This project argues that the  flâneur ’s role in the edification of modern Paris has been hyperbolized. It will reconsider the categories through which Paris has been constructed around the  topos  of the  flâneur  by using the concept of the  contre-flâneur . As the term suggests, I will reexamine the represented urban space stripped of the priority typically granted to the  flâneur  and contrast the motion of the  flâneur  with the circulations of the  contre-flâneurs : as opposed to the  flâneur’s  movements, those of  contre-flâneurs  are purposeful, and their presence leaves a material imprint on the cityscape. Scholarship tends to link the modern idea of mobility with the aimless wanderings of the  flâneur , setting aside more utilitarian and varied forms of circulation that were just as typical of the modern city. Studying the capital’s  contre-flâneurs  opens up a new perspective on the role of utilitarian circulation in nineteenth-century representation, while bringing new participants, functions, systems, and socialities into the scholarship about nineteenth-century modernity.
