Abstract

At the time of the new technologies of the information, the urban condition has metamorphosed: the city and the idea of survival participate to an urban imaginary reflected by the Medias. This perception of the urban space under a cinematographic space-time logic is a redefinition of the flâneur in which the imagination leave the saturation of modern illusions, pushing us toward moments of morbid ecstasy: a sedative hallucination that is lived through a such intensity that question our sense of the city by means of a new body assessment.
