Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. Fourth printing, 1998. 250pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread/unmarked, in Fine condition. "This entertaining and playful book views Disney World as much more than the site of an ideal family vacation. Blending personal meditations, interviews, photographs, and cultural analysis, INSIDE THE MOUSE looks at Disney World's architecture and design, its consumer practices, and its use of Disney characters and themes. This book takes the reader on an alternative ride through 'the happiest place on earth' while asking 'What makes this forty-three-square-mile theme park the quintessential embodiment of American leisure?' [] Turning away from the programmed entertainment that Disney presents, the authors take a peek behind the scenes of everyday experience at Disney World. In their consideration of the park as both private corporate enterprise and public urban environment, the authors focus on questions concerning the production and consumption of leisure. Featuring over fifty photographs and interviews with workers that strip 'cast members' of their cartoon costumes, this captivating work illustrates the high-pressure dynamics of the typical family vacation as well as a tour of Disney World that looks beyond the controlled facade of themed attractions." [publisher copy] "A very inviting combination of high theory and informal memoir, INSIDE THE MOUSE reworks some of the ground rules for writing cultural studies. Concentrating on issues of family, work, consumption, pleasure, and representation, it is original, highly thoughtful, and very engaging."--Eric Smoodin. "If you're not an unquestioning Disney fan, this peek into 'the happiest place on earth' is alternately illuminating, disturbing and, aptly, even a little goofy. Punctuated by Karen Klugman's photographs, the Project on Disney (Klugman and Jane Kuenz, Shelton Waldrep and Susan Willis of Duke University) offer anecdotes from their trips to Disney World before riffing on such trendy cultural-studies topics as Foucaultian surveillance, mall culture, tourism, postmodern architecture and the carnivalesque. In the chapter on 'Working at the Rat,' past and present employees dish Disney. We learn that the percentage of gay and lesbian Disney World workers is high (estimates range from 25% to 75% of the park's work force), that employees sneak in after hours to have sex and that many workers use amphetamines to accrue overtime (surprisingly, Disney does not test the majority of its park employees for drugs). The management structure, day-to-day operations and Disney ethos are detailed, as are the appalling, even stomach-turning, working conditions endured by the 'head-wearers,' which'll make you pause before posing for a grip-and-grin with Mickey."--Publishers Weekly. Fine paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.…
