AN EXPLORATION OF THE “INVITATION DAY” AS A LEISURE ACTIVITY WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF CONSPICUOUS LEISURE AND CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION GÖSTERİŞÇİ BOŞ ZAMAN VE GÖSTERİŞÇİ TÜKETİM KAPSAMINDA “GÜN” BOŞ ZAMAN AKTİVİTESİNİN ARAŞTIRILMASI
Leisure is gradually becoming an important element for the quality of life with a vast number of activities. A great number of leisure pursuits are known to exist but studies have indicated that women’s leisure in Turkey is predominantly home-centered. Among the most common leisure activities of women in Turkey are visits to friends, relatives and neighbors, and participation in so-called “invitation days”. The “invitation day” is a highly popular leisure activity in which women come together and spend time at their homes, mostly at the weekends. The aim of this study is to examine invitation days as a home-based leisure activity in terms of conspicuous leisure and consumption. For this aim, in-depth interviews were conducted and six themes - knowledge display, family praise, home arrangements, physical appearance, benevolent contribution, and menu and food service - emerged in the context of conspicuous leisure and consumption.
