Speaking of the Underrepresented Other: Looking beyond Dogs and Horses

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Leisure Studies in a Global Era ((LSGE))

Abstract

Up until this point the book has been focused on dogs and horses in the leisure experience. This focus arguably reflects the dominant position of these animals in the leisure of humans. However, it hides the fact that a vast array of other domesticated animals exist in the leisure experience, and that they do so in a plethora of ways. The aim of this chapter is to begin to shed some light on these diversities and in doing so to encourage research into some largely unexplored corners. Consequently, this is very much a scoping chapter, one that highlights the potential for research, rather than being constructed around a specific research project or narrowly defined issue.
