      abstract = {While abundant research has investigated time use, much  less attention has been given to the cultural meanings  attached to free time and what these may express with  regard to conceptions of freedom and the self. In an  attempt to fill this gap, Michelle Shir-Wise examines not  only what people do in their free time, but also how they  perceive, interpret and experience it, and in what way it  relates to notions of happiness, freedom and the ideal  self. Time, Freedom and the Self draws on contemporary  theoretical debates concerning the relation between  discourse, cultural repertoires, subjective meaning and  agency, as well as literature around the sociology of  leisure, to inform a unique interpretation of free time  ("disciplined freedom"), developed in the light of in-depth  questionnaires and interviews with middle-class,  middle-aged participants in suburban Israel.},
