The cultural importance of the FLANEUR in Paris was cemented in Baudelaire's The Painter of Modern Life. It rose as a cultural figure as Paris was being transformed, and the flaneur not only immersed himself in it via walking but also critically/passionately observing it. Here are a couple of quotes:

“Crowd is his element. For the perfect flaneur, for the passionate spectator, it is an immense joy to set up house in the heart of the multitude, amid the ebb and flow of movement, in the midst of the fugitive and the infinite. . . . To be at the center of the world, and yet remain hidden from the world."

&

The meaning of genius: One who is hurrying, searching, with active imagination in the act of being a flaneur. “He is looking for that quality which you must allow me to call ‘modernity.’ He makes it his business to extract from fashion whatever element it may contain of poetry within history, to distil the eternal from the transitory.”

One of the cultural tidbits is that the flaneur was considered exclusively male. The creation of the female "flaneuse" has been part of the 20th century avant-garde in France, though I should note that they do this tongue-in-cheek.

Baudelaire's work and the importance of the flaneur figure for him was picked up and extended in the 1930s/40s in the great works of Walter Benjamin, specifically his ARCADES PROJECT and his Baudelaire essays and books. At this point, the flaneur was the ideal figure or "ur-form" of the modern intellectual. From Susan Buck-Morss's great work on Benjamin: "The flaneur's object of inquiry is modernity itself. Unlike the academic who reflects in his room, he walks the streets and studies the crowd."

He, the flaneur, is the bohemian artist/intellectual/thinker, the one who throws off unnecessary social trappings and dives passionately into the world.

NOW I understand the meaning behind the scarf with seven views of Paris. I want!!!

My friend in the US said that she saw Dans un Jardin Anglais and Urashima Taro mousselines already.

For my EU friends, don't forget there's an annual increase that usually hits on January 2nd... Better haul things home before too late.

Thank you, chestnutty. The problem is, they sell exactly after the 2nd January.

Whoever said all we talk about on tPF is fluff about silly handbags! Between Arabesques, and Melora's Ode to Point d'Orgue and all the other lovely ladies who share their particular knowledge and expertise, I have learned quite a bit about things like art history and music! It's truly amazing. Thanks to all of you who take the time to share - you are all amazing!

Thank you, dharma, klynneann, katekluet, and lovely64. It's nice to know there's some practical purpose to 20+ years of study, then teaching of art history—to interpret Hermès!

I'm still surprised H would chose Flaneur as a theme; that's rather a heady choice. But if this is true, I'm going to be over the moon. The Flaneur has been my model for life since I was in my mid-20s.
