Theme parks.
Mitrasinovic, Miodrag.

Theme parks.[electronic resource] - 378 p.

Chairman: William L. Tilson.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Florida, 1998.

Ironically, while rhetorically supplementing the normative expectations by being presented as a collective fantasy of escape and entertainment, the apparatus of the theme park is an ideal vehicle of social control due to its ability to spatialize social relations and instrumentalize space through the arrangement of seemingly indifferent technical procedures.

520 # $a The concern of this dissertation is four-fold: first, it is about the convergence of the physical environments of theme parks with the world of mass-media which fabricates consumer identities, fantasies and desires; second, it is about the construction of routes and material forms of leisure where the fantasies and desires can be satisfied, in other words the domain of the engineering of leisure; third, it is about the potential of theme parks as material forms to spatialize these fictuous socio-economic relationships and embody ideology as entertainment; and fourth, it is about construction and employment of the normative procedures of control by the instrumentalization of space, aimed at assuring the maximum economic efficiency of the theme park apparatus. The arrangement of the dissertation material is a reflection of the belief that the only way to understand these manifold processes is to expose the data that reveal not only the design aspect of theme parks, but also clearly present evidence of its economic, political, cultural and social capacity.
520 # $a This dissertation explores processes of material and cultural production of theme parks as heterotopian territories. The research begins by tracing back the origins of mass leisure, the notion of 'leisure society' and the related development of theme parks. The discussion is situated in the fissure between the realm of ideology within which leisure has been identified with pursuits of freedom and the realm of disciplinary control procedures embedded in the material forms of theme parks where a leisure conduit takes place. The decision to undertake this course of study came from a recognition that the social contract has institutionalized the category of leisure time whereas leisure theories have defined the political, social and cultural capacity of leisure; nevertheless, they have remedied neither the processes that organize leisure conduit on the level of a theme park nor the body of design, technical and managerial knowledge and procedures that organize the theme park as a material form.
