Acknowledgements: The research on which this study is based would not have been possible without the generous cooperation of managers, workers and union officials at NUMMI. Gary Robinson helped transcribe taped interviews with them and discern the key points. This article has benefitted from the comments of several NUMMI people and from the responses of many friends and colleagues: Chris Argyris, Joel Beinin, Christian Berggren, Bob Brenner, Clair Brown, El Buffa, Bob Cole, John Ettlie, Steve Frenkel, Don Gerwin, Meg Graham, Jan Hopland, Sandy Jacoby, Ed Lawler, Ann Majchrzak, Ruth Milkman, Michael Reich, Dick Scott, Bill Simon, David Stern, Steve Wheelwright, Bob Sutton, Lowell Turner, and Stephen Wood. My thinking has also been stimulated by the reaction of colleagues to presentations at the USC, Harvard Business School, NYU, UCLA, and UC Berkeley.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. FUTURE WORLD(S): A Critique of Disney's EPCOT and Creating a Futuristic Curriculum by ALAN BOWERS (Under the Direction of Daniel Chapman) ABSTRACT In my dissertation inquiry, I explore the need for utopian based curriculum which was inspired by Walt Disney’s EPCOT Center. Theoretically building upon such works regarding utopian visons (Bregman, 2017, e.g., Claeys 2011;) and Disney studies (Garlen and Sandlin, 2016; Fjellman, 1992), this work combines historiography and speculative essays as its methodologies. In addition, this project explores how schools must do the hard work of working toward building a better future (Chomsky and Foucault, 1971). Through tracing the evolution of EPCOT as an idea for a community that would “always be in the state of becoming” to EPCOT Center as an inspirational theme park, this work contends that those ideas contain possibilities for how to interject utopian thought in schooling.

  • The Wonderful World of Motion
    FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2007 Welcome to the Wonderful World of Motion... When EPCOT Center opened on October 1, 1982, one of the few Future World attractions was the transportation based World of Motion. This attraction, sponsored by General Motors and housed in The Transportation Pavilion, presented a history of transportation from the days of foot power all the way through futuristic methods such as the Lean Machine. The attraction was basically broken into two parts: the ride-through attraction and the TransCenter, which was presented in a walk-through format. What set this attraction apart from its Future World counterparts was its approach to the subject matter. Unlike other EPCOT Center attractions, World of Motion was "the funny one," opting for a fun and whimsical approach over the more serious, sometimes even stern approach taken by its counterparts. The ride scenes, designed by Marc Davis, presented what would have otherwise been very serious fare in a most entertaining tongue in cheek fashion. Among the jokes were the invention of the wheel, used chariot sales (including a hidden Mickey), and Leonardo da Vinci ignoring a rather perturbed Mona Lisa so he could instead design flying machines. Also included was an effect somewhat akin to the hitchhiking ghosts at the Magic Kingdom, only this time the entire ride vehicle was made to look like a streamlined futuristic car. Once your ride was over you were invited to explore the TransCenter, the walking part of the attraction. This part of the attraction was accessible both via the ride and through an exterior entrance, so you didn't necessarily have to ride to experience this part of the attraction.
