Edgardo Scott's Literary Walk Through Paris and Buenos Aires
Argentine writer and psychoanalyst Edgardo Scott has published a literary essay on walking, 'Du flâneur au vagabond', with Éditions Riveneuve. Born in Buenos Aires, Scott draws on a lineage of migrants and flâneurs, weaving references to Freud, Lacan, Foucault, Edgar Allan Poe, Baudelaire, Walter Benjamin, Cortázar, and Borges. The book explores the figure of the flâneur and the vagabond, reflecting on urban wandering and intellectual peregrination. Scott's own flânerie has taken him to Paris, where he now resides. The essay was featured on RFI's 'En Sol Majeur' podcast on May 17, 2026, with a musical program including Edmundo Rivero, Aparte, and The Divine Comedy.
