The present work aims to carry out a theoretical review of the perspective of the liquid leisure approach. To discuss the concept of a liquid leisure, we have to take as a reference the ideas of liquid modernity coined by the polish thinker, Zygmunt Bauman. In order to enter the discussion of liquid leisure, we refer to the pioneering works of that discussion, the english researcher, Tony Blackshaw. We start from the premise that traditional approaches to the discussion of leisure are sufficient given the complexity and multidimensionality of leisure phenomena today. Nowadays, in a world of liquid modernity, problems can no longer be solved with the formulas of a solid modern world. The idea of modernity as a coherent and orderly whole falls apart. The world has become diverse and multiple as never before, a plural world where different existential possibilities exist.
