from pseudo-events to hyperfestivity?

Richards, G. (2010). Leisure in the network society: from pseudo-events to hyperfestivity?. Tilburg: Tilburg University.

Inaugural address given at the public acceptance of the appointment of Professor in Leisure Studies at Tilburg University on October 8th 2010 by Prof.dr. Greg Richards. This brief review considers why events have become so important in contemporary society and how events and other leisure phenomena are shaped by the network society. This analysis is placed against a background of developments in research in the leisure field, and considers how we might best organise our research efforts to study the changing nature of leisure in contemporary society.
