ABSTRACT

This study explores the in-betweenness and the temporal freedom in leisure and intercultural experiences, particularly in the outdoor setting of a sailing expedition. An ethnography study was conducted to explore the in-betweenness of liminoid leisure space and self-other interculturality during an EU-exchange tall ship sail-training voyage. The physical confinement of the sailing ship blurred the boundaries of the participants’ perceived and experiential leisure space, the pre-determined ship schedule and routines provided an unconventional sense of time fluidity, and the assembled socio-cultural diversity onboard formed a stage of unfamiliarity. The finding reveals that the spatial, temporal and relational features on a sailing ship enabled individuals to go through leisure hybridity together and co-negotiate meanings that promote diversity and understanding, participants’ perceived and temporal freedom and satisfaction, and relational harmony.

本研究探讨了休闲和跨文化体验中的中间性和时间自由，特别是在航海探险的户外环境中。进行了一项民族志研究，以探索欧盟交流高船航行训练航行期间类阈值休闲空间与自我-其他跨文化性之间的关系。帆船的物理限制模糊了参与者感知和体验的休闲空间的界限，预先确定的船期和惯例提供了一种非常规的时间流动感，船上社会文化多样性的聚集形成了一个陌生的阶段。研究结果表明，空间、
