|
|
Instead of submitting to the fate of commoditized subject or capitalist tool, the flaneur just wanders the city, scoping out randomness, changeability and ephemerality at every turn and intersection, stockpiling time itself, as Benjamin puts it, the way batteries store energy for future untold uses.

However, unlike the precision of Garry Winogrand's or Lee Friedlander's street photography in which we see the relationship between the photographer and the subject, Hara's indiscriminate method allows her subjects to reveal themselves — making her an invisible flaneur who understands the minutiae of life — such as an insect on a window or a child peeking from a tent.

Through voracious reading of French literature, Benjamin traced how Baudelaire's flaneur, a nonconformist and "illuminati," whom the poet himself found in Edgar Allen Poe's story "The Man of the Crowd" (292), was reinvented by Surrealist novels like Louis Aragon's Paris Peasant, Andre Breton's Nadja (26), and in the sensory shocks registered by the meandering narrator in Marcel Proust's introspective epic In Search of Lost Time (1913-1927).

In his foundational essay, "The Painter of Modern Life" (1863), Charles Baudelaire describes the perfect flaneur or passionate spectator: To be away from home and yet feel oneself everywhere at home; to see the world, to be at the center of the world, and yet to remain hidden from the world–such are a few of the slightest pleasures of those independent, passionate, impartial natures which the tongue can but clumsily define.

In the latter Whistler is seated but maintains the image of flaneur, the impartial, non-judgmental observer of contemporary life.

Kristin Koster remarks, "Today, amid a vast cadre off artists who reuse; recycle; or re-purpose the cast away materials that populate their environments; Hill stands apart as a disinterested collector; and as a kind of aristocratic flaneur of the everyday....She never makes use, cycles, or purpose: instead she makes visible, resurrects, and liberates."Kristin Koster.

The illustrated popular press revolutionized the rural opportunities for entertaining and colorful news, and helped modernize traditional peasants into Frenchmen.Eugen Weber, Peasants into Frenchmen: The modernization of rural France, 1870-1914 (1976) p 464.Gregory Shaya, "The Flaneur, the Badaud, and the Making of a Mass Public in France, circa 1860-1910."

In the first half of the twentieth century, although the unaccompanied figure of the woman in the street was seen increasingly frequently in Fashion photographs she often remained bound by the feminine pursuits of a bourgeois existence, with the reality of the street a beautifying prop to the unreal fantasy of high-end fashion. As an object of gaze, her position contrasted with that of the flaneur and the male privileged code of visual spectatorship. It was until the Post-war period, with the emergence of style-conscious magazines aimed at men that the image of the flaneur, somewhat melded with the more modern notion of the “man about town”, began to be visualised in fashion photography. Metropolitan masculinity was shown to be influenced by the industrial atmosphere of the metropolis. This is well illustrated by Terence Donovan (photographer)`s grainy black and white photographs of sharply suited men in ”Spy Drama” for the October 1962 issue of Town which became famous as the visual influence for the filmic interpretation of James Bond.

They were issued by the publishing house of Bruno Cassirer, where Christian Morgenstern worked as editor. Apart from the novels, he wrote many short stories, sketching popular bars from the point of view of a poor "flaneur" in a very playful and subjective language.

Robert Musil and Kurt Tucholsky, among others, stated their admiration for Walser's prose, and authors like Hermann Hesse and Franz Kafka counted him among their favorite writers.

Siva Kumar states, 'The social space that Abanindranath narrativized as an artist-flaneur is thus the subject of the Orientalist artist/writer read from the obverse.

The characterization as Saint George "Akamates" has been given a lot of explanations. One states that it probably derives from the name of Akamantas, the son of Theseus and Pheadra, later transformed to Akamatos, and later still to Akamates. Another is based on the literal sense of the word akamates (= flaneur, or loiterer), because during the Ottoman Era the temple was used only once a year, on the day of the feast of St. George. A third option is that the name is from Archbishop of Athens Michael Akominatos, who might have been the first to perform a Divine Liturgy in the church.

His first book 'Story the Flowers' was made at Calvert's Co-Operative Press in Bethnal Green in 2010. The work is constructed within the tradition of psychogeography and of the city wanderer or flaneur and has been re-imagined and cited as influence for other artists, most recently East India Youth in the naming of his album, 'Culture of Volume', taken from the poem 'Monument'. Often collaborating with artists in other fields, his most notable collaborative pieces have been with Brian Eno and released on Warp Records.

The Colonel began his career as a breeding stallion at the King's Hampton Court stud, where his services were offered for a fee of 12 sovereigns, with a sovereign to the groom. On the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837, her horses where put up for auction, and The Colonel topped the sale as he was bought for 1,550 guineas to Richard Tattersall. In the following year he was exported to Brunswick but returned to England five years later. The Colonel's most significant offspring was probably Cap-A-Pie, a colt who was exported to Australia where he became a highly successful stallion, with his descendants including the Melbourne Cup winners The Barb, Chester and Grand Flaneur.

A post-Romantic in his sensibilities, he let his individualism triumph over his nationalism. Although he aligned with the nationalists in the early years of his career he transcended it very soon to develop something more akin to a Baudelairian aesthetics of modernism with a subjective response to the world rather than an unmediated representation of things. His most impressive work, the Arabian Nights series painted in 1930, can be described as a look at his immediate world through the eyes of a Baudelarian Flaneur, with the stories of the Arabian Nights serving as a pre-text. Equally original as a writer, Abanindranath is a phenomenon whose import has not been fully grasped.

Barker had long since established his reputation as a flaneur, that is, one who walks the streets of the city collecting objects and experiences.
