dc.description.abstract | ‘The Largest Bull in Europe’ explores the character of the tourist as both the
observer and the observed. The first person narrative positions the visitor as a
prurient viewer concerned with the sensual details of the other. Traditional
associations of the traveller as a free agent, as flâneur, engender an environment
of moral transgression in which the reconsideration of established social codes
and mores are recast in alternative settings. The visitor is also noticed, observed
and judged by those around her. The sense of alienation established provides a
basis for reassessing what has already been accepted as true, particularly
regarding the nature of romantic relationships and personal identity in relation
to setting. | |
