Abstract

This book explores the relationship between tourism and the moving image, from the early era of silent moving pictures through to cinema as mass entertainment. It examines how our active and emotional engagement with moving images provides meaning and connection to a place that can affect our decision-making when we travel. It also analyses how our touristic experiences can inform our film-viewing. A range of genres and themes are studied including the significance of the western, espionage, road and gangster movies, along with further study of film studio theme parks and an introduction to the relationship between gaming and travel. This book will appeal to tourism scholars as well as film studies professionals, and is written in an accessible manner for a general audience.

Abstract

La diffusione contemporanea dell'atteggiamento progettuale che procede per assegnazione di temi, nel disegno dei luoghi e delle singole architetture, rende utile ragionare sull'oggetto parco tematico che ne rappresenta l'esempio pi&ugrave; puro. Questo significa specificatamente interrogarsi sul rapporto fra elemento naturale, architettura e simbolo: appare carico di conseguenze affrontare l'argomento con lo sguardo del paesaggista, domandarsi di quale paesaggio si tratti e cosa comporti progettarlo. &egrave; una questione di architettura del paesaggio nel suo senso pi&ugrave; proprio e nelle sue forme pi&ugrave; estreme.

Abstract

Being a special kind of landscape, the theme park has become one of major subjects in interdisciplinary studies and received increasing scholarly attention in the past few decades. Perspectives have varied from American approaches which treat the theme park as the production base of the American Dream to various interpretation of the tourist space in semiotic, structural and post-modernistic approaches. Other studies of the theme park have been conducted in a practical way with a focus in eco...

Abstract

The study investigates the cultural production of the visual iconography of popular pleasure grounds from the eighteenth century pleasure garden to the contemporary theme park. Deborah Philips identifies the literary genres, including fairy tale, gothic horror, Egyptiana and the Western which are common to carnival sites, tracing their historical transition across a range of media to become familiar icons of popular culture.Though the bricolage of narratives and imagery found in the contemporary leisure zone has been read by many as emblematic of postmodern culture, the author argues that the
