2015 Day of Ideas - Reviving the Flaneur Other events...
Flaneur: A literary and theoretical urban figure who walks and experiences the city.

The idea of flanerie, or what Balzac once described as 'the gastronomy of the eye', is experiencing a revival. The idea of strolling, no longer by a lone male of a certain class, but by one observing, experiencing and now connecting with the modern city is the theme for the 2015 Day of Ideas. The symposium brings together presenters from art history, philosophy, literature, urban design, culture studies and music bridging the past to the future in what we expect will be another exciting day.

Cost: $60
