Abstract

This contribution explores the topos of the Pilgrim and the Tourist, and examines how it has developed, how, and in which contexts, it was used and appropriated. For this purpose a compact fourfold typology of the topos is offered. In the first three, we see a clear movement from divergence toward convergence. In the last type we are beyond the topos. The Pilgrim and the Tourist are no longer poles of a coherent scale or taxonomy; rather, they are accents in a complex whole of ritual and cultural dynamics, in which they can flow into each other.
