Strolling through the (post)modern city: Modes of being a flaneur in picture books

The city and the urban condition, popular subjects of art, literature, and film, have been commonly represented as fragmented, isolating, violent, with silent crowds moving through the hustle and bustle of a noisy, polluted cityspace. Included in this diverse artistic field is children’s literature—an area of creative and critical inquiry that continues to play a central role in illuminating and shaping perceptions of the city, of city lifestyles, and of the people who traverse the urban landscape. Fiction’s textual representations of cities, its sites and sights, lifestyles and characters have drawn on traditions of realist, satirical, and fantastic writing to produce the protean urban story—utopian, dystopian, visionary, satirical—with the goal of offering an account or critique of the contemporary city and the urban condition. In writing about cities and urban life, children’s literature variously locates the child in relation to the social (urban) space. This dialogic relation between subject and social space has been at the heart of writings about/of the flâneur: a figure who experiences modes of being in the city as it transforms under the influences of modernism and postmodernism. Within this context of a changing urban ontology brought about by (post)modern styles and practices, this article examines five contemporary picture books: The Cows Are Going to Paris by David Kirby and Allen Woodman; Ooh-la-la (Max in love) by Maira Kalman; Mr Chicken Goes to Paris and Old Tom’s Holiday by Leigh Hobbs; and The Empty City by David Megarrity. I investigate the possibility of these texts reviving the act of flânerie, but in a way that enables different modes of being a flâneur, a neo-flâneur. I suggest that the neo-flâneur retains some of the characteristics of the original flâneur, but incorporates others that take account of the changes wrought by postmodernity and globalization, particularly tourism and consumption. The dual issue at the heart of the discussion is that tourism and consumption as agents of cultural globalization offer a different way of thinking about the phenomenon of flânerie. While the flâneur can be regarded as the precursor to the tourist, the discussion considers how different modes of flânerie, such as the tourist-flâneur, are an inevitable outcome of commodification of the activities that accompany strolling through the (post)modern urban space.

Of old and new. Messages conveyed by Australian Universities

On arriving at the University of Queensland, I walked from where the taxi dropped me off towards the Great Court. As I walked I could see the carvings in the sandstone on the façade of the building in front of me. The carvings depict images of land, flora, fauna, settlers, and us. In the corner of my right sight of vision, I could see Mayne Hall. My mind flicked back in what was an instant to a time 30 plus years ago. I remember putting on some of my best clothes when my family would travel form the suburb of Inala to the Alumni book fair held in the Hall. We needed to act ‘discrete’ and like we were ‘meant to be there’. Members of my family would work hard to save money to buy the books that had far more substance than the books at our local community or school library. This was my first interaction with the University of Queensland. On the first day of Courting Blakness, I walked towards and then into the Great Court. I began to explore and engage with the artworks and allow them to engage with me. I was conscious of being in the University of Queensland as I had been on all my past visits. I was conscious of the public and the private aspects of the artworks along with the public observance and surveillance of the viewers of the artworks. The contradictions and struggles that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience are everywhere when moving in spaces and places, including universities. They contain prevailing social, political and economic values in the same way that other places do. The symbols of place and space within universities are never neutral, and they can work to either marginalise and oppress Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, or demonstrate that they are included and engaged. The artworks in the Great Court were involved in this matrix of mixed messages and the weaves of time contained the borders of the Court and within the minds of those present.

Las Prophetiae Merlini de Geoffrey de Monmouth en los Baladros castellanos: estado de la cuestión

Resumen: La Historia regum Britanniae (circa 1139) del obispo galés Geoffrey de Monmouth, texto destacado en el corpus latino medieval a causa de sus proyecciones tanto historiográficas como ficcionales, tiene como objeto referir los actos de todos los monarcas célticos de la Gran Bretaña anteriores a la conquista germánica. En este propósito, sus capítulos 112 a 117 obran como una mise en abîme puesto que las Prophetiae Merlini que allí se leen, atribuidas al famoso mago pero inspiradas en la literatura apocalíptica vétero y neotestamentaria, reproducen proféticamente las grandes líneas de contenido de la propia crónica, e incluso anticipan la restauración definitiva de los celtas derrotados. Aunque Wace, Chrétien de Troyes y la tradición romancística francesa posterior, deudora de la Historia en muchos puntos, desecharon el texto a causa de su agudo hermetismo, el mismo sí se difundió por el continente y reapareció asombrosamente interpolado, en versión castellana, dentro de dos tardíos ejemplares del género caballeresco hispánico, el Baladro del sabio Merlín con sus profecías (Burgos, 1498) y la primera parte de la Demanda del santo Grial (Sevilla, 1535). La presente comunicación tiene como objetivos reseñar los actuales conocimientos de la crítica acerca de esta versión castellana de las Prophetiae y señalar los problemas aún pendientes de resolución; serán consideradas las contribuciones fundamentales relativas al original latino y, también, a las versiones francesas conservadas, dada la posibilidad de que nuestra traducción tenga una fuente gala
