À propos de cet audio

What is a flaneur? When and where did the flaneur first appear as a literary figure? Are there flaneurs today, and is it possible to stroll, like a flaneur, in a colonised city? In conversation with Jamie Callison, this episode charts the appearance, and ostensible destruction, of the figure of the flaneur in Modernist writing. We begin with Walter Benjamin’s essay on the flâneur from 1935 and discuss the fragmented depictions of cityscapes in T.S. Elliot's and Hope Mirless' poetry, before we turn to texts by James Joyce, Mulk Raj Anand, and Frantz Fanon to discuss the limitations put on the flaneur in a colonised city.
