Grounded in fieldwork set among networks of Indian hobbyists in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and the Czech Republic, this ethnography analyzes this contemporary practice of serious leisure with respect to the general human desire for play, metaphor, and allusion. It provides insights into the increasing popularity of reenactment practices as they relate to a deeper understanding of human perception, imagination, and creativity.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 572gAuthor: Petra Tjitske KalshovenGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, History, Language & ReferenceRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
