Out of this world: The amusement landscape and our escape to elsewhere.
Harris, Christina Rae.

Out of this world: The amusement landscape and our escape to elsewhere. - 108 p.

Adviser: Alan Tate.

Thesis (M.L.A.)--The University of Manitoba (Canada), 2002.

The question I would like to explore in this practicum is simply: how has the amusement landscape enabled us to experience ‘another world’? Fairs, festivals, gardens of delight, and amusement parks have for several centuries been the sites which have enabled us to encounter ‘elsewhere’. The means by which this transportation is achieved have varied, but it has consistently involved a blend of landscape, technology, ideology, and imagination.

520 $a The question I would like to explore in this practicum is simply: how has the amusement landscape enabled us to experience ‘another world’? Fairs, festivals, gardens of delight, and amusement parks have for several centuries been the sites which have enabled us to encounter ‘elsewhere’. The means by which this transportation is achieved have varied, but it has consistently involved a blend of landscape, technology, ideology, and imagination.
520 $a When ‘here’ and ‘elsewhere’ are taken together, the possibility of entertainment is introduced. Amusement lies not in the fact that a space is devoted to that function, but because there is another territory where other, more serious, matters predominate: “it is not a question of fixed areas being assigned a particular character, but of the bond between that territory and another, between a familiar country and another world” (Auricoste:483). As Jane Jacobs has said, the real world and the storied world are not mutually exclusive; they intertwine and are constitutive of each other.
520 $a The amusement park has been the site of exploration for various manifestations of ‘here’ and ‘elsewhere’. This includes class structures, social values, and geographical location, as well as utopian visions of alternate realities. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
