content: This folder relates to Karp and Kratz's research at Walt Disney World as part of their larger joint project on representations of cultural difference in museum exhibits and other cultural displays. The project was supported by the Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Arts and Humanities at the Smithsonian Institution. They presented an initial version of some of the material at the 1992 AAA meetings in a session with Mary Louise Pratt as discussant (see file on her comments). The full version of the paper is called "Islands of Authenticity: Museums in Disney's World." A significantly shorter version drawing on that paper's first section was published as "Wonder and Worth: Disney Museums in World Showcase" (1993). Karp and Kratz had intended to develop the rest of the paper into another article but never managed to do so.
