	[BOOK 165] (VARIOUS AUTHORS): THEME PARK LANDSCAPES, ANTECEDANTS AND VARIATIONS. [2002] (18x26cm - 300 Pages - Few B&W photos). The prevalence and influence of “Theming” increased so dramatically during the 1990s that theme parks have become a metaphor for postmodern urban life. In particular, critics apply the term “Disneyfication” to any landscape developed to communicate with several audiences, especially when that communication is an attempt to stimulate and direct consumption. The origins, divergence and significance of theme parks are only beginning to be understood. Most scholars agree that sixteenth - nineteenth century European gardens were their major progenitors. How did they enter into mass culture? Why are they so popular? How are they connected to the social order? What functions do they serve? This book examines current and past, private and public, obviously and subtly themed landscapes in Asia, Europe, and North America, in response to these and other questions.
