Resumo: Georg Simmel’s The Metropolis and Mental Life is treated as a seminal study of urban sociology and of the analysis of human behavior in metropolitan contexts. A relationship between the blasé attitude and the appearance of the flâneur is established. The latter is seen through Franz Hessel’s writings, in the late 1920s, which present a somewhat romantic view of the pre World War II in Europe. The article ends up by questioning whether flânerie still exists in today’s global South megacities. The author makes use of J. Seabrook’s recent writings to show the deep transformation Simmel’s metropolis went through in the past hundred years. If we can still talk of flânerie, it has certainly undergone a very radical change in nature which leads to an epistemic revision of the canon in urban sociology.

Estabelece-se uma relação entre a atitude blasé e o surgimento da figura do flâneur. Esta é tratada a partir dos contributos de Franz Hessel de finais da década de 1920 que retrata com algum romantismo o universo metropolitano europeu anterior à Segunda Guerra Mundial. A terminar, o texto interroga a existência da flânerie nas megacidades do sul global de hoje. O autor usa o recente relato de J. Seabrook para ilustrar como, passados cem anos, a metrópole de Simmel passou por profundíssimas transformações. Se se puder ainda falar de flânerie, certamente ela sofreu uma alteração radical da sua natureza. De tal modo que essa mudança implica a revisão epistémica da sociologia urbana.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2013-04-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/14759Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 13 No. 26 (2011): subjetividade e cultura na metrópole contemporânea; 379-393Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 13 Núm. 26 (2011): subjetividade e cultura na metrópole contemporânea; 379-393Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 13 No. 26 (2011): subjetividade e cultura na metrópole contemporânea; 379-393Cadernos Metrópole; v. 13 n. 26 (2011): subjetividade e cultura na metrópole contemporânea; 379-3932236-99961517-2422reponame:Cadernos Metrópole (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/14759/10763Fortuna, Carlosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-05-15T13:58:45Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/14759Revistahttps://revistas.pucsp.br/metropolePRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phpcadernosmetropole@outlook.com||cadernosmetropole@outlook.com2236-99961517-2422opendoar:2024-05-15T13:58:45Cadernos Metrópole (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
