structure to days of social isolation or quarantine, as liberation from the constraints of lockdown, as a change of scenery when travel is not allowed, as untypical socialisation from the pre-pandemic norm, as a welcome respite from family and caring responsibilities; thus, this type of leisure has emerged as a rather more complex and affective activity in these unprecedented times.https://www.routledge.com/pubpu
Transforming leisure in the pandemic: Re-imagining interaction and activity during crisis
No full textRebecca Finkel - ORCID: 0000-0003-2120-6211
https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2120-6211Item not available in this repository.There is no denying that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the ways we socialise during our leisure time. This edited collection aims to critically explore international leisure during the pandemic by seeking to understand how changes in leisure have led to transformations in the ways we have had to ‘do’ and ‘redo’ activities, such as incorporating digitalisation and distancing measures, as well as dealing with restrictions on social interaction, gatherings, and cultural activities. This has caused people worldwide to change their patterns of behaviour, especially when it comes to leisure experiences and the leisure environment, leading to critical re-evaluation of what leisure is and means in contemporary societies.https://www.routledge.com/pubpu
Post-humanist investigation into human-equine relations in event landscapes: Case of the Rodeo
No full textFinkel, Rebecca - ORCID 0000-0003-2120-6211
https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2120-6211Due to the increases in human leisure time, education, and affluence, animals are now incorporated into a range of recreational activities, which encourage and enable intra-active multi-species encounters in experiential environments. Framed in post-humanist theory, this chapter seeks to challenge the singular focus around human subjects, blurring boundaries between the human and nonhuman, looking beyond human agency and exploring the ‘more-than-human’ within the human-equine sporting event relationship. Focusing on a qualitative case study of the Austin Rodeo in Texas, USA, it is evident from this research how the boundaries and significant differences between humans and horses are challenged by the fluidity and interconnectedness of both species in rodeo performance spaces through increased knowledge, skill, and companionship. This has implications for the leisure, tourism, and events fields by repositioning animals as partners in the co-creation of cultural experiences.https://www.routledge.com/Accessibility-Inclusion-and-Diversity-in-Critical-Event-Studies/Finkel-Sharp-Sweeney/p/book/9780815350828https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781351142243pubpu

Volunteering and wellbeing:Case study of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games volunteer programmes
No full textRecent analyses of major sporting events and their legacies are evident; however, as with wide-ranging evaluations, the examination of these events is inclined to disregard the social dimension. This research evaluates the potential social legacy opportunity for Glasgow as a major event host city through its volunteer programmes. Specifically, it examines to what extent volunteering as part of a major sport event influences wellbeing. The participants’ thoughts and feelings about their experience of volunteering at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games was revealed using a self-reported, retrospective wellbeing scale – the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well Being Scale (WEMWBS). The use of the scale is intended to show how the participants feel about themselves pre- and post-Games as part of a volunteer programme. The findings suggest that wellbeing does increase and a one-off large event volunteer experience does have an impact on reported wellbeing levels, including confidence, optimism, and usefulness. Therefore, it is argued that volunteering might contribute to higher reported levels of wellbeing in both people with previous volunteering experience and non-volunteers. Considering the importance of legacy within major event literature, these findings propose an original insight into wider major event volunteer programmes’ potential social impacts and legacies
