Decentring the Flâneur: global histories of walking the early modern city

Date
15 - 16/11/2019
Location:
London, The Courtauld Institute of Art
Description
Call for papers for this conference which aims to de-centre the concept of Le Flâneur, with modernity and European cities, and expand such critique by identifying and analysing forms of pedestrian observation in the early modern period taking note of the fact that strolling, seeing and being seen—and 'walking the city'—emerged well before Europe and the 19th century in urban experiences in cities like Istanbul, Isfahan, Delhi and Beijing.
