The new human development paradigm rests on the human and cultural capital of peoples and revolves around the challenge of increasing the well-being and happiness of people. Therefore, leisure understood in today’s societies as one of the key means to feel good, satisfied with life and reaffirmed in the pursuit of a meaning for life, seems to be ultimately called to play a key role in promoting human development processes. The contents of this book are a good proof of it. Each chapter focuses on a different approach, discipline or group and highlights the potential of leisure experiences for human development. This book is an invitation to reflection and thought on issues that, far from being irrelevant, have a bearing on people's future, in terms of happiness, well-being and quality of life. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that future leisure develops under the guidelines of a leisure that contributes to human development.

This important Research Handbook offers a comprehensive analysis of the intersections between intellectual property (IP) and cultural heritage law. It explores and compares how both have evolved and sometimes converged over time, how they increased tremendously in significance, as well as in economic value, despite the fact that the former mainly pertains to the private sphere, whilst the latter is considered a ‘common good’.
This book is an original and international work that seeks to impart new perspectives on leisure studies, based on interdisciplinary dialogues that are, for the first time, brought together and made available in English. The present volume presents new perspectives on critical leisure theories, as well as an interdisciplinary perspective on leisure studies, departing from the traditional theoretical and practical viewpoint, with a political focus and in dialogue with fields of study such as politics, education, philosophy, urban space and others. The book differs from the most common approaches on leisure by presenting new theoretical and practical perspectives on leisure stemming from different realities in countries such as Brazil and Portugal, considering different aspects of each place and taking into account leisure as a political practice.
Art museums today face the challenge of opening themselves up as institutions to a changing society. This publication offers new perspectives on museological trends that are developing in various countries and cultures. Through increasingly flexible, inclusive and unexpected museum typologies, institutions aim to give their visitors greater access to art. The essays define the role of the museum as a medium of social change, as a protagonist in an education process and as a technologically innovative platform. Art historians, but also practitioners from the museum world – including curators, architects and psychologists – examine what is expected of art museums using case studies and against the background of the humanities and social sciences.

¿Qué es un experiencia de ocio estético? ¿En qué consiste? ¿Cuáles son sus rasgos principales? ¿Esta experiencia es valiosa? ¿Bajo qué condiciones? Ocio estético valioso intenta dar respuesta a estas preguntas relacionando la teoría del Ocio y la Estética. Con el apoyo constante de obras de arte, analiza la especificidad de la experiencia de ocio estético, sus rasgos esenciales y los valores desde el punto de vista creativo y recreador. El ocio estético se muestra como un ámbito de experiencias valiosas para la persona y la sociedad porque desarrolla capacidades específicamente humanas, despliega la dimensión ética y abre un horizonte de posibilidades en la apreciación y disfrute de la belleza.
Este libro ahonda, desde diferentes perspectivas, el sentido e influencia que tiene el ocio en la sociedad actual: ámbitos de actuación, colectivos, iniciativas, etc. Se trata de una obra que, si bien evoca temas ya conocidos en los Estudios de Ocio: ocio y jóvenes, ocio e inclusión, arte y patrimonio, ocio y vida cotidiana, etc., no deja de formular propuestas y conclusiones renovadas, de gran interés para las y los investigadores del área. Su contenido se estructura en tres bloques: el primero de ellos, dedicado a investigaciones relacionadas con la juventud. El segundo bloque aglutina trabajos relacionados con el arte, los medios de comunicación y el patrimonio. Por último, el tercer bloque recoge varios trabajos relacionados con las políticas de inclusión y ejemplos de intervenciones prácticas en el área de la inclusión social y el ocio.

The Journal of Cultural Management and Cultural Policy offers international perspectives on a wide range of issues in cultural management and cultural policy research and practice. This issue looks at the effects political upheavals and processes of social transformation have on the conditions for cultural production, dissemination, education, policy, and management. The transfer from one political party to another, even when it occurs through legitimate political processes, can mean the difference between funding and lack of funding, restrictive versus liberal policies, or freedom of expression and censorship. The 1989 transformations in Central and Eastern Europe are one example among many others. Current upheavals in many countries have major implications for cultural management and politics given that artistic autonomy is at risk or already restricted with the potential to fundamentally reorder the cultural field. The contributors confront and reflect upon instances of political upheaval and social change that have had a pronounced effect on the arts.
