Description: "The Themed Space: Locating Culture, Nation, and Self is the first edited collection focused on the significance of the themed space ... The authors look at behind-the-scenes tourism at Universal Studios and the Ford Rouge Factory Tour, the use of theming in unexpected spaces (like Florida-themed clinics), theming in virtual reality spaces of video games, and the social controversies related to theming. The book includes a comprehensive bibliography on theming and a list of key terms."--Jacket.
