This work provides an overview of the Disney organization, in
particular the theme parks and their significance for contemporary
culture. The author examines topics such as Walt Disney's life and
how his biography has been constructed, the Disney Company in the
years after his death and various writings about the Disney theme
parks. He raises important issues about the parks such as: whether
they are harbringers of postmodernism; the significance of
consumption at the parks; and the representation of past and
future. The discussion of theme parks links with the presentation
of Disney's biography and his organization by showing how central
economic and business considerations have been in their development
and how the significance of these considerations is typically
marginalized in order to place an emphasis on fantasy and magic.
