Evolutionary Theory and the Causes of Hunter-Gatherer Fighting. This study addresses the causes of fighting among hunter-gatherers, whose way of life represents 99.5 percent of human history. At raves, young men and women dance to electronic music from dusk to dawn.
Previous scholarship treats the rave as a hypertext of pleasure and disappearance.
However, such a postmodern view does not attend to the poignant and meaningful spiritual experiences reported by those who go to raves. Such therapeuticism can be more fully understood in the context of other modern western spiritual subcultures. Placing raves within the context of these other subcultures foregrounds questions for further research. This article focuses on Italian charter tourists' experiences of North Cape, the site considered to be Europe's northernmost spot and the most privileged place for gazing at the Midnight Sun. My aim is to show that tourists' experiences and interpretations of a specific attraction are culturally shaped and contextually situated.
