“…During the 18 th century, pleasure gardens in France contributed to the reduction of class differences and the awakening of a sense of national unity (Conlin, 2008). However, during the 19 th century, the Prater in Vienna and the Tivoli in Copenhagen played a mediator and emancipatory role (O'Brien, 1981;Zerlang, 1997). By the end of the 19 th century, world's fairs introduced a series of innovations that directly influenced not only the intensification of global interactions but also the further development of entertainment.…”

Throughout history, the development of entertainment spaces has been intertwined with, and at times even ahead of, changes in the domain of industrial development and modern technologies as well as in the domain of society, urban culture and leisure behavior patterns, driven by both their organizational and aesthetic characteristics. This paper explores key examples of amusement parks that serve as links in the chain of influence and innovation, resulting in the Disney theme parks during the second half of the previous century as a global phenomenon. The focus of the paper is on the presentation and analysis of the amusement park projects in Belgrade designed by architects Aleksandar Đokić and Slobodan Ilić. Those park projects were developed and built during the 1970s and were persistently referred to as "Belgrade's Disneyland" throughout the planning and construction stages. The aim of the paper is to contextualize the Belgrade project within the broader framework of the cultural and historical development of similar projects worldwide. The results of the paper indicate that Disney's theme parks played an active role in promoting consumer culture throughout the last century. In Belgrade, however, the construction following a similar model faced social resistance and a series of difficulties during its implementation, which could be interpreted as an example of spontaneous (and short-term) defense of national cultural identity.

“…Instead it is the individual who must draw the lines. 11 Den moderne, fleksible og selvdisciplinaere mand, som Zerlang beskriver i overstående citat, var karaktertraek, der gik igen -eller i hver fald pristhos de fem orientalister, og ikke overraskende var de staerke tilhaengere af liberalismen. Hans Bonde skriver, at århundredeskiftet ligeledes var kendetegnet ved, at moderniteten havde rykket ved manderollerne, og der var opstået en usikkerhed omkring maskulinitet.…”

A definition of entertainment must combine a general, anthropological perspective with a specific, historical perspective. The pursuit of happiness is an anthropological constant in human history, closely related to play, not least that of people playing together. But, as a consequence of the process of modernization, this pursuit has been undergoing a great deal of differentiation. A distinction between active and passive pleasures has often been used as a criterion for distinguishing between art and entertainment, active pleasures being considered higher than passive pleasures. In its interplay with society, entertainment may be considered simultaneously as an experiment with society and as an escape from society. Entertainment can be described as play put on display.
