DISCOVERING ITALY BY BACKPACKING

Page 2: presentazione Tesi official

Drifters & Hippies (1957-1970)

DRIFTER:

“…the type of international tourist who ventures furthest away from the beaten track…he shuns any kind of connection with the tourist establishment….He tries to live the way the people he visits live…The drifter has no fixed itinerary or timetable and no well-defined goals of travel”. (E.Cohen, 1972:166)

From the Counterculture to the Mass-drifter tourism (1975 – 1990)

SOPHISTICATED TRAVELLER:

Interessi economici e guide turistiche come Project London e Europe Under 25 aprono la strada al Mass-drifter tourism. La figura del drifter inizia lentamente a scomparire per lasciare il posto ad una sua controfigura post-moderna, distorta, lontana dal suo prototipo iniziale: un sophisticated traveller.

Backpackers & Lifestyle Travellers (1990 – 2015):

BACKPACKER:

“Young, budget tourist on extended holiday. More structured than drifter travel but purportedly different from mass tourism, backpackers supposedly displayed a preference for budget accommodation, an independently organised and flexible schedule, longer holidays, an emphasis on meeting other travellers and locals..” (Loker-Murphy & Pearce, 1995).

(Interaction of the native)

THE CULTURAL SHOCK

Backpacker’s gaze“... ‘That’s strange’ I thought….I expected him to pull out a travel pillow..but what emerged from his worn bag were heavy-duty ropes, rubber bungee straps, and long lengths of welded steel chain..” (Italy from a Backpack pp. 72).

Reversed gaze…They both began gesturing at me while the younger guy attempted in broken English to convey their intent: ‘Night.You. Train.Man.Bad.Ok?Ok? (Italy from a Backpack pp. 73)

CULTURE SHOCKMy curious composure turned into alarm, then panic…’No this is not OK! What’s going on! (Ivi,pp. 73)
