About this document
Aimée Boutin-Rethinking The Flaneur by Alejandro José Pena is a document available to read on EtoBox.
As the embodiment of modernity, the figure of the flâneur is closely associated with our conception of nineteenth-century urban experience and of Paris, the city where he originated. Variously defined as a fashionable male idler, a leisurely stroller, an expert reader of urban signs, an artist or writer, and a sociologist avant la lettre, the flâneur remains as multifarious and elusive as the city with which he is associated.
