"'''Flâneur'''" is a [[word]] understood intuitively by the French to mean "stroller, idler, walker." He has been portrayed in the past as a well-dressed man, strolling leisurely through the Parisian arcades of the nineteenth century--a shopper with no intention to buy, an [[intellectual]] parasite of the arcade. Traditionally the traits that mark the flâneur are wealth, [[education]], and idleness. He strolls to pass the time that his wealth affords him, treating the people who pass and the objects he sees as [[text]]s for his own pleasure. An anonymous face in the multitude, the flâneur is free to probe his surroundings for clues and hints that may go unnoticed by the others.[http://www.thelemming.com/lemming/dissertation-web/home/flaneur.html]
