Paradise Lost, Tourism, Eden, Mythology, Exemplary HeroAbstract
Though tourism, for popular parlance, seems to be a naive activity, enrooted in superfluous explorations, which do not need further attention, the fact is that anthropology shows another thing. Tourism should be defined as a rite of passage where there are some crises of identity is based on two pillars. First and foremost, the quest of lost-paradise situates the subject before its needs to return to a safe exemplary centre where all needs are fulfilled. Secondly, the quest for purification is equaled to the logic of revitalization. The cycle of work and leisure are alternated indefinitely in the same way to sins and forgiveness. Last but not least, it is necessary to discuss the role played by mythical hero who visits the counties or communities where he will rule at a later day. This discourse, enmeshed with a whole portion of mythical narratives, not only can be equaled to English Grand Tour, but also to tourism.
