Key figure of mobility: ... (2017)
by Jamie Coates
ABSTRACT ⏎ The flaneur acts as a key figure for understanding the relationship between the individual, modernity and the city. A reference to dandy young gentlemen, who walked, performed, and loitered within the arcades of late nineteenth century Paris, the flaneur has transitioned from a literary and theoretical figure to one used in mobile urban ethnographies. The flaneur, traditionally male, is a figure of pedestrian mobility whose sensorial and mobile engagements with the urban landscape generate distinct forms of creative practice. For this reason, the flaneur has been invoked in relation to the methods and experiences of the ethnographer, who moves and takes note in similar ways.🏁
