Abstract
Phenomenological study of leisure is an important source for information on the meaning of leisure in everyday life. While some easing of attitudes has occurred, regarding the legitimacy of subject-centred research, and articles and papers appear to substantiate the utility of phenomenological approaches to study leisure, the argument is made that leisure researchers lag behind colleagues in other social sciences in conveying intersubjectivity in their research reports. Analysis of the process of becoming subjectively informed is illustrated with documentation and research findings.Keywords
