Full textAs urban phenomenon, “flânerie” appears together with socio-economic changes of the nineteenth century. Although associated with a factice wandering, it introduces a new and fragmented approach of the city. The change of perspective on the street also leads to a change of perspective on art and literature. Thus, a Balzac or a Baudelaire is particularly interested in the paradoxical and floating figure of the “flâneur”. In a possible genealogy of the concept, a special place is taken by the diverse and unclassifiable creation of Guillaume Apollinaire. The writer’s passion for “brocanteurs” and trivia as for unusual stories and exceptional characters determines literary criticism to apply him the pejorative label of “flâneur”. Based on this cliché of the critical reception, our thesis is to demonstrate that “flânerie”, for Apollinaire, defines not only a relation to space, but also a way of being and thinking. Through formal, thematic and poetic analysis of the writer’s literary and theoretical work, we plan to prove that “flânerie” is a theme, a method and a valid aesthetic principle. Without being negative, “flânerie” is rather the metaphor of a work in perpetual metamorphosis where collage, discontinuity and heterogeneity are not derogatory concepts, but true aesthetic pillars

A presente tese é um trabalho que se articula sobre dois eixos. O primeiro propõe estabelecer uma relação entre a flânerie praticada no século XIX e aquela praticada no século seguinte pelo surrealismo. Flânerie que adquire outros contornos quando apropriada pelos surrealistas, que farão dela uma prática de poetização do cotidiano, a qual ambiciona a fusão entre real e imaginário enquanto tentativa da libertação total do homem. O outro eixo no qual se articula essa tese se refere à tradução de um excerto de Nadja, obra de André Breton, no qual a temática da flânerie e dos preceitos fundamentais do surrealismo se faze presente. Nadja foi publicada originalmente em 1928 na França, e conta com duas traduções no Brasil. A primeira editada pela extinta Editora Guanabara em 1987 e a segunda pela Editora Cosacnaify em 2007, ambas trazendo o mesmo tradutor. A tradução do trecho da obra de Breton baseia-se na teoria da tradução de Antoine Berman e procura estabelecer diálogo com as traduções anteriores, além de procurar compreendê-las enquanto inserção no contexto de recepção do surrealismo no Brasil.
Il s#agit d#une investigation développée sur deux axes principaux. On établit des rapports entre la flânerie pratiquée au XIXe siècle et le surréalisme au XXe siècle. En fait, une flânerie qui présente des contours différents chez les surréalistes. Pratiquée selon un processus de poétisation de chaque jour, dont on constate le tentative de fusion entre le réel et l#imaginaire par le biais de la libération totale de l'homme. Cette même thèse est explicitée lors de la traduction d'un extrait de Nadja, oeuvre d'André Breton, dont la flânerie et les questions fondamentaux du surréalisme sont présents. Nadja a été publié en 1928 en France. Au Brésil, il existent deux traductions, la première lancée par la maison d#édition Guanabara en 1987 et la seconde par Cosacnaify en 2007, toutes les deux réalisées par le même traducteur. La traduction de l#extrait de Nadja, proposée dans cette recherche, a été soutenue par la théorie de la traduction d'Antoine Berman et cherche à établir des rapport avec les traductions précédentes, de façon à les comparer et mieux les comprendre dans dans le contexte de la réception du surréalisme au Brésil.

Este trabalho tem como objeto de estudo o flâneur no pensamento de Walter Benjamin. Nos concentraremos especialmente no seu modelo de existência que atesta a crise da experiência na modernidade – modelo este caracterizado tanto pelo declínio da experiência tradicional (Erfahrung) como pelo surgimento da vivência do choque (Chockerlebnis). Em consequência dessa crise, o flâneur tornase o retrato do intelectual/artista que precisa refletir sobre sua própria situação histórica para que possa compreender e tentar redefinir seu papel e sua atuação sociais sob pena de sucumbir às demandas do mercado no cenário capitalista pósRevolução Industrial, marcado pelos meios de produção e por mudanças na percepção humana com o avanço da técnica e da urbanização no século XIX e início do XX. Como um tipo que vive no limiar (Schwelle) entre o passado histórico – representado pelo tempo da tradição e da transmissão de experiências coletivas duradouras e compartilháveis – e o presente – representado pela vivência do choque, que marca o tempo moderno da imediatez, da repetição, da reprodução incessante e do consumo que transforma todas as coisas em mercadorias – Benjamin apresenta o flâneur como aquele que ainda dispõe de fragmentos da verdadeira experiência histórica e, por reconhecer a distância que o afasta dessa experiência, ele representa a busca por uma consciência histórica atual.
The aim of this research is the flâneur in Walter Benjamin's thought. We will look specially upon his model of existence which testifies modernity's experience crisis characterized by the decline of the traditional experience (Erfahrung) as well as the arising of chock experience (Chockerlebnis). In the account of this crisis, the flâneur becomes the portrait of the intellectual/artist who needs to rethink upon his own historical position in order to comprehend and remodel his role as well as social behavior, otherwise he may fall into the market demands in a capitalistic postIndustrial Revolution scenario, labelled by the means of production and by the changes in human perception derived from technical advancement and reurbanization in the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth. As a type living in between historical past – represented by time of tradition and transmission of long lasting and sharing collective experiences – and present – represented by shock experience which conceives modern time as immediacy, repetition, uninterrupted reproduction, and consumption which transforms everything into commodities – Benjamin presents the flâneur as the one who still disposes of fragments of real historical experience, and that by recognizing the distance which sets him apart from this same experience, he represents the quest for real historical conciousness.

Full textRéda has been placing the big city at the core of his poetic works since the 1970s. This thesis aims at studying Réda’s works with a double perspective: geographic as well as literary. On one hand, we explore the image and experience of Paris as the traditional Parisian flâneur sees it, following the methodology of the literary geography that has emerged as a new field of study in literary research. On the other hand, Réda, through his wanderings, conveys the image and experience of the big city throughout its historical evolution, from “la ville énorme” to the “postmodern” city. Geography, as an academic discipline and as a practice, is a consubstantial part of Réda’s vision and writing of the city.Réda, despite being a provincial himself and through the way he travels within the city, sheds light on the urban paradoxes. If it seems safe to say that the “modern” city is on a decline, it appears that Réda aims at reinventing the urban experience of walking/wandering in order to maintain a human-centered dimension of the city/a human-sized city

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 90-94).
This thesis offers an account of the professional life and aesthetic pursuits of a remarkable figure of the nineteenth century: Khalil Bey, an Ottoman diplomat and art collector whose career took him from one cosmopolitan city to another. Although, his collection of French art has gotten considerable attention in Western scholarship, due primarily to his commission of Gustave Courbet's Origin of the World, an in-depth study of his life hasn't yet been produced. It is in this regard that this thesis frames Khalil's life chronologically and details his diplomatic career, his three-year sojourn as an art-collector and his evolving egalitarian and reformist ideals. The aim here is to offer a critical interpretation of the figure of Khalil Bey, and in so doing, complicate the terms in which nineteenth-century masculine identity is cast. The overall aim is not to define anew such Baudelairian categories as flaneur, dandy, artist, and bohemian, but rather allow the possibility of how a cosmopolitan Oriental like Khalil Bey, who seamlessly navigated between the capitals of the West and East, offers a compelling model of self-fashioning, and a means of understanding how masculinity, in the age of modernity, was deeply unfixed.

