Living with Mickey: In Search of the Boundaries of the Theme Park
This paper examines the placement of the notion of theme park today, and its implications for the built environment. Examples are explored which contain insight into what may constitute the definition of theme park, and discussed with a view towards establishing a useful distinction between the real and the fake. This paper posits the assertion that the meaningful environment, and thus the meaningful life, is in the process of erosion and is being replaced by nothing more significant than a Mickeynized version of living, that the gates have opened and we are now on the inside looking out.
