The Flaneuse as Ragpicker: Urban Recollection in Sophie Calle and Régine Robin
Date, & Times: March 10, 2026, From: 04:20 p.m., To: 06:30 p.m.
Location: F.S.U. • Winthrop~King Institute, Diffenbaugh Bldg., Room 009
Keynote Speaker: Catherine Nesci, University of California at Santa Barbara
About The Event:
French conceptual artist Sophie Calle and Franco-Canadian writer and sociologist Régine Robin (1939–2021) reimagine and perform the marginalized figure of the ragpicker. By redefining their roles as flâneuses and navigating the layered temporalities of modern cities, they not only testify to the ever-changing rhythms of urban life; they also uncover ghosts, remnants of the repressed past, and traces of the disappeared. Their textual and visual cityscapes will be explored as a cultural space where the mental, corporeal, and material intersect, hence through theories and aesthetics that shape agencies and art out of the tangible realities of megapolises.
