“…On the other hand, different religions have a lot in common.. For instance, the story of Adam and Eve was known also in polytheistic religions as well as monotheistic ones. Coss (1985) observed French influence on English poetry in his research. Bourgeois class started French influence on English poetry and those of under French influence are written in a more romantic style.…”

Cultural diffusion is defined as the spread of cultural elements due to the interaction among people from different cultures. Migration was one major reason for cultural diffusion for thousands of years. Through migration, cultural elements such as art, knowledge, language, poetry and religion were exchanged during the diffusion process. Diffusion usually occurs in a cumulative way starting from developed western countries towards developing Eastern countries. The characteristics of people starting diffusion process and the proximity of the cultures are the main factors influencing cultural diffusion. The change in the nature of the cultural element through diffusion process is inevitable. With the increase in the scope of tourism activities worldwide in the last century, the speed of diffusion has increased. The development of tourism activity in a region led an increase in the pace of cultural diffusion via interactions between hosts and guests. The impacts of cultural diffusion on a region can be both positive and negative. While the globalization can be a threat for the local culture, the increased tourism activity gave rise to the preservation efforts of local culture. The purpose of this paper is to review literature in cultural diffusion theory and discuss the tourism implications.

“…Robin Hood's grave at Kirklees in the West Riding was not so described before 1565 while the resting places of Maid Marian at Little Dunmow, Essex, and Little John at Hathersage in Derbyshire were not designated as such before the seventeenth century. 100 In parallel with this invention and stimulation of oral traditions by the written word went the reciprocal influence of the spoken word on what was recorded and printed. The early modern centuries witnessed fragmentary elements of the dialect, proverbs, traditional tales and many other aspects of vernacular culture from communities across England, Scotland and Wales being enshrined in print for the first time.…”

RESUMENComo todas las figuras míticas, la de Robin Hood se resiste a ser encuadrada en un momento histórico determinado. Así, frente a quienes intentan descubrir un Robin de carne y hueso, seguimos constatando mediante la literatura y el cine que el personaje encarna el sueño de los oprimidos de cualquier signo. En este estudio no pretendemos aportar datos que confirmen su identificación históri-ca sino presentar al forajido como encarnación, desde nuestro punto de vista, de la dinámica social de la baja edad media inglesa, representada asimismo en la propia adaptabilidad de la balada. ABSTRACTLike most mythical characters, Robin Hood evades the possibility of being constrained by a particular historical moment. Facing those scholars who try to determine a real flesh and blood figure, literature and the film industry persist in presenting him as the incarnation of freedom wishes for all types of audiences, and thus, as an adapted type to the diversity of expectations arising at each moment. This paper does not try to provide with new evidence that confirms his historical existence but rather to search for the historical conditions that allowed him to become, from our point of view, the incarnation of the very social dynamics of late medieval England, which are equally represented by the adaptability of the ballad.Mucho antes de transformarse en uno de los héroes nacionales ingleses, Robin Hood era ya era el héroe local, casi familiar de cada condado y aldea del país.1 Su popularidad, de 1 Si a la identidad real nos referimos, podemos remitirnos a la inmensa cantidad de Robin Hoods registrados en diversos archivos desde el siglo XIII, casi siempre relacionados con actos criminales. Entre los historiadores que han perseguido incansablemente al personaje destaca la labor de más de treinta años de Joseph Hunter, archivero de la Public Record Office (desde 1852) que siguiendo los datos de la Geste, pensó que el rey referido en ella sería Eduardo II en su viaje de 1323 a Yorkshire y Lancashire. Descubrió un Robin Hood al que se despide de su puesto de portero de la cámara real en 1324, y que puede o no ser el Robert Hood casado con una tal Matilda y residente en Wakefield en 1316-17. Éste había apoyado a Odisea, n º 4, 2003,
