Abstract

This book analyses leisure choice as a complex concept, made more complicated in later life than at any other time. The author posits that there are many unanswered questions about the new booming generation of healthy, older people, and this book asks what it is really like to be old at the beginning of the 21st century in the United Kingdom, analysing leisure in older people in the context of the subtle politics of the day to day. Throughout the chapters, the author highlights the often missing depictions of older people who enjoy and enact bold, informed agency as part of their everyday lives. Drawing upon secondary data from the Mass Observation Archive, a social thesis of leisure and ageing emerges that challenges the individualism inherent in active ageing. It is proposed that the idea of active ageing creates complex constraints to leisure as people strive to measure up to cultural expectations. The stories in this book advocate for an appreciation and re-evaluation of passive leisure in later life, and the enjoyment and freedom it can bring. The project is therefore useful to students and researchers of leisure studies, gerontology and sociology of ageing. Tania Wiseman is Principal Lecturer in Occupational Therapy at the University of Brighton. Her research interest is in passive leisure in later life, and all the joy it brings.

Abstract

This book explores the representation of London's nightlife in popular films and newspapers of the interwar period. Through a series of case-studies, it analyses how British popular media in the 1920s and 1930s displayed the capital after dark. It argues that newspapers and films were part of a common culture, which capitalized on the transgressive possibilities of the night. At the same time both media ensured that those in authority, such as the police, were always shown to ultimately be in control of the night. The first chapter of the book provides an overview of the British film and newspaper industries in the interwar period. Subsequent chapters each explore a specific aspect of London's nightlife. In turn, these chapters consider how films and newspapers of the interwar period depicted women navigating the street at night; the Metropolitan Police's involvement in nightlife; and the capital's newly built and expanded suburbs and public transport network. Finally, the book considers how newspapers and films depicted themselves and one another. Mara Arts has completed a doctorate at Birkbeck, University of London. Her research focuses on mass culture in interwar Britain. In particular, she investigates the intersections between fiction film, tabloid journalism and popular culture. Her research has previously been included in London on Film, eds. Pam Hirsch and Chris O'Rourke (Palgrave, 2017). Mara regularly presents her research at a range of national and international conferences. In addition to her research activities, Mara also has several years' experience as a university lecturer, teaching film and media studies at undergraduate and postgraduate level. She currently works at Coventry University where she supports academic teams with curriculum development. Mara is passionate about increasing the visibility of British interwar history and maintains a weekly blog at www.interwarlondon.com.
