Abstract

This paper analyses, through the reading of Walter Benjamin, the differences between the flanêur and the man of the crowd in Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The man of the Crowd”, as well as the constitution of the flanêur as a privileged observer of that society and flanêurie as a means of apprehension and representation of that new space.
