Bücher der Reihe Emerald Studies in Deviant Leisure

This book examines the contradictions surrounding popular lifestyle sports such as parkour and freerunning and their exclusion from our hyper-regulated city centres. The author combines ethnographic data and complex theory to move beyond tropes of resistance and acknowledge and explain the paradox of parkour against a backdrop of late-capitalism.

This book uses a series of case studies from the 'wave ofterror across Europe' to rethink the relationships between harm, crime,deviance, leisure and capitalism.
