I don't know this literature, would I be right to see these as M-C-M' time vs C-M-C time

Similarly, the life of adventure is then the life of the socially self-reflexive production and pursuit of use-values as the means and ends of species being? And boredom is the asocial, commodified and alienated/anomic life of modern capitalism writ large?
