Book Chapter
The Flâneur as Filmmaker
2022
Overview
This chapter investigates flânerie as a filmmaking practice undertaken by Lumière cinématographe operators in the late nineteenth century. It first explores the socio-historical context that led to flânerie being vilified as aimless and unproductive movement in the face of an industrialist ethics that envisioned rationalization of production through maximum integration of the human body into automation. Shifting its focus to the conceptualizations of flânerie in artistic and social discourse, it analyses flânerie-inspired cinematic aesthetics through an in-depth study of city scenes in Lumière filmography. It proposes three aesthetic components of early cinematic aesthetics of walking, inspired by flânerie: the gaze as a wandering eye, the drift as porous framing, and crowds as the paradox of detached belonging.
