Leisure and Entertainment as a Creative Space-Time Manifold in a Post-Modern World
Abstract
The postmodern overcoming of linear rational reasoning of the modernity creates a new world of deeper understanding and better implementing myth and fairy tale. Today, neither the labor behavior nor the consumer preferences are determined with the classical economic and mathematical models of price. The money (wage for labor or costs for goods and services) is no more able to play the key role in motivating a choice or an effort. The essential factor is the impression, feeling, miracle, and their contribution for defining the identity of the actor, his or her personality. The virtual space is a tool to discover the real internal universe of human beings, including the creative competence, novelty, and innovation. Leisure and entertainment are necessary for this seeking of the human being essence – as actor, creator, and consumer. The chapter is designed to help one understand the real motivation of actors in a post-industrial sector.
