Bolter & Grusin (160-195)

There is a section of the reading on pg. 173 that was particularly interesting to me because I am in a seminar that is discussing the sense of place. One of the places that we have brought up in conversation is the Main Street in Disney World. In our reading it says, "The parks celebrate the town as a commercialized media space, but this does not make Disneyland or Disney World any less a reflection of American town or city life...Real cities and towns are themselves media spaces, which theme parks reproduce and refashion." Because of this, I wonder what the affect of remediation is on the sense of a place. Remediation obviously affects it because people have this idyllic sensation of Disneyland and Disney World and thus the sense of place is one of recreation because people value what was first created on the real life main street.
