Theming Asia: Culture, Nature and Heritage in a Transforming
Environment presents a theoretical, thematic and empirical
examination of theming, theme parks and themed spaces in
contemporary Asia. Drawing on cases from China, Hong Kong, Japan,
Kazakhstan, Malaysia and Singapore, it details how the
proliferation of theming in places of consumption, education,
entertainment and everyday life has shaped the social and spatial
terrains of modern-day Asia. This is done largely through the
radical transformation of ideas of culture, nature and heritage - a
theoretical and empirical area that warrants urgent and dedicated
scholarly inquiry. Providing an innovative study of theme parks and
themed spaces in contemporary Asia, this publication highlights the
critical role of theming in the making, ordering, branding, as well
as contestation of cultural, natural and heritage places. The
intersections of these processes are foregrounded within the
context of Disneyization, the experience economy, imagineered
spaces and debates over authenticity and superficiality. A diverse
range of case studies, as well as a general theoretical
introduction, give much room for revisiting and reimagining issues
of culture and nature in a transforming Asia. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Tourism Geographies.
