Disney-ality and forgetfulness

the eu-topia of a consolatory place

Elena Moreddu

pp. 107-132

Abstract

The mystique of any place (sacred, magical or simply romantic) is managed by practices intended to exert control over its "reality claims". […] Under what circumstances do we think things are real? The important thing about reality, … is our sense of its realness in contrast to our feeling that some things lack this quality. One can then ask under what conditions such a feeling is generated, and this question speaks to a small, manageable problem having to do with the camera and not what it is the camera takes pictures of (Caron 1993, p. 126).
