In the age where Nationalism is rampant and Globalism covers the world, where can we find a foothold for new political thought? Hiroki Azuma traverses the works of Rousseau, Rorty, Negri, Dostoevsky, and Network theory, surpassing Hegel's paradigm.
I'm currently reading this book and it's highly praised for its ability to master network theory and its sense of understanding. 2023/2/5
This book is the culmination of the author's 20 years of work and announces a new development in Azuma's philosophy.

Let's correct the Incorrect Bisection Method:
- Villager: Belongs only to a specific community
- Traveler: Does not belong to any community
- Introduce the concept of Tourists: "Basically, belonging to a specific community while occasionally visiting another community"
This stance is also mentioned in the author's previous work, Weak connections. tkgshn.icon
Hiroki Azuma's 'Tourist Theory' includes Center and Periphery and the universal claim of "Value others."
Tourism has been increasing on a macro level. It is the democratization of "Tourism as Entertainment," the first time in human history that people are moving.
What is Tourism?
What does it mean to cross borders? This includes Refugees and Immigration.
Let's briefly examine the Etymology. In the United Kingdom, the aristocracy had a concept called the "Grand Tour," which was a form of cultural education travel to deepen their awareness as inheritors of European culture. The concept of tourism starts from the idea of modern.
Tourism emerged after the Industrial Revolution, specifically in the context of Consumer Society. It seems that "workers taking vacations" was not common.
The world has been converging since modern times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkSRLYSojo
Thomas Cook created the concept of "tourism." He was the first planner of mass tourism using railways. He created Round-trip tickets, Hotel Coupons, Traveler's checks, and Guidebooks! His tourism also included politically sensitive places such as Scotland and the country houses of local nobility. The purpose was to promote Tourism as an enlightenment activity. It seems that even the First World Exposition was part of this.
Cook believed in earnest that through tourism, the masses could be enlightened and society could be improved. The history of modern tourism begins with this belief.
