Abstract

There are many derived terms that have become usual in the area of culture in the last few decades. They belong to so-called urban dictionaries and it seems they are common to everyone, but in fact, very hard to be explained. A term connected to the popularization of culture that has been written much about is Disneyfication. Its meaning is mainly negative and always connected to the fact that some place resembles to Disney's Theme Park. Consequently, it has become very suitable, actually a very popular term, for the description of negative phenomena in the field of archaeological heritage protection.
