The Art of Taking a Walk: Flanerie, Literature, and Film in Weimar Culture 1st edition
Anke Gleber
In an age transformed by industrialism, the flaneur drifted through city streets, inspired and repelled by the surrounding scenes of splendor and squalor. This work examines this often elusive figure in the particular contexts of Weimar Germany and the intellectual sphere of Walter Benjamin, with whom the concept of flanerie is often associated.
