This longitudinal study examines gendered experiences and practices of leisure at architect designed second homes in New Zealand, through an analysis of written and visual discourse in an architecture and lifestyle magazine over a period of 80 years. The identified themes were persistent over the 80 years, but the discourses evolved through time and indicate the socio-cultural context in which they were written. The findings suggest that although the opportunity to imagine a ‘life lived differently’ exists at the second home, for the second homeowners featured in the magazine articles at least, this does not extend to gender relations. This may be in part due to the very nature of the second home, whereby it is difficult to escape the deeply ingrained gender ideologies associated with home/work, productive/reproductive dichotomies.pp.575-589en© 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Groupleisuregendersecond homesmedia representationsinequalityJournal Article10.1080/02614367.2019.16100341466-4496ANZSRC::3508 TourismANZSRC::4406 Human geographyANZSRC::4410 Sociology
