“adventure” is not the name of the game for me, for two reasons='lgc'>:
="lstsrd">1.

="lstsrd">2. i have been researching europeans who came for an “adventure” to ="nms">iran in the last millennium (such as ="ppl">Olearius), and it doesn't look good. when europeans go out of their center to east it is adventure (or ="trms">anthropology), that means othering and feeling the ="trms">differences of the other in order to feel outside. but when, for example ="nms">iranians go to Europe, they never feel they are there for “adventure,” they are there to learn. the mode of adventure plays this role in the colonial dynamic of “going out there”
