Abstract
In many north-western European countries, the family practices of drinking and eating used to be largely located in the private domain of the home. This situation has recently begun to change, particularly in gentrified urban areas where middle-class families are growing in number and family outings in bars and restaurants are becoming more widespread. This paper examines the new practices of family consumption from two perspectives: the providers and the consumers. Entrepreneurs shape family-friendly spaces by reducing boundaries between eating, drinking and playing and by offering out-of-home pleasures in home-like environments for both parents and children. They balance between accommodating the families and retaining their childless clients. Families that consume in the food and drink spaces are primarily local middle-class families, and fathers and mothers equally participate. This study further reveals that leisure time spent with the family cannot always be classified as leisure time as a family. Parental involvement with the children differs. We distinguish leisured caring time with high parental involvement, own leisure time mainly directed at parents’ personal activities and social leisure time mainly directed at maintaining social relationships beyond the family. We discuss earlier research on the complicated character of family leisure related to the caring duties of parents. Empirical evidence comes from an exploratory study of ten consumption spaces in the inner city of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
在许多欧洲西北部国家，家庭的吃喝通常是在家里进行的。现在这种情况开始改变，特别是在一些中产阶级数码正在增长城市地区，家庭更多地去酒吧和餐馆。本文从供给者和消费者两个方面来检验了家庭消费的新行为。企业家通过减少吃喝娱乐等方面的界限来构建了家庭—朋友空间，他们为父母和孩子提供了类似于家庭环境的户外娱乐设施。 他们在给家庭提供住宿和挽留没有孩子的顾客之间寻求平衡。我们把家庭休闲时间定义为高度的父母投入、单独的休闲时间为父母各自的活动和社会休息时间为家庭社会关系的维持。我们之前讨论关于了家庭休息和父母看护职责之间的复杂性。并且通过探究在荷兰阿姆斯特丹内地的10个消费场所来得出实证。
