Özet

This paper argues for the necessity of reclaiming the 'right to leisure' from a Lefebvrean perspective. The right to leisure is an under-studied concept in both human rights and leisure studies literature. While the 'reductionist' human rights approaches categorise it as a 'not so essential' human right, leisure studies are primarily interested in how inequalities occur in leisure settings within specific societies. Drawing on a Marxist framework, Lefebvre locates leisure in the centre of a new, radical understanding of citizenship which is substantially outlined in his concept of the 'right to the city'. This article argues that an unalienating form of leisure, which centralises creative agency and qualitative use of time and space, is both a reason and an outcome of the right to the city. In this sense, the emancipatory leisure ideal cannot be separated from an emancipatory notion of citizenship.