Full textThis work proposes a discourse on the modern flaneur around the sociological problem of wandering, hospitality and resistance. The first part consists in returning to the socio-poetic framework of post-modernity in which one wanders. In the second part, we seek characters-flaneurs based on a reading of literary works. We establish the features of anonymity and a strange communicability, associated with the "fissures" of the subject. The third part characterizes the attitude of the 'modern' man : "to love loneliness in a crowd" starting from this fissure. The city changes around the flaneur who acquires a new sensitivity within the labyrinth or 'ocean'. The image of water makes us understand the subject's desire not to fix itself, the subject's desire for the lightness of the flaneur-foreigner. The fourth part suggests "happy Sisyphus" despite everything. In the last part, we show 'wandering' as a form of hospitality and resistance

Antônio Tavernard é um poeta que até então não inspirou muitos estudos acadêmicos a respeito de sua obra literária. O pouco que se sabe dele é o pouco que se repassou até hoje: um poeta triste, uma poesia pessimista e romântica. No entanto, há muito mais do que parece haver nos versos deixados por Tavernard. A vivência guardada em um chalé no fundo do quintal, o afastamento social por conta de uma doença incurável, possibilitou ao poeta a revelação de outros olhares seus sobre a realidade externa. Este trabalho propõe um percurso diferente pela obra poética de Tavernard, reconhecendo os espaços poéticos existentes na mesma. A partir da definição de flâneur dita por Walter Benjamin, aplica-se ao poeta paraense tal adjetivo de forma metafórica, já que ele, mesmo estático fisicamente, passeia pela Belém do início do século XX através de suas sensações e leituras e retrata, em seus poemas, a cidade de uma forma muito singular, como um dia, Baudelaire fez com Paris. Através da leitura de várias edições da extinta revista A Semana, a pesquisa trata também da relação que a obra do poeta tinha com um público contemporâneo formado por escritores famosos da cena literária local como, por exemplo, Bruno de Menezes.
AntônioTavernard is a poet whose literary work has not inspired many cientific studies. The little that is known about him is the little part taught: a sad poet and pessimist and romantic poetry. Therefore, Tavernard´s writing brings more elements than we use to think. The real drama the poet lived represents a lot for the ones who aims to understand his texts, but it shall not be the only way to be followed by Tavernard´s readers. The life he lived on the backyard of his house and the social segregation due to an uncurable illness made possible the revelation of new views over a common situation. This research proposes a different path through Tavernard’s poetry work, recognizing its poetic spaces. With Walter Benjamin’s definition of flâneur, this adjective is applied to the poet on a metaphoric way, because even on a physically static form, he wanders through Belém in the beginning of the 20th century using his feelings and readings, showing the city singularly, much like Baudelaire has once done to Paris.By the reading of many editions of the now exctinct ‘A Semana’ magazine, this research also shows the relation the poet’s work had with a contemporary audience made up by many famous writers from the local scene like, for example, Bruno the Menezes.
Azuma, Shiho. "Villes ouvertes. La flânerie dans les images urbaines de Chris Marker." Thesis, Paris 3, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA030123.
Full textChris Marker (1921-2012) is a filmmaker, who took photos and filmed various places by travelling all over the world. The city had been one of the important subjects for Marker’s works. Suppose every metropolis is essentially a limitless place, filled with flow and mobility, Marker’s works, described as intersection of different time and space and “otherness,” can be said that they inherit the nature of metropolis. Being filmmaker and traveler, Marker’s images of city are often characterized by “moving”, particularly by the experience of flânerie (stroll), which constitutes element of philosophical reflection of modern city by Walter Benjamin (1892-1940). In order to make this point clear, this dissertation deals with the films of Marker using Benjamin’s concept flânerie, as a major analyzing concept. Using four key concepts, threshold, allegory, and rag-and-bone man related to the experience of flânerie, this dissertation dissects the complex stratification of “space-time”, the “ephemeral character”, and the “art of collecting” in the images of Marker. Also, bringing the new concept “navigation”, as a renewed version of flânerie, the space of L’Ouvroir, the territorialities of Second Life, created in Marker’s last years of his life is analyzed. As a result, in the light of the issues raised by flânerie, we understand that Chris Marker problematizes the modernity and the system of cinematic representation based on the continual search for new visual experience

Full textThe present thesis aims to show the result of Walter Benjamins theory of perception texts organization edited in several publishing. Thus, the general concept of perception is divided into other concepts such as Aesthetics, Comment, Criticism, optical perception and Philosophical perception, presenting the scopic regimes of modernity. Besides, it highlights Benjamins concept of perception meaning the same as reading. It also covers a fundamental subject in his thoughts on visual arts: the aura concept. In addition to these aspects, this thesis has the intention to spot not only the claim about the decline of aura, but also the way of perception that predominates in the movies reception: the shock perception. Finally, it evaluates the legibility of city through a reflection on flânerie and the surrealistic vision seen as social practices which inspired Benjamin original reflection on perception.

Full textThis paper aims to analyze the concept of the cyberflâneur and its relation to artistic production that uses digital networks as an aesthetic tool. The concept of the cyberflâneur is a theoretical construct about the figure of the flâneur, the character of the metropolis of the nineteenth century, which proposed a new way of looking to the urban phenomena. The work rescues the relation of the original concept with modern art to draw parallels with the relationship between the cyberflâneur and network art. By examining works that use the Internet as basis in the final chapter of this paper we point out new aspects in the conceptualization of the cyberflâneur, making more evident some aspects of the concept that can be related to artistic practices.

