Resumen
JAYO, Martin. An anonymous flâneur in São Paulo: a dissident look at the metropolis of the Fourth Centenary. CIDADES [online]. 2022, vol.44, pp.230-255. Epub 15-Jun-2022. ISSN 2182-3030. https://doi.org/10.15847/cct.25796.
This paper aims to reflect on the city of São Paulo in the 1950s and its representations. If, on the one hand, hegemonic representations are usually impregnated with a strongly boastful discourse, on the other hand, individuals who experienced the city at the time in an everyday, anonymous way can reveal other views. With a micro-historical approach, we sought to investigate the experience and impressions of one particular individual: an anonymous French visitor who explored the city with a flâneur eye from September to November 1952. The analysis of a set of street photographs and personal notes produced by this person reveals a city quite different from the official one, with urban realities silenced by the hegemonic discourse.
