Book Chapter
The Flâneuse and the Aesthetics of the Female Gaze
2022
Overview
In the nineteenth century, women did not enjoy the same freedom as men to flâner in the city. By the turn of the century, however, the ethics that prescribed women's movement, visibility, and behaviour in public spaces were strongly challenged as women were increasingly integrated into the urban workforce. This sociological phenomenon transformed both public space and the cinematic aesthetics that reflected that space. This chapter analyses the feminist pedestrian acts in Lois Weber's
Shoes (1916), a powerful representation of underpaid female labour and the insecure economic and social conditions of working-class women. It contextualizes Weber's activist filmmaking as an aesthetic practice in a Rancièrian sense through representation of precarious women's pedestrianism in the city.