Diante de um teatro contemporâneo, a crítica teatral jornalística é apontada como estéril, sem exercitar uma das mais importantes funções: a de dialogar com a complexidade de leitores, os espectadores e os artistas. Essa falta de recursos metodológicos provoca um retardamento e uma incapacidade de leitura da cena teatral contemporânea, cada vez mais híbrida e fragmentada. Essa pesquisa aponta caminhos originais para percorrer esse diálogo, como a apropriação das noções de punctum e do flâneur. Escrita de uma forma dramática, o texto desenvolve-se a partir de três personagens. Um importante crítico de teatro aposentado, seu assistente e doutor em crítica teatral e um mestrando debruçam sobre esse problema de pesquisa para buscar um caminho próprio capaz de permitir que o discurso crítico se alce ao mesmo campo do discurso teatral contemporânea. Com a mescla de teorias e preposições, eles chegam ao conceito do crítico flâneur e todas as suas imbricações. Num formato híbrido, entre o texto acadêmico e a ficção, essa dissertação de mestrado se apropria dos 13 anos de atividade do autor como crítico teatral em jornais brasileiros, num exercício de aproximação e distanciamento científico.
In front of a contemporary theatre, theatrical criticism is singled out as sterile, journalistic without exercising one of the most important functions: that of dialogue with the complexity of readers, the audience and the artists. This lack of methodological resources causes a delay and an inability to read the contemporary theatre scene, increasingly hybrid and fragmented. This research points to original paths traverse this dialogue, as ownership of notions of punctum and flâneur. Written dramatically, the text develops from three characters. An important theater critic retired, his assistant and doctorate in theatrical criticism and a graduate student dealing with this problem of research to seek a path itself able to allow critical discourse if Moose at the same field of contemporary theatrical discourse. With the mix of theories and prepositions, they arrive at the concept of the flâneur critic and all its impact. In a hybrid format, between the academic and fiction text, this dissertation appropriates of the 13 years of the author's activity as theatrical critic in Brazilian newspapers, a scientific approach and distancing exercise.

Full textThis thesis begins with the notion of the "stroll" as a symbolic act that allows for the transformation of space, into a metaphor of mental, physical and artistic movement. Starting from this idea, the recovery of the figure of the flâneur is proposed - a paradigmatic figure of modern urban experience, who emerges in 19th Century Paris and who, in rough outlines, is notable as a a figure who wanders slowly without direction in a space that begins to characterize itself by its state of hurrying and speed - and who delights in the leisure that sets his imagination free, and who wanders in times that that are beginning to become dominated by capitalism, as well as in his taste for crowds without mingling with them, as he manages to enjoy his solitude and anonymity (Benjamin, 1972). Making the most of modern urban experience, his importance resides in the fact that he becomes an analytic strategy which allows him to explore new contexts, especially those generated with the use of 2oth Century technology (cyberspace), and in the 21st Century -with the consolidation of virtual space and the expansion of the use of technology in physical space that gives way to hybrid space, making it possible to understand new keys and artistic processes that emerge from these surroundings. In this way, this present study pursues the establishment of an analytical strategy that will take us to the reconsideration and redefinition of the figure of the flâneur in the spaces we have proposed, and is tackled on a route divided into three parts, each part corresponds to the contemporary urban spaces that are explored: modern urban space (flâneur), cyberspace (cyberflâneur) and hybrid space -between physical and virtual- with the use of the cell phone (phoneur). This journey follows an interdisciplinary methodology, guided as much by theoretical studies as by practical ones, and being an intermediary with other spheres not specifically artistic, such as literature, architecture, studies of the urban space or new technologies. As a practical application of this doctoral thesis, we present our own artistic production, carried out in a parallel fashion, complementary to the theoretical part. This allows a putting in practice that generates theoretical discussions, proposing reflection and questioning the different themes being addressed, by a series of 32 artistic actions (individual and collective) where we have worked as much in physical space -in relation to the figure of the flâneur- as in virtual space, with respect to its correspondence to the cyberflâneur, and in hybrid space in relation to the phoneur.
La present tesi parteix de la noció de "passeig" com un acte simbòlic que permet transformar l'espai, constituint-se com una metàfora del moviment mental, físic i artístic. A partir d'aquesta idea, es planteja la recuperació del flâneur, figura paradigmàtica de l'experiència urbana moderna que sorgeix a París en el segle XIX i que, a grans trets, es distingeix per caminar sense rumb i lentament en un espai que comença a caracteritzar-se per la pressa i la velocitat, gaudint d'una ociositat que li permet deixar lliure la imaginació i divagar en un temps que comença a estar dominat pel capitalisme, així com el seu gust per la multitud, sense barrejar-se amb ella, dins de la qual aconsegueix gaudir de la solitud i l'anonimat (Benjamin, 1972). Per aprofitar al màxim l'experiència urbana moderna, la seua importància resideix que es converteix en una estratègia analítica que permet explorar nous contextos posteriors, especialment aquells generats per l'ús de les tecnologies en el segle XX (ciberespai), i en el segle XXI amb la consolidació de l'espai virtual i l'expansió de l'ús de les tecnologies en l'espai físic que dóna lloc a l'espai híbrid, fent possible comprendre noves claus i pràctiques artístiques sorgides des d'aquests entorns. D'aquesta manera, en el present estudi es persegueix establir una estratègia analítica que ens puga permetre dur a terme la reconsideració i la resignificació de la figura del flâneur en els espais plantejats i que és abordada en un recorregut que es troba dividit en tres parts, corresponents a cadascun dels espais urbans contemporanis explorats: espai urbà modern (flâneur), ciberespai (ciberflâneur) i l'espai híbrid, entre el físic i el virtual, amb l'ús de la telefonia mòbil (phoneur). Aquest recorregut es du a terme seguint una metodologia interdisciplinària, guiada tant per estudis teòrics com pràctics i sent intermediària amb altres esferes no específicament artístiques com la literatura, l'arquitectura, estudis de l'espai urbà o noves tecnologies. Com aplicació pràctica d'aquesta tesi doctoral es presenta la producció artística pròpia realitzada de manera paral·lela i complementària a la part teòrica, permetent una posada en pràctica que al seu torn és generadora de discussió teòrica, plantejant reflexions i qüestionant els diferents temes tractats a través d'un conjunt de 32 accions artístiques (individuals i col·lectives) en les quals s'ha treballat tant en l'espai físic en relació a la figura del flâneur, en el virtual respecte a la seua correspondència amb el ciberflâneur, i en l'híbrid en relació al phoneur.

