Wikipedia Definition of Flâneur

I found a very interesting and well researched entry on Wikipedia concerning the word "flâneur".  Click on the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fl%C3%A2neur .  The basic meaning of "flâneur" is someone who strolls.  I think from viewing some of the entries here that it is far more than 'strolling.' It can be considered an entire methodology of research.  For a more developed version of what it means to be an urban  flâneur go to the article published in Urbana by Jesus Trevino: http://www.tamuk.edu/geo/urbana/Fall2006/flaneur.pdf
