Resumo
Este trabalho tem como objeto de estudo o flâneur no pensamento de Walter
Benjamin. Nos concentraremos especialmente no seu modelo de existência que
atesta a crise da experiência na modernidade – modelo este caracterizado tanto
pelo declínio da experiência tradicional (Erfahrung) como pelo surgimento da
vivência do choque (Chockerlebnis). Em consequência dessa crise, o flâneur tornase
o retrato do intelectual/artista que precisa refletir sobre sua própria situação
histórica para que possa compreender e tentar redefinir seu papel e sua atuação
sociais sob pena de sucumbir às demandas do mercado no cenário capitalista pósRevolução
Industrial, marcado pelos meios de produção e por mudanças na
percepção humana com o avanço da técnica e da urbanização no século XIX e
início do XX. Como um tipo que vive no limiar (Schwelle) entre o passado histórico –
representado pelo tempo da tradição e da transmissão de experiências coletivas
duradouras e compartilháveis – e o presente – representado pela vivência do
choque, que marca o tempo moderno da imediatez, da repetição, da reprodução
incessante e do consumo que transforma todas as coisas em mercadorias –
Benjamin apresenta o flâneur como aquele que ainda dispõe de fragmentos da
verdadeira experiência histórica e, por reconhecer a distância que o afasta dessa
experiência, ele representa a busca por uma consciência histórica atual.
The aim of this research is the flâneur in Walter Benjamin's thought. We will look specially upon his model of existence which testifies modernity's experience crisis characterized by the decline of the traditional experience (Erfahrung) as well as the arising of chock experience (Chockerlebnis). In the account of this crisis, the flâneur becomes the portrait of the intellectual/artist who needs to rethink upon his own historical position in order to comprehend and remodel his role as well as social behavior, otherwise he may fall into the market demands in a capitalistic postIndustrial Revolution scenario, labelled by the means of production and by the changes in human perception derived from technical advancement and reurbanization in the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth. As a type living in between historical past – represented by time of tradition and transmission of long lasting and sharing collective experiences – and present – represented by shock experience which conceives modern time as immediacy, repetition, uninterrupted reproduction, and consumption which transforms everything into commodities – Benjamin presents the flâneur as the one who still disposes of fragments of real historical experience, and that by recognizing the distance which sets him apart from this same experience, he represents the quest for real historical conciousness.