Esta dissertação tem o objetivo de discutir a relação entre a experiência de caminhar/passear e o desvelar do Centro Histórico de João Pessoa pelo turista/flâneur. O fenômeno turístico, a experiência turística, o tempo, o caminhar/passear, o turista/flâneur, a paisagem e o olhar do turista são abordados como conceitos essenciais para esta discussão. Inicialmente, o turismo é tratado a partir dos discursos tidos como mais pertinentes, e que o concebem como fenômeno, como experiência do sujeito, considerando-se os sentidos daqueles que o envolvem. Nesse processo de desvelar da cidade, o tempo é um fator relevante e se configura como um elemento diferencial para a experiência do turista. Caminhar/passear pela cidade transcende, aqui, a noção de uma mera atitude locomotiva do corpo, posto que tais ações englobam o local, a maneira como se passeia e o olhar daquele que passeia. Propõe-se, assim, a concepção de um turista diferente daquele indivíduo tido apenas como mero consumidor de cartões-postais. O turista/flâneur evocado neste projeto é aquele que passeia pelos lugares com desenvoltura e atenção, sempre disponível às diferentes percepções. Descreve-se, ainda, a capital paraibana e a consolidação do seu Centro Histórico, com o intuito de fazer uma breve apresentação do estudo de caso em questão. A partir do Centro Histórico de João Pessoa, empreenderam-se as considerações sobre a experiência singular de caminhar/passear pela cidade. _______________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
This thesis aims to discuss the relationship between the experience of roaming/walking and the unveiling of João Pessoa’s Historic Center by the tourist/flaneur. The phenomenon of tourism, the tourist experience, the time, the roam/walking, the tourist/flâneur, the landscape and the tourist gaze are discussed as essential concepts to this discussion. Initially, tourism is treated from the speeches considered more relevant, and that conceive it as a phenomenon, as the subject experience, considering the senses of those who involve them. In this process of uncovering the city, the time is a relevant factor and is configured as a differential element to the tourist experience. Roam/walking through the city transcends, here, the notion of a mere locomotive attitude of the body, since such actions include the location, the way you walk and the look of that who walks. It is proposed, thus, the conception of a different tourist than that individual had as a mere consumer of postcards. The tourist/flâneur evoked in this dissertation is one who walks through places with ease and attention, always available to different perceptions. It describes, also, Paraiba’s capital and the consolidation of its Historic Center, in order to make a brief presentation of the case study in question. From the Historic Center of João Pessoa, the considerations were undertaken on the unique experience of roaming/walking in the city.

Full textThis research investigates the street style blog phenomenon, in the narcissistic digital society, in order to comprehend it’s logic and it’s interlocutors, and in particular, to understand the collective imaginary of street fashion and blogger dynamics, as they are flâneurs of contemporaneity and emblematic fashion icons. Amongst the objectives aimed, the digital street style movement is explored and described from a historical and editorial structure perspective. A systematization through typology is also proposed for the street style blogs genre in this research. We have started the investigation with a study of technical aspects of blogs and the formation of styles from traits traced in modern and postmodern urbanity to better recognize these blogs not only as a strategic communication vehicles but as environments of interaction and projection spaces for individuals and social groups that target acknowledgment and fame. From a Comprehensive Sociology approach to map the street style blogging phenomenon, a quanti-qualitative research was realized, in which included a wide collection of blogs, gathering of data and netnographic observation of the corpus (The Sartorialist, The Face Hunter, Garance Dore, Easy Fashion Paris, RIOetc, My Little Fashion Diary, Art Of The Trench), during the months of May and October 2011, participant observation and a field log updated daily about the dynamics of data gathering on the bloggers and the interviews. In this process, we distinguished five types of blogs: locative street style; street style cool hunters; street style diary (or ego blogs); corporate and mixed, which are blogs that translate a cultural text about fashion, consumption and daily urban life.Street style blogs are a virtual roadway where the street represents the symbolic universe of the runways and it’s surroundings. It is noteworthy that any version of a street style blog is edited, therefore, it could represent a personal, structural professional or marketer point of view. In this discussion, the street exceeds the dimensions of physical places. It’s all about a relational space, the exuberance of crossing to one sidewalk to another, a laboratory of style construction, a dialogue between persons, the stage of an spectacle and the gateway to stardom for these bloggers and cultural intermediators.
A pesquisa investiga, na sociedade narcisista digital, o fenômeno dos blogs street-style, a fim de compreender suas lógicas e interlocutores, em particular, o imaginário coletivo da moda de rua e as dinâmicas do blogueiro como um flâneur da contemporaneidade e uma figura de moda emblemática. Entre os objetivos, explora-se e descreve-se o movimento do street-style digital do ponto de vista histórico e do viés estrutural-editorial e propõe-se uma sistematização para o gênero blogs street-style por meio de uma tipologia. Partimos do estudo dos aspectos técnicos dos blogs e da conformação dos estilos a partir dos traços da urbanidade moderna e pósmoderna para compreender esses blogs não somente como veículos de comunicação estratégicos, mas como ambientes de interação e espaços de projeção para sujeitos e grupos sociais que buscam reconhecimento e fama. Tomando o eixo da Sociologia Compreensiva, para dar conta do mapeamento do fenômeno da blogagem street-style, realizou-se uma pesquisa quanti-qualitativa que inclui um conjunto de procedimentos, como amplo levantamento dos blogs, processos de coleta e observação netnográfica do corpus (The Sartorialist, The Face Hunter, Garance Dore, Easy Fashion Paris, RIOetc, My Little Fashion Diary, Art Of The Trench), em maio e outubro de 2011, observação participante e registro em diário de campo acerca das dinâmicas da captação dos blogueiros e entrevistas. Nesse processo, diferenciamos cinco tipos de blogs: street-style locativos; street-style cool-hunters; os street-style diary (ou ego-blogs); os corporativos; e os mistos, os quais traduzem um texto cultural da moda, do consumo e do cotidiano urbano. Os blogs street-style são a calçada virtual onde a rua representa o universo simbólico das passarelas e seu entorno.Destaca-se que qualquer versão de blog street-style é editado e, portanto, sempre é um ponto de vista, seja em nível pessoal, profissional-estrutural ou mercadológico. Nessa discussão, a rua ultrapassa a dimensão do ambiente físico. Trata-se de um espaço relacional, da travessia e da exuberância entre uma calçada e outra, é um laboratório de construção de estilos, é o diálogo e a ponte entre as pessoas, é o palco para o espetáculo, e é porta para o estrelato desses bloggers, intermediadores culturais.

