Parkour, Deviance and Leisure in the Late-Capitalist City: An Ethnography - Emerald Studies in Deviant Leisure
Raymen, Thomas (University of Plymouth, UK)
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.
