Lefebvre - Work and Leisure in everyday life

Lefebvre – Work and Leisure in Everyday Life


Work leads us to seek escape from the monotony of daily life through ‘leisure’. Lefebvre sees acts of leisure as distractions that become a form of compensation for our monotonous work. Considering this, it is clear that Leisure cannot be separated from work. He says, “we work to earn leisure and leisure has only one meaning to get away from work”. But is leisure even possible under contemporary capitalism, and given the contemporary nature of work?

These themes are central to our project and therefore our essay – Lefebvre will come in very handy when writing the latter.

today was great!
