The Restructuring of Free Time in 1980s Communist Romania. The Case of the 23rd August Works
Journal Title: Martor. The Museum of the Romanian Peasant Anthropology Review - Year 2012, Vol 17, Issue 17
Abstract
This paper represents an analysis of the nature, contextualization, and implications of the phenomenon of time restructuring in the industrial sector in late communist Romania in the context of difficult economic circumstances. These temporal modifications resulted from a channeling of resources and labour into various industrial activities that served to alter workers’ control over their own free time.
