영문 초록

To celebrate Frank Baum's 150th birthday, lots of Oz cultural events have been prepared throughout America including Kansas, California, South Carolina, Ohio, and Florida in 2006; diverse festivals, contests, and live performances are offered to cultural tourists such as Scarecrow Stuffing, Follow the Yellow Brick Road, and an Oz Singing Contest. These events are designed mainly to restore the innocent state of happy childhood through cultural consumption. Commodified Oz cultural products are provided to restitute and refresh the tourists; ruby shoes, witch costumes, and other Oz products show that cultural heritage assets are fully transformed into consumable products. Oz tourism fully satisfies tourists by offering many "getting away" events to help them escape from the pressures of daily life. Oz is the place where Dorothy's ruby shoes let her realize fantastic dreams. This imaginary space is, however, closely related to real geography. In fact many tourists enjoy the orders of simulacra and create a real world without reality in the name of Oz. In this sense, the Oz park can be compared to the Magic Kingdom, an imaginary space which replaces reality. Modern tourists look for authentic life. thus Oz events are designed to appear authentic to the tourists. Many original Munchkins and Frank Baum's grandson actively join Oz festivals and events to give authentic experiences to those who quest authenticity. They are structured to satisfy the cultural tourists who want to get away from ordinary events and normal concerns of everyday life. The cultural value of Oz literary tourism primarily lies in the recuperating and entertaining effects of its cultural experience.
