inadmissible forclusion. Projet subversif, monstrueusement interstitiel, hante par l'etre inexpansif qu'il est autant que par celui, absent, qu'il ne sera jamais, l'ecriture racinienne proclame, comme incongrument, la paradoxale et si bruyante impossibilite du meme discours qu'elle ne cesse de proferer. Rien qui evoque en elle l'opacite plethorique d'un en-soi : au contraire, une non-coincidence essentielle avec ce qu'elle est, une inaptitude a se sentir comblee, et donc a nous combler, bref une distance, ou mieux peut-etre un distancement, une distension de l'etre qui constituent, douloureusement, son etre meme. Precisons, quitte a inferioriser le code surrealiste que, si « le plus sur des mutismes, n'est pas de se

This essay presents a detailed analysis of the music and its relations to gameplay, meaning and narrative in the interactive digital game Journey. Taking as its foundation multiple thorough playthroughs of the game, observation and questioning of test subjects has been conducted for greater perspective and objectivity. 
 
Combining theories from hermeneutic musicology, narrative ludology and aesthetic theory, it provides a new perspective on music in digital games. Intended as a musicologically inclined complement to the existing studies of digital game music, it applies Jean-Jacques Nattiez’s musical semiology and Nicholas Cook’s model for analysing musical multimedia to digital games. As a development of the visually-inclined studies of digital game theory and ludology, it expounds upon the works of Graeme Kirkpatrick and Henry Jenkins to take into account sound and music. 
 
With a focus on play, meaning and narrative, it is argued that music is integral to players’ experience. It is also suggested that this type of study is highly determined by its subject matter, and that a different approach of analysis might be needed for another game. Further research to corroborate the finds is suggested, as well as a general widening of the fields of game music studies and narrative musicology.

. 1.1: Historical Overview of Tourism 'Tourism is an aspect of globalization l , There is nowhere on Earth that is not available to tourism. Garbage from tourists now exists at the South Pole. The seas of Southeast AS18 are full of garbage and sewage, much of it coming from island resorts. The garbage from tourism can affect the local environment so strongly that food becomes hard to iind'(Fromm, 1999, p. 66). Human beings have long been searching for food, clothing, and shelter, expanding . their field of activities; that is, they have traveled to secure their livelihood, whether or not they have preferred to do so. If one observes the recent pattern of international migration, it shows that 120,000,000 people live away from their homelands due to lowered airfares, population pressure . in developing nations, advanced technology of information and communication, and international economic . activities (Kouno, 2000,p. 573). Accompanied by such mobility, cross· cultural encounters and exchanges have taken place, and humans have long learned to employ some of the foreign cultural resources on their own account. It is true that the forms of human travel have gradually shifted from survival (with mental and physical fatigue) to recreational (with secure,refreshing entertainment) along with the fact that the concept of'leisure' has permeated in societies. In addition, tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in our contemporary globalizing societies. According to the World Travel Organization (WTO) estimation of 2004, the annual population of international travelers that has already counted 702 million at present will reach 1 billion by the year 2010 (the Prime Minister's Office ed., Kanko Hakush~200J). The total revenue of travel industries increased along with the travel population growth from 457 million dollars in 1999 to 474 million dollars in 2004 (ibid.). Along with this trend, the Construction and Transport Ministry of Japan, for example, is waging a campaign to double the number of foreign visitors to Japan from the current yearly figure offour million to eight million by 2007 (The Daily YOmiun; January 10, 2001, p.l). A great number of people are moving on a global scale, and the number is increasing at a rapid rate. Therefore, studying tourism in itself holds a potential in drawing a guideline for cross· cultural transactions in ever-changing contemporary societies of ours. Also, it will possibly locate the significance of the
