摘要

After visiting the New York World's Fair of 1964-65 in Flushing Meadows, Queens, shortly after opening day in April 1964, the religious scholar Martin E. Marty published in the Christian Century a short but scathing review of the fair that focused on the religious pavilions. The title, "Religious Cafeteria," made his contempt clear, as did his text. Marty wrote, "If a whipped-cream-topped strawberry sundae with artificial flavoring represents to you a gourmet meal, a defizzed coke a connoisseur's drink, and a Montavani album an aesthetic delight, the fair is for you. Whoever can park his conventional canons of criticism at the $2.00 gate will enjoy the fair. It is great for the children." He especially deplored the Protestant and Orthodox Center, where the exhibits of different denominations offered "the same old wearisome cafeteria line of implicitly and sometimes explicitly competitive religious groups." His words echoed those of cultural and architectural critics who considered the fair a commercial enterprise designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator in American society.

Marty在《基督教世纪》上发表了一篇简短但严厉的评论,重点关注宗教展馆。标题“宗教食堂”和他的案文都表明了他的蔑视。马蒂写道:“如果带有人工风味的鲜奶油圣代冰淇淋圣代冰淇淋为您代表美食,为鉴赏家喝一杯除焦可乐,而蒙塔瓦尼专辑则为您带来美感,那么博览会就是给您的。任何可以停放传统佳能的人在2.00美元门口受到批评的人们将很高兴。这对孩子们来说非常好。”他特别对新教和东正教中心表示遗憾,在该中心,不同教派的展品提供了“相同的旧式自助餐厅,包括隐含的,有时是明显竞争的宗教团体。”他的话与文化和建筑评论家的观点相呼应,他们认为博览会是旨在吸引美国社会中最低公分母的商业企业。