Full textThis thesis examines reworkings of the flâneur in France and Britain during the nineteenth century (1806-1869). It suggests that this urban observer emerged out of crossings between French and British print culture. It has endured because it is a protean, composite figure which weaves in and out of literature, journalism and essays. Its roots in print fostered a form of cross-cultural pollination which ensured the power and persistence of the figure. Given the many metamorphoses of the flâneur, the thesis looks at flânerie as a fluid concept which demands both rigour and a possibility of going astray. The corpus reflects this flexibility since it includes newspapers, physiologies, and works by De Quincey, Dickens, Brontë, Balzac or Baudelaire. The thesis begins with a study of the flâneur's origins, exploring how the early Parisian flâneur finds predecessors in the London press. Chapter 2 demonstrates how the flâneur is rooted in the collective literary imagination and is thus inextricably linked to other gazing figures whose traits he adopts and discards as he moves seamlessly through time. Chapter 3 examines how optical technologies altered thé flâneur's "ways of seeing Chapter 4 is a phenomenological exploration of walking, demonstrating that the flâneur's gaze is also created through a living, moving body embedded in time and space. Chapter 5 introduces the concept of croisement, a heuristic device which is used to understand the rôle of the flâneur as go-between and re-read his history as one of constant crossings and crossovers. It concludes that the flâneur's permanent 'out-of-jointness' makes him 'contemporary' - more capable than others of grasping his own time

Full textO presente trabalho visa a problematizar a atrofia da comunicação no mundo educacional; parte do pressuposto de que com o desenvolvimento dos meios de produção capitalista dá-se uma espécie de engessamento das formas de comunicação na contemporaneidade; busca, portanto, refletir sobre a função da educação contemporânea, tendo em vista as transformações nos sistemas de informação e comunicação; tem, também, como seu anelo, fomentar possibilidades de se repensar os limites e as potencialidades da ideia de encontro no espaço educacional; e, por fim, a pensar o ensino como prática de perambulação ou flanagem. Tal problemática dos modos de percepção do outro, de si e do mundo no âmbito educacional toma como operador teórico o pensamento de Walter Benjamin. A flânerie opera, nesse sentido, como um conceito central, tomada tanto como uma metáfora para conceber uma nova forma de compreender os processos de ensino e aprendizagem, como, também, uma ferramenta metodológica para a pesquisa em educação. Assim, a presente dissertação pretende realizar uma revisão bibliográfica com o desafio de discorrer sobre uma suposta cegueira simbólica no contexto educativo contemporâneo, a qual supostamente estaria no cerne do problema do contato. Além disso, intenta-se permitir amplificar a compreensão do pensamento de Walter Benjamin no processo de ensino e aprendizagem nas sociedades industriais.

Full textIn this dissertation, we present a research-intervention experience that was constituted within a socio-educational institution of Rio Grande do Sul. From the work developed by the research group through Wheels of Conversation with adolescents whom complies socio-educational measure, it came to us that the extension to socio-educational agents listening would be important. Without anticipating the experience, we listened to the socioeducators and their growing need to talk about their doing, building, from what was generated in transference, an intervention that initially had the name of Mobile Office of Listening. The massive presentation of real, which was interposing the researcher-psychoanalyst through the aesthetics of the place, the scenes witnessed in the institution and some narratives of the agents was managed by the creation of a methodology inspired by two presuppositions, the psychoanalytic listening and the Walter Benjamin reading of Baudelaire's flâneur. The flânerie gives a distended time to the urgency of the great cities, bringing a lightness and a certain poetics to the work we have been facing with the traumatic, as it was configured as the body correspondence to the floating attention advocated by Freud. In many moments, it was fundamental to simply keep witnessing the horror of the experience (Erlebnis) of the socioeducation, imparting continuity to the work that allowed the socioeducators to feel watched, in addition to being listened – where the flânerie became a intervention. In this sense, psychoanalysis and flânerie are combined in the possibility of opening spaces of narrative, in which the subjects return to lost points of the social history and of their own, sharing them and, perhaps, decanting them in experience (Erfahrung) Faced with the fractured experiences (Erlebnis) that were present in the experience of socioeducation, the first research problem is formalized in methodology. How could psychoanalytic research be in socio-education and how to listen to socioeducators? The core of this dissertation is, therefore, in the presentation of the construction of a singular way of investigation, engendered in the interlocution between the previous constructions of the research group, the particularities of the field and the formation of the researcher-psychoanalyst. Thus was born the listening-flânerie with the socioeducators agents, a research-intervention in the socioeducative institution. In this context, we highlight in the text numerous fragments of this work, rests that evidence a parallel between the narrative of the agents and the psychoanalyst´s itself, beginning with the writing of the diary of experience (Erfahrung) to the construction of this dissertation. In writing we also brought flânerie´s methodology, creating a way of making the experience speak, approximating the words and the images, in an assembly process. Persisting with the listening-flânerie, we were able to be in the socio-educational institution during three periods, from which numerous questions arose. Such an avalanche of experiences (Erlebnis) brought us passages and traces, which decanted the path of the flânerie in the time of the a posteriori, where we are pointing, in the text, to some signifiers that remained in the research We talk about identifications around traumas, fears and feelings of abandonment, we try to bring up the pearls of the narratives of the socioeducators and the borrowed words they collect from adolescents, with special emphasis on the creation of nicknames for the agents. In this flânerie, a second research problem emerged, in view of the numerous difficulties encountered by the socioeducators to carry out their work, stating from the proposition of the Laws that govern the socio-educational system, to the precariousness of the adolescents' experiences that they attend and the fragilities of their own lives. How could the socioeducator transform the traumatic into something new that distances him from the polarity of hopelessness and absolute certainties? A question from which we were referred to the impossible of the work of the socioeducation, we emphasize some problematizations, thinking that, in the narratives of the socioeducators, could emerge a knowledge about theirs doing. We work on the subjects of authority and otherness, play and the creative act of socioeducators, when they can offer themselves as an object to be used by adolescents. Tailoring the creative act to the position of psychoanalytic research, we emphasize that in the context of listening-flânerie, the joke and the validation of experience also emerged as interventions. This makes reference to the listening of the transference and the creativity necessary for the academic research that is based on the presuppositions of psychoanalysis, also offering vigorous in these fields.

Full textThis is a critical reading of On the Road, a novel by the North American writer Jack Kerouac, whose life and work represent the social dissatisfaction and the artistic manifestation of a generation of poets and novelists denominated, in the decades of 50 and 60, The Beat Generation, or The Beatniks. The work consists of an investigation to establish relationships among the triad author-narrator-protagonist in the proposed narrative. Supported by the theory of Walter Benjamin, the chosen theme contemplates the reflections of Benjamin about authorship, experience and modernity; but, above all, it privileges his conception of the flâneur; once the objective of the work is to show his movement and role in the literary corpus, as well as in the life of the Beatnik author. This thesis is divided in three parts. The first presents a brief historical comment on the situation of the United States in the postwar period, in order to contextualize and discuss the creation of the Beat Movement as an avantgardist manifestation. The second part introduces Kerouac and Benjamin, highlighting facts and important moments of their lives and work through the movements of the flâneur. The third moment analyzes On the Road in connection with Walter Benjamin's thoughts and in the extent of the tradition of Travel Literature, emphasizing the relevance of authorship. In the conclusion, I expect to legitimate the role of the flâneur in the narrative and socio-historical scope of that generation.

