dc.description.abstractWhile the clever, detached, and entitled flâneur freely made his way about town, women historically were limited in their urban mobility, which made them invisible as critics of urban modernity. The flâneuse was an unimaginable notion. By hypothesizing an embodied flâneuse, this study will examine modern novels whose characters engage in flânerie in ways that may be at once similar and distinctive regarding the tradition. Three authors who present compelling figures of the flâneuse are the British author Jean Rhys, and American authors Djuna Barnes, and Anita Loos. The protagonists in these select texts obviously do not embody the “traditional” flâneur figure; however, their participation expands the timbre of flânerie by examining the urban and social populous from an alternative point of view.en_US
dc.description.abstractTandis que le « véritable » flâneur, subtil et insouciant, se frayait librement un chemin dans la ville, les femmes étaient historiquement assignées à des espaces plus circonscrits, ce qui les rendait, de fait, invisibles en tant que critiques de la modernité urbaine. Cet article postule que le personnage de la flâneuse est un moyen efficace de réévaluer certains romans modernes dans leur relation à la tradition littéraire. En s’attachant à trois figures de flâneuses « excentriques » imaginées par Jean Rhys, Djuna Barnes et Anita Loos, on verra comment ces auteurs s’emparent de la notion de flânerie pour l’enrichir de nouvelles nuances et donner à lire le phénomène urbain et social d’un autre point de vue.en_US
