In the wake of globalization, cultural forms of expression have become increasingly detached from their places of origin, circulating in a hyper-domain of culture where there is no real difference anymorebetween indigenous and foreign, near and far, the familiar and theexotic.Heterogeneous cultural contents are brought together side byside, like the fusion food that makes free use of all that thehypercultural pool of spices, ingredients and ways of preparing food hasto offer. Culture is becoming un-bound, un-restricted, un-ravelled: ahyperculture. It is a profoundly rhizomatic culture of intensehybridization, fusion and co-appropriation.Today we have all becomehypercultural tourists, even in our ‘own’ culture, to which we do noteven belong anymore.  Hypercultural tourists travel in the hyperspace ofevents, a space of cultural sightseeing. They experience culture ascul-tour.Drawing on thinkers from Hegel and Heidegger to Bauman and Homi Bhabha to examine the characteristics of our contemporary hyperculture, Han poses the question: should we welcomethe human of the future as the hypercultural tourist, smiling serenely, or should we aspire to a different way of being in the world?
