Patterns of Reinterpretation

Trader-tourism is a massive survival strategy practiced in East European countries, in this case Bulgaria. "Trader-tourists" import Turkish goods that are sold at Bulgarian open-air markets. Profit is made by circumventing customs control through the bribing of officials-a loophole facilitated by widespread corruption and engendered "from above" by the more powerful transitional actors. The picaresque role that former state employees have adopted as present-day tradertourists accentuates a deficit of legitimacy and absence of normative institutional support. Trader-tourists attempt to overcome this deficit of authority through imaginative treatment (poetization) of entrepreneurial materials in order to attain a reinterpreted form of the previous stability, normativeness, and order.
