Abstract

The intention of this article is to draw a parallel between the experience of nineteenth-century urban space represented by the flânerie and the new experience that diffuses in the beginning of the 21st century in cyberspace, trying to recognize in the latter a new condition of flânerie or the appearance of cyberflâneur.
