1919年的全国人民休闲会议标志着两次世界大战之间英国关于休闲的性质和目的的公共话语的出现。这一论述的一部分认为休闲是有问题的，因为新形式的大众和被动的娱乐，失业的“强制休闲”和正确使用休闲成为社会关注的领域。然而，敏锐的批评者将休闲概念化为一个社会领域，在这个领域中，通过民主的“新”休闲和利用休闲作为公民教育的工具，可以建立一个新的和更好的战后社会。休闲在当代社会调查中得到了广泛的记载，并成为地方社会服务委员会在发展新住宅区的社会生活和社区认同方面的价值。本文认为，一个新的本体论的休闲是伪造之间的战争作为维多利亚强调理性的娱乐和私人道德被取代的理解休闲作为一个社会产品的晚期现代性。
The National Conference on the Leisure of the People in 1919 marked the emergence of a public discourse on the nature and purpose of leisure in inter-war Britain. One strand of this discourse saw leisure to be problematic as new forms of mass and passive entertainment, the ‘enforced leisure’ of unemployment and the right use of leisure became areas of social concern. Perceptive critics, however, conceptualised leisure as a social sphere in which a new and better post-war society could be built through a democratic ‘new’ leisure and the use of leisure as a vehicle for education in citizenship. Leisure was widely documented in contemporary social surveys and became valued by local councils of social service in developing social life and community identity on new housing estates. This paper argues that a new ontology of leisure was forged between the wars as the Victorian emphasis on rational recreation and private morality was superseded by an understanding of leisure as a social product of late modernity.
