It frames and works with the multiple contradictions within the extant literature as productive rather than prohibitive, thereby encouraging collaboration across discrepancies as well as across disciplines. It incorporates new materials and perspectives to research on flow, including aesthetic theory, new materialism, more-than-human geographies, and critical development geographies to broaden the theoretical and empirical landscape of future flow scholarship. It also digs more deeply into pre-existing areas of interest within flow research than has been done before, for example, with respect to ‘dark’ flow, ‘flowability’ and (tele)presence, to facilitate more nuanced engagement with such terms. It takes a step back from the detailed empirical work that characterizes most current flow research to pose questions as to how such divergent, even contradictory, findings can emerge from scholarship on a supposedly universal experience that is purportedly robustly constructed, and whether this contrariness is necessarily problematic or emblematic of flow itself and therefore worthy of conceptual elaboration. Finally, it evokes global scale and long-term critical perspectives on the future evolution of flow to counteract the presentism within existing work that emphasizes immediate gains (e.g., performance, wellbeing, profit), in an attempt to pre-empt the worst ramifications of the progressive commodification and strategization of flow. This innovative book is of interest to scholars from a range of fields, from psychology, to business and human resource management, leisure studies, and critical human geography. 0aPositive psychology. 0aWell-being.959309 0aHuman geography.958506 0aSociology.957193 0aLeisure. 0aCritical theory.95808314aPositive Psychology.24aWell-Being.95930924aHuman Geography.95850624aLeisure Studies.24aCritical Theory.9580832 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303170332408iPrinted edition:z978303170334808iPrinted edition:z978303170335540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-70333-1  aZDB-2-BSP  aZDB-2-SXBP  c64632d64632
