ABSTRACT

Using fictional expression, this special issue provokes visions of leisure that are not immediately accessible to empirical analysis, but which nevertheless compel the exercise of our moral imagination. Echoing Pinker's (2012) arguments, we contend that fictional expression opens our imagination to previously inaccessible spaces, and allows our speculative faculties to extend empirical knowledge to situations that lie beyond personal experience and conventional research questions. Drawing on Bruner's (1986) explication of paradigmatic and narrative ways of knowing, the special issue recruits readers as co-creators in the psychic narrative of leisure that lies beyond the literal words on the page.

摘要

使用虚构的表达方式，这个特刊激发了休闲的愿景，这些愿景无法立即通过实证分析获得，但仍然迫使我们发挥道德想象力。与平克 (2012) 的论点相呼应，我们认为虚构的表达打开了我们对以前无法进入的空间的想象力，并允许我们的思辨能力将经验知识扩展到超出个人经验和传统研究问题的情况。借鉴布鲁纳 (1986) 对范式和叙事方式的解释，特刊将读者作为休闲心理叙事的共同创造者，这超出了页面上的字面意思。
