Abstract

The scope of this contribution aims to illuminate facets of being mobile in the context of recent Western societies, together with relevant facets of sociohistorical development and mythic background. The perspectives offered concentrate on those aspects of mobility which were the basis for the ‘Touring Consumption’ conference; focusing on phenomena related to tourism or in more general terms, on phenomena of world-consumption; which tourism is, in fact, a part of. The underlying thesis is that tourism is more than just "site-seeing" because those "sites" serve special functions and in themselves, become functionalized to a high degree by transforming them into products of consumption.
