In our last module we ended with the example of cosplay" as a form of play connected to fan culture that people of all ages participate in. We can also use this example to talk about what leisure theorist robert stebbins has called serious leisure", or the serious leisure perspective. His theory categorizes people"s leisure pursuits based on their level of investment and commitment. He proposed that one"s investment in different leisure pursuits might exist on a sort of spectrum or scale. He classified leisure as either; casual", project based" or serious" (also outlined on page 5-6 of your text).
