More about the book
Exploring the impact of globalization, the book delves into the concept of hyperculture, where cultural expressions lose their original context and merge into a fluid, hybridized experience. It highlights how diverse cultural elements coexist, akin to fusion cuisine, creating a landscape where distinctions between indigenous and foreign blur. The idea of hypercultural tourism emerges, suggesting that individuals engage with culture as spectators, navigating a space of cultural sightseeing that transcends traditional boundaries.
