摘要:This paper provides elements for discussions on leisure (both as locus and object) resulting from an ethnographic work conducted with a group of women. It aimed at understanding how their team was sustained and remained committed to the Women’s Volleyball Master League in Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. Firstly, we discuss the notion of time and the obligation-based logic that opposes leisure to other dimensions of daily life. Afterwards, we debate “attitudes” that take on adjectives related to seriousness. We found that daily negotiations blurred boundaries between dimensions and also placed that leisure as space/time “taken seriously”.