RESUMO Num âmbito interdisciplinar, o da Geografia e Literatura, a presente dissertação examina a representação da cidade de Lisboa no romance O Ano da Morte de Ricardo Reis, de José Saramago. Da leitura do romance é possível deduzir uma relação significativa entre o protagonista e os lugares por si frequentados, lugares que surgem carregados de memória e de referências textuais. O que une os lugares é o movimento incessante de Ricardo Reis: Lisboa é representada seguindo os seus passos, prática deambulatória que torna visível a dinâmica específica de uma cidade, ao mesmo tempo que nos conduz na busca da sua identidade adiada. O romance deixa perceber uma geografia pessoal, uma estruturação particular do espaço urbano, assim como uma (re)criação do espaço por meio do movimento e de uma percepção que faz apelo a todos os sentidos no espaço-tempo dado pelos percursos. A abordagem seguida no estudo da representação da cidade no romance baseia-se nas teorias de Benjamin a respeito do flâneur. No autor alemão, o flâneur constitui um motivo narrativo e discursivo no qual se firma a representação e percepção da vida moderna no labirinto das grandes cidades. Ricardo Reis desenvolve uma atividade visual contínua, alimentada pelos deslocamentos quase ininterruptos pelo centro antigo de Lisboa. No decurso desses itinerários, é testemunha de um vínculo entre a organização perceptiva dos lugares, dos modos de mobilidade e da relação que o flâneur estabelece com a figura do detetive. A flânerie do protagonista constitui um instrumento de leitura e de figuração de Lisboa, que questiona e critica os fundamentos das representações instituídas da cidade em plena ditadura do Estado Novo.
ABSTRACT In an interdisciplinary context, the one of Geography and Literature, this dissertation examines the representation of Lisbon in the novel of José Saramago, O Ano da Morte de Ricardo Reis. From the reading of the novel it is possible to deduct a significant relationship between the protagonist and the places frequented by him, places that come loaded with memory and textual references. What unites the places is the incessant movement of Ricardo Reis: Lisbon is represented by following in his footsteps, ambulatory practice that makes visible the specific dynamics of a city, while leads in the search for his postponed identity. The novel reveals a personal geography, a particular structuring of urban space, as well as a (re)creation of space through movement and a perception that appeals to all the senses in space-time given by the paths. The approach taken in the study of the representation of the city in the novel is based in Benjamin’s theories regarding the flâneur. In the German author, the flâneur is a narrative and discursive reason in which is based the representation and perception of modern life in the labyrinth of big cities. Ricardo Reis develops a continuous visual activity, fueled by his almost uninterrupted shifts in the old center of Lisbon. During these routes, he is witness to a link between perceptual organization of places, modes of mobility and the relationship that the flâneur establishes with the figure of the detective. The flânerie of the protagonist is a tool for reading and figuring Lisbon, questioning and criticizing the foundations of the of the city representations in the Estado Novo dictartorship.

Full textA pesquisa João do Rio: o repórter com alma de flâneur conduz a crônicareportagem na Belle Époque tropical tem como objeto alguns escritos que integram a obra A Alma Encantadora das Ruas (1908), de João do Rio. O objetivo do trabalho é discorrer sobre a problemática do gênero que envolve esses textos, visando demonstrar que se situam numa posição intermediária, de transição, entre as colaborações estritamente literárias e as especificamente jornalísticas, sendo João do Rio a ponte para o estabelecimento da reportagem contemporânea. A pesquisa se baseia na análise e classificação dos textos que compõem o objeto, os quais, usualmente, são categorizados como crônicas pelos críticos literários. É notória, entretanto, a relevância do discurso jornalístico nos textos de João do Rio. Os capítulos deste estudo acabam então por convergir no sentido de inserir os escritos na categoria de crônicareportagem, conceito que move esta pesquisa. O trabalho abarca, primeiramente, a biografia do escritor e suas influências literárias. A pesquisa perpassa o contexto histórico, social e econômico da primeira década do século vinte, período que contribuiu para a tessitura de textos que mesclam elementos literários e jornalísticos. A flânerie a que adere João do Rio e o desdobramento dessa prática na sua escrita são aqui analisadas. Ao mesmo tempo são feitas algumas considerações estilísticas que asseveram o não pertencimento do flanêur ao espaço que retrata. A evolução e definições da crônica e da reportagem são desenvolvidos no trabalho pelo fato dos textos de João do Rio estarem inseridos numa categoria que conjuga ambos os gêneros: a crônicareportagem. Além dos elementos contextuais e conceituais, o estudo é entremeado por análises detalhadas do objeto.

A obra de João do Rio tem como traço fundamental a relação híbrida, e por vezes controversa, entre literatura e jornalismo. Dialogando com os limites propostos pela crônica e a reportagem, temas variados ligados ao imaginário da cidade múltipla e provisória são recorrentes em seus textos, o que revela uma aguda consciência crítica indicadora da modernidade de sua literatura. Esta característica nos aponta, assim, para um diálogo com Walter Benjamin no que tange à questão da técnica atrelada ao olhar imposto como elemento sensível na leitura e interpretação da metáfora da literatura enquanto experiência urbana. Portanto, nesta dissertação de mestrado propomos uma abordagem benjaminiana que permita uma reflexão mais profunda acerca da obra do escritor carioca. Adotando uma proposta de análise polifônica e dialógica, segundo o pensamento de Mikhail Bakhtin, iremos analisar A alma encantadora das ruas (1908), Cinematógrapho (1909) e Pall-Mall Rio (1917), com vistas a determinar em que medida João do Rio, através da técnica literária empregada em sua obra, intimamente ligada ao ideário estético da flânerie, consegue ler as duas cidades contidas no Rio de Janeiro finissecular, bem como o homem moderno entremeado em seu âmago. ____________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
João do Rio's work has the hybrid, and sometimes controversial, relationship between literature and journalism as primal trait. Dialoguing with the limits proposed by chronic and report, several topics related to the imaginary of the multiple and transitory city recur in his writings, which reveals an acute critical awareness indicator of the modernity of his literature. This feature points out, so far, a dialogue with Walter Benjamin regarding the issue of the technics tied to the look as a sensitive element in the reading and interpretation of literature as a metaphor of urban experience. Therefore, in this dissertation we propose a Benjaminian approach allowing a deeper reflection on João do Rio‘s work. Adopting a polyphonic and dialogical proposal for analysis, according to the thinking of Mikhail Bakhtin, we will examine João do Rio‘s A alma encantadora das ruas (1908 ) , Cinematógrapho (1909 ) and Pall - Mall Rio (1917 ), aiming to determine to what extent João do Rio, through the literary technique employed in his work, closely linked to the aesthetic ideals of dawdling, could read the two cities contained in the fin-de-siècle Rio de Janeiro, as well as the modern man streaky at its core.

