On the Contemporary Characteristics and the Double Meanings of Dark Tourism This article aims to discuss the way in which dark tourism generates a
feeling of sympathy with the people in pain and collectivity, investigating the meaning of death shared by consumers of contemporary dark tourism. Today, our sense of the life is less tangible, due to the lack of institutional rituals of mitigating grief and loss that ensure the life. Tourism toward sharing the grief of the people in pain, in a sense, can be a response to reviving the meaning of life in a collective manner. On the other, its practice possibly can make the tourists grow a sympathy to the local people, directly intersecting traumatic others beyond verbal communications. Also, the local can share the grief with the tourists and mediate their traumatic experiences, in the recognition of their precarious selves by others. While the dark tourism is an ultimate consumer practice of modern people, it will open for a possibility of growing compassion to and sharing collectivity with the people in pain. Key words dark tourism, consumption society, sympathy, trauma, selfexpression
