Listen "Reading 2: Flâneussing"
Episode Synopsis
Diving into some poetry, Hugo and Brian read the works of Charles Baudelaire and Rita Dove, in dissecting the image of Paris represented as a woman. Questions arise, such as: Should men be allowed to describe women? Is poetry ever good or useful? Will our power be turned back on in the apartment? We also discuss the writings of Lauren Elkin and Rebecca Solnit in exploring the concept of The Flâneuse, who Hugo considers to be the archetypal Flâneur. James offers deft insight as per usual. Spanish readings are to be discussed at a later date, when Brian learns how to read.
