Disneyfication

The term Disneyfication (also Disneyization) describes the transformation of a society to resemble the theme parks of the Walt Disney corporation. The latter term appears in Andre Kehoe's 1991 book, "Christian Contradictions and the World Revolution": "This bogus culture imposed hour after hour on the people by the media is a serious interference with free thinking and therefore free action. It is part of what Peter K Fallon of New York University, in an admirable phrase, calls the Disneyisation of society." The phrase later appears in Sharon Zukin's book, The Cultures of Cities (1996:128), and was popularized by Alan Bryman in a 2004 book, The Disneyization of Society. Disneyfication of urban space is explored in Jeff Ferrell's Tearing Down the Streets: Adventures in Urban Anarchy. Social
