On 'close inspection' all situation s are unfamiliar. The social margin of tourism is the interaction between the tourist and the local population. This interaction my be strained by differences in language and behavior. The tourist avoids the local realities through romanticism. The locals are laughing at the tourist who is distractedly feeding the filthy and diseased pigeons and having his picture taken with them.
Tourism is the role resulting from the fusion of the exploratory and the ignorant.
This is the primary 'unifying factor in the contradictory diversity of the 'human condition'. Perversity exists for itself. Life is text . These words make familiar what is destroyed by the realities of action, the unfamiliar situation made real.
