About this title

Synopsis

Timely and original, this collection of essays from the leading figures in their fields throws new and valuable light on the significance and future of fl�nerie. The fl�neur is usually identified as the ‘man of the crowd’ of Edgar Allen Poe and Charles Baudelaire, and as one of the heroes of Walter Benjamin’s Arcades Project. The fl�neur’s activities of strolling and loitering are mentioned increasingly frequently in sociology, cultural studies and art history, but rarely is the debate developed further. The Fl�neur is the first book to develop the debate beyond Baudelaire and Benjamin, and to push it in unexpected and exciting directions.
