Abstract
Any tourist, even the most honest one, “smuggles” something he himself is not aware of. It is the weight of his attitudes and expectations, conceptual apparatus, as well as the complex symbolical machine of perception and understanding of the reality observed. As for scientific concepts, they appear fairly quickly and are usually supervised. It turns out to be much more difficult to analyse value preferences, social and moral norms of different sorts, and legal and economic differences as well. They are discovered with the accumulation of experience of the comparison of “ours” and “somebody else’s”, and this requires quite a labour-consuming study of the structures of everyday life in this or other visited and observed country. Acts of consciousness, efforts to establish distinctions between the beautiful and the ugly, the evil and the good, the convenient and the inconvenient, the decent and the indecent, eventually determine other networks of distinctions and differentiations, on which a scholar relies.
