摘要
在本雅明的笔下,现代都市中的游荡者既是现代性的产物,也是现代性的观察者。游荡者漫无目的地在都市中游逛,行走在店铺林立的街头,穿梭于熙攘的人群中,欣赏着商品经济制造的琳琅满目的文化形象,但却脱离于现代都市生活的节奏。游荡者被现代都市生活所遗弃,但又深处都市生活的中心地带,以冷眼旁观的姿态观察着都市生活,他的视角是那些忙忙碌碌的都市男女所不具备的,正是这个视角使他能够洞悉都市生活的本质。
In the description of Walter Benjamin, the flaneur in modern metropolis is the product as well as the observer of it. They are wandering aimlessly in the metropolis, walking on the street lined up with stores and observing all kinds of cultural images created by commercial economics. They are shuttling among people but isolated from the pace of modern city life. They are deserted by modern life, but observe this life as an on-looker in the heart of city. They have a unique perspective, different from those busy citizens, which enables them to perceive the nature of city life.
