CFP for the session Gambling and problem gambling in time and space at the SNSUS conference on gambling and problem gambling in Tampere (Finland) June 3-5, 2019

GAMBLING AND PROBLEM GAMBLING IN TIME AND SPACE

In the Western history, gambling has been a controversial form of leisure activity and consumption. Yet people have enjoyed gambling in different social classes (e.g. aristocracy, working class) and in various spaces (e.g. casinos, public houses, home, street). For a long time, gambling was defined as a masculine activity, but many women have been active on the gambling scene as gamblers and organizers of gambling events. Problem gambling has always existed, but it was not understood as a social problem until its medicalization. Today gambling is a mainstream leisure activity, and its harmful impact on individuals and societies is known.

The aim of the session is to discuss gambling as an activity and problem gambling as a social problem taking place in time and in certain spaces. We welcome presentations that examine gambling and problem gambling in historical and contemporary periods and in actual or in virtual spaces. We are also interested in how media has represented gambling and problem gambling in relation to time, space, gender, ethnicity and social class. Following research questions can help in the elaboration of the presentation: What has changed in gambling spaces over time? How has the Internet changed the spatial constructions of gambling? How the perception of problem gambling has changed over the time? Are some spaces more addictive than others? Are some spaces more gendered and ethnicized than others?
