Abstract

This essay will present a reflection on leisure, and the characteristics of contemporary society, illustrating some of the constitutive aspects of contemporary society, such as the desecration of the sacred, the process of rationalization of the world and the commodification of relationships, to develop a definition of leisure. The pleasure, therefore, is a way of knowing the world and its main feature is the free time with fun, playfulness and pleasure. This initial design will be confronted with the issues presented in the film Drained, seeking to highlight aspects such as laziness, guilt and a linear conception of time. Finally, the paper attempts to point out the theoretical contributions of this confrontation between leisure, perceived in the contemporary, and the film in question.
