This article is based on the analysis of Sebastian De Grazia’s Of Time, Work, and Leisure, in which the author investigates these aspects in the American society of the early 1960’s. The objective was to reflect on leisure, consumption, and cultural industry and their relation to the youth’s universe. To do so, several dialogs were established between De Grazia’s work and those of authors who approached such subjects. According to De Grazia, in order to leisure regain its privileged space and to allow one to someday speak of a society of leisure, it is necessary that humanity frees itself from the bonds of machines as determinant factors of how the individuals occupy their time and live their lives. It is also evidenced the possibility of debating the relations between leisure and youth, consumption and cultural industry.Downloads
