ENCOUNTERS: FLÂNEUR AND STRANGER

Dear all,

I wouldn't blame you if you find the readings too much.





Therefore I think you could focus on these two first,

Walter Benjamin, “On Some Motifs on Baudelaire”[especially the part on Flaneur]

Linda Chiu-Han Lai, “Whither The Walker Goes: Spatial Practices And Negative Poetics In 1990s Chinese Urban Cinema”, The Urban Generation: Chinese Cinema And Society At The Turn Of The Twenty-First Century, eds. Zhang Zhen, 2007

[pay more attention to the part on Suzhou River]

You could save these for further reading

Marshall Berman, “Baudelaire: Modernism in the Streets” [great work, so here goes the whole book]

http://pan.baidu.com/s/1EJpKa

Reference Reading

Thomas, Mcdonough. “the derive and Situationist Paris”, Situacionistas/Situationists: Arte, Politica, Urbanismo/Art, Politics, Urbanism

[for those of you who are interested in Art History, you shouldn't miss this!!!]