Full textThe cinema is a means of mechanical reproduction of image emerged in the late nineteenth century in Europe, a time when society and culture experienced the arrival of modernity. Its presence corroborated to the crisis of pictorial art and its mechanism of apprehending reality was appropriated by artists of the vanguards of rupture, especially the Dadaists, who started using the experimental film to reflect and criticize their time. Many of the artists involved with the avant-garde turned to the production of films that focused on the metropolis and its contradictions in the life and habits of its inhabitants. This work intends to start from this point, when the avant-garde cinema becomes a tool of social and historical documentation, and seeks to observe the presence of the metropolis in films made in the early twentieth century, as well as the presence of its inhabitants, so to understand what aesthetic and ideological procedures permeate these inventive works, at a time when film shows clear differentiation between mere narration for entertainment, and art criticism and reflection. This reseach will analyze the films Rien que les heures (1926), by Alberto Cavalcanti; and Berlin, symphony of the great city (1928), by Walter Ruttmann, and will compare them with Brazilian productions São Paulo, sinfonia da metrópole (1929), by Rudolf Rex Lustig and Adalberto Kemeny; and Fragmentos da vida (1929), by José Medina. The intention is to understand their accomplishments within the social, aesthetic and poetic reality of their time, observe the presence of the figure of the flâneur as opposed to the manof- the-crowd, and draw parallels between European and Brazilian addressed movies here.

CAPES
Leituras-emendas, escrita-performance, narrativas descontínuas, em fluxos. O presente trabalho se apresenta como uma narrativa, uma pesquisa em que a experimentação na escrita pretende explicitamente questionar e “desfazer” algumas normas que regem os modelos acadêmicos. Este texto é também uma performance, portanto, propositadamente artificial e encenada, protagonizada por um narrador que, além de questionar o lócus do pesquisador, acaba por realizar uma crítica à noção de sujeito ontológico, de ciência cartesiana. Em consonância com essa proposta, minha pesquisa-narrativa se debruça sobre um espetáculo artístico-cultural de rua, em Salvador (Beco da OFF, Barra), protagonizado por uma artista transformista da cidade de Salvador, Valerie O’harah: uma mistura de sofisticação, exagero, humor, magia. Lanço também um olhar sobre a noite soteropolitana e aqueles que circulam por ruas, becos e vielas, uma urbe cheia de contradições, encantos e conflitos. A persona a ser encarnada como narrador será a do flâneur, vagabundo e errante urbano relido pela poética baudelairiana e experenciada por João do Rio, Walter Benjamin, entre outros. Esse errante urbano se perde pela metrópole, entre os fluxos e devires dos encontros e possibilidades de uma noite quente e imprevisível: por um instante e um descuido, ele se depara e se encanta com o espetáculo e o contempla. Seria esse narrador uma drag de mim mesmo? Conseguiria, de fato, escapar das normas que incidem através e na linguagem? Portanto, em que medida subvertê-la seria uma política? A personagem protagonista desta minha narrativa não é o simulacro de algum ideário de modernidade burguesa das sociedades contemporâneas, pelo contrário. O errante urbano que se mistura a essa Soterópolis tem como local de fala a abjeção, a lama: ele é o Exu, o “bicho solto”, a bicha latino-americana inconforme que questiona a si, o mundo e as leis que o regem, mas pensando e experenciando a si e o local onde são produzidas as suas errâncias... com as suas cores, ritmos, tons, rasuras, peculiaridades. O meu encontro com Valerie e essa noite quente e arriscada é uma experiência de choque, de alteridade radical alimentada por desejos, estranhamentos, embriaguez e sensibilidades. Identidades que se fragmentam e também se complementam na multidão misteriosa e soturna da cidade de Salvador.
Emendation reading, performance writing, discontinuous narratives, all in flows. The present dissertation presents itself as a narrative, a research in which experimentation in writing intends deliberately to question and undo some of the norms that rule academic writing. This text is also a performance, therefore, purposely artificial and contrived, starring a narrator who, besides questioning the locus of the researcher, ends up actually criticizing the notion of ontological subject of Cartesian science. Consistent with this proposal, my narrative research focuses on a street artistic-cultural spectacle that takes place on the OFF Alley, Barra, Salvador, Brazil, led by a transformist artist named Valerie O'harah: a mixture of sophistication , exaggeration, humor and magic. I also haul a glance at the Soteropolitan night and those who wander through its streets and alleys, a metropolis full of contradiction, enchantment and conflicts. The persona being incarnated as the narrator is the flâneur, a wandering vagabond reread from Baudelairian poetry as experienced by João do Rio, Walter Benjamin, among others. This urban wanderer loses himself in the metropolis amongst flows and becomings of an exciting and unpredictable night: in a moment of carelessness, he stumbles upon the spectacle and becomes mesmerized. Could this narrator be a drag of myself? Could he actually escape from the norms that rule through language and language itself? To what extent its subversion can be politics? The main character of this narrative is not a simulacrum of some modern bourgeoisie ideal of contemporary societies. On the contrary, he has as his place of speech the mud of abjection: he is the Exu, a signal of nonconformity, the Latin-American queer who questions himself, the world and the norms that rule it, experiencing himself and the places where its wanderings take place with their colors, rhythms, tones, erasures, peculiarities. My meeting with Valerie on that hot and risky night is an experience of shock, a radical otherness fueled by desires, estrangements, drunkenness and sensitivities. Identities are fragment and also complement themselves in the mysterious and gloomy crowd of the city of Salvador.

