The Last Battlefield of the Cold War. From Reform-Oriented Leisure Studies to Sociological Research on the “Socialist Lifestyle” in Czechoslovakia, 1950s-1989
Original language description
This chapter explores the history of leisure studies in socialist Czechoslovakia. The first section discusses the establishment of leisure studies in the 1960s. Of special interest is the research agenda of reform-oriented sociology, most importantly its critique of normative conceptualizations of leisure in industrial societies. The next section analyzes the development of sociological studies of socialist lifestyle after 1968. This new research included the suppression of earlier reform-oriented scholarship and sought to connect sociology to policy-making in the post-reformist period. The last section describes how in the 1980s, sociological studies of socialist lifestyle and related scholarship became objects of sharp critique. This chapter contributes to the broader transnational history of the social sciences in the Cold War era by emphasizing the relevance of the Cold War as a salient political and ideological context for understanding the interrelated stories of reform-oriented research on leisure and sociological work on the socialist lifestyle.
