Resumen

Este artigo analisa representações da experiência de lazer de personagens jovens pertencentes às classes trabalhistas da Escócia, nos romances Trainspotting e Cola, de Irvine Welsh, considerando o contexto histórico em que as narrativas se situam: a era Thatcher. Tal experiência, em meio a uma realidade de diminuição do estado de bem-estar, escassez de oportunidades e desemprego em massa, é atravessada por dois fatores: escapismo, evidenciado pelo uso de heroína; e violência, evidenciado pelo abuso de álcool e por disputas de torcidas organizadas de clubes de futebol, o chamado hooliganismo. Busco demonstrar de que forma as políticas do governo Thatcher, assim como o pensamento e agenda neoliberais por ela seguidos, são representados como fator relevante para moldar a experiência de lazer da juventude de classes menos favorecidas da Escócia nos romances selecionados.