O ano de 2015 é um marco histórico dos 30 anos do fim da Ditadura Militar no Brasil. Comemoram-se também os 30 anos do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) no Estado do Espírito Santo. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo tem como objetivo problematizar as conexões entre as experiências geográficas de formação de educadores de jovens e adultos sem terra do Assentamento Paulo César Vinha, vividas com os territórios do campo, da “roça”, da “rua” e da cidade, e suas práxis nos territórios da Reforma Agrária. Tendo como referência as categorias de Experiência, Narrativa, Memória, Lembrança Encobridora e Práxis, nas perspectivas de Walter Benjamin, Sánchez Vázquez, Paulo Freire, Milton Santos, Edward Thompson, Eric Dardel, Sigmund Freud, entre outros, a pesquisa foi realizada com oito educadores sem terra que atuam na Modalidade da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) da Escola Córrego do Cedro, no Assentamento Paulo César Vinha, que possui vinculação com o MST e está localizado no município de Conceição da Barra, Território Norte do Espírito Santo. Para tanto, o estudo se beneficiou da Observação Participante, na perspectiva dialético-materialista. No processo investigativo, constatou-se que as experiências geográficas de alienação, de negação, de inconformismo e de idealização dos educadores sem terra são unificadas e transformadas nas práxis do MST, configurando-se como experiências geográficas das práxis nas perspectivas de recriar e (re)experienciar as Geografias Comunitárias Camponesas Sem Terra habitacional, econômica, educacional, religiosa, do lazer e da saúde. Dessa forma, os educadores transformam a si mesmos nessa experiência geográfica inconformista de recriação das geografias alienadas, perdidas ou idealizadas. A pesquisa apontou também para a possibilidade de superação das concepções e práticas restritas de formação inicial e formação continuada na Educação de Jovens e Adultos do campo e da cidade, por meio da constituição da formação comunitária, que não apenas considera e valoriza as experiências de educadores, mas que também concebe a sua transformação nas práxis, voltando-se para o atendimento aos anseios, demandas e interesses dos sujeitos da EJA na ótica da Educação Popular.
L'année 2015 est un point de repère du 30e anniversaire de la fin de la Dictature Militaire au Brésil. Ils célèbrent aussi le 30e anniversaire du Mouvement des Travailleurs Ruraux Sans Terre (MST) dans l'État de L´Espírito Santo. Dans ce contexte, l'objectif de la présente recherche consiste à problématiser les connexions entre les expériences géographiques de la formation des éducateurs de jeunes et des adultes sans terre de l´Assentamento Paulo César Vinha, qu' ont été vécues avec des territoires du champ, la “ferme”, la “rue” et ville, et sa praxis dans les territoires de la réforme agraire. Parmi les catégories d'expérience, la narratif, la mémoire, le souvenir écran et la Praxis, les perspectives de Walter Benjamin, Sánchez Vázquez, Paulo Freire, Milton Santos, Edward Thompson, Eric Dardel, Sigmund Freud, entre autres, la recherche a été menée avec huit éducateurs sans terre qui travaillent dans la L´Éducation des Jeunes et des Adultes (EJA) de l´école Córrego do Cedro, dans la Communauté de l´Assentamento Paulo César Vinha, qui est lié avec le MST et est située dans la municipalité de Conceição da Barra, Territoire Nord du Espírito Santo. Par conséquent, l'étude a bénéficié de l'observation participante, dans la perspective dialectique matérialiste. Dans le processus d'enquête, il a été constaté que les expériences collectives géographiques de l'aliénation, déni, de non-conformité et de l'idéalisation des éducateurs sans terre sont unifiés et transformé dans les práxis du MST, devenant comme des expériences géographiques de la praxis des points de vue de (re)créer et (re)découvrir les Géographies Paysan Communautaires Sans Terre de l´habitation, économique, éducatif, religieuse, les loisirs et la santé; ainsi, les éducateurs se transforment. La recherche a également souligné la possibilité de surmonter les conceptions et pratiques de formation initiale limitées de la formation continue pour l´Éducation des Jeunes et des Adultes dans la campagne et la ville, à travers le renforcement de la formation de la communauté qui non seulement examine et évalue les expériences des éducateurs, mais qui conçoit sa transformation dans la praxis, se tournant pour répondre aux souhaits et les intérêts des sujets de l´Éducation des Jeunes et des Adultes dans la perspective de l'éducation populaire.

Full textEntitled The art of walking, creating in the footsteps of artist wanderers - Theoretical elements for sound mapping of moving and expanding ambulation spaces, our research proposes to examine the potential fertility of the practices of visual artists who actively use the body in walking as the motor element of transversal creations that can be explored. It examines the theoretical issues of this artistic practice, walking being a mode of travel known for its slowness, at a time when society imposes an accelerated pace and effervescent occupation of territories that go against such practices. Our theoretical research is backed by a personal artistic production, supported by conversations with many artists whose movement is the heart of their creation. In our view, the representation developed by Western societies of the space in which we operate has been so far mainly visual but proves to be more and more defined through its sound dimension. Therefore, we propose to evaluate through this perspective, the interest of many areas of artistic ambulation around themes developed by the creative act of walking: creative landscape, urbanism, mobility, networks, archipelagos or constellations. Our proposal is to examine the landscapes in their sound and visual dimensions and the way they are used by artists, sensitive witnesses of an era of mobility, to build future spaces of ambulation as mobile utopias

Full textThis thesis undertakes an analysis of how six published works by the South African writer Ivan Vladislavić form the perspective of writing the city – Johannesburg – into being. Beginning from the basis that Vladislavić’s writing constitutes what I have coined dialogic postcolonialism, the thesis engages with both broader contemporary urban and postcolonial theory in order to show the liminal imaginative space that the author occupies in his narrations of Johannesburg. Underlining the notion of postcolonialism being a “work in progress” my thesis problematises the issue of representation of the postcolonial city through different aspects like space, urbanity, identity and the self, and thus locates each of the texts under consideration at a particular locus in Vladislavić’s representational continuum of the continually transforming city of Johannesburg. Until the recent appearance of Mariginal Spaces – Reading Vladislavić (2011) the extant critical literature and research on the writing of Ivan Vladislavić has, as far as I can tell, not engaged with his work as a body of creative consideration and close analysis of the city of Johannesburg. Even this latest text largely consists of previously published reviews and articles by disparate critics and academics. The trend has therefore largely been to analyse the texts separately, without treating them as the building blocks to an ongoing and perhaps unending project of imaginatively bringing the city into being. Such readings have thus been unable to decipher and characterise the threads which have emerged over the period of the writer’s literary engagement with and representation of Johannesburg. I suggest that, as individual texts and as a collection or body of work, Ivan Vladislavić’s Missing Persons (1989), The Folly (1993), Propaganda by Monuments and Other Stories (1996), The Restless Supermarket (2006 – first published in 2001), The Exploded View (2004) and Portrait with Keys: Joburg & what-what (2006), are engaged in framing representations of the postcolonial city, representations which can in my view best be analysed through the prism of deconstructive engagement. To this end, the thesis examines contemporary South African urbanity or the post-apartheid metropolitan space (as epitomised by the fictive Johannesburg) and how it is represented in literature as changing, and in the process of becoming. As a consequence, the main conclusion I arrive at is on how the irresolvable nature of the city is reflected in the totality of Ivan Vladislavić’s writing. In that way, it was possible to treat every text in its own right (rather than forcing it to conform to an overarching thesis). This central insight allowed for the effective application of urban theory to the close readings of the texts.

Full textIn Christian allegoric texts the Pilgrim traditionally symbolizes the journey of mankind to heaven. From the second half of the 19th century on, poets, travelers, and vagabonds pursued the quest of an afterlife from within city walls. This dissertation examines the different representations of modern wandering via an in-depth analysis of the theme as encountered in French and Czech literature and arts from the early 19th century to the 1940's. It reveals, in chronological order, the different artistic approaches to modernity. By bringing out the various patterns that emerge from the texts, while taking into account the historical and social contexts in which they were created, this work adds to existing knowledge on the cultural similarities between France and Bohemia. It also examines the different literary genres which originate from mankind’s need to walk and write the world
