Sanayi Devrimi ve sonrasında oluşan, endüstriyel ve teknolojik  gelişmeleri  sanatsal, kültürel, toplumsal ve politik perspektifte  gözlemleyen ve üzerinde  düşünüp fikir gelişteren  flanör, 19. ve 20.yüzyıl kent karakteridir. Flanör; modernite ile  yaşanan teknolojik gelişmeleri “gözlemleyen özne” olarak, temsil ettiği toplumsal kimliklerin ve yaşadığı radikal dönemin dönüştürücü bir figürü olmuştur.  Günümüz flanörü postmodernitenin sembolü olarak, “tüketici” kimliğiyle 19.yüzyılın flanöründen ayrışmaktadır. Çeşitli iletişim aygıtları ve bilgisayarla dijital alanda kendi varsıllığını devam ettiren flanör, hayallerin gerçeklere yenik düştüğü platformlarda görsel ve işitsel deneyimler yaşamaktadır. Sanal dünyanın zihinsel kolektivizmine uyum sağlayan  dijital flanör; öğrenme, paylaşma, üretkenlik gücünü  yeni medya aracılığıyla ortaya çıkarmıştır. Dijital arenada yaşanan ileri iletişim teknolojileri ve sağladığı olanaklar, reel yaşam olgusunun simüle edilmesine neden olmaktadır. Küresel salgını yaşadığımız son yıllarda, Covid-19 sürecinin yarattığı izole yaşamla, ekran arkasında ve sayısal ortamlarda normalleşme sürecinin gerekliliklerini yerine getiren ve toplumsal birey olma görevini inşa eden flanör, post-modern süreçte yaşanan krizin risklerini atlatmanın peşindedir. Bu merkezde çalışmada, sanayi devriminin yarattığı ve kalıcı kıldığı dönüşümlerin yansımaları betimsel  yöntemle incelenmiştir.

Flanor has no time worries. The bourgeois barely creates a free time for himself from his overwhelmed work; Whereas, Flanor's time is free. Flanör's wandering is as if a demonstration march against the modern division of labor, whose time he rationalized through consensus. Especially in the panorama of the modern city symbolized by Paris, the passages have a special importance in terms of providing the opportunity to navigate. In time, a character that understands the language of the city, is compatible with this new way of life that justifies its idleness, is successful in combating competition and uncanny, a human sarraf and observer is born. In Benjamin's words, the idleness of the flanger, who "traces the piece of paper he left in the breeze of the wind", combines with his good use of his intuition and his quick grasp. The flange, which wanders in environments with abundant visual images, is fed from streets and passages that represent the urban culture that develops with modernity. The universe we live in has emerged in a period of two centuries, increasing its speed and continuing social changes.                These changes originating from Western Europe are now global. The essence of these changes is the 18th and 19th centuries. It is related to the events that they define as the "two great revolutions" of Europe. The first of these is the French Revolution of 1789, which is a symbol of political transformations. The second "great revolution" is the "industrial revolution" that emerged in Britain at the end of the 18th century and spread throughout Western Europe and the United States in the 19th century. The political and social effects of these revolutions all over the world brought the phenomenon of modernity with them. (Giddens, 2010, s. 1-114)  Observing the industrial and technological developments that occurred during and after the Industrial Revolution in artistic, cultural, social and political perspectives, and thinking and developing ideas on it, the flange is a 19th and 20th century city character. Flanger; As the subject of “observing” the technological developments experienced with modernity, he has become a transformative figure of the social identities he represents and the radical era he lived in. In recent years, when we have experienced a global epidemic, the flaner, who fulfills the requirements of the normalization process behind the screen and in digital environments with the isolated life created by the Covid-19 process, and has built the task of being a social individual, is after the risks of the crisis in the post-modern process. In this center, the reflections of the transformations created and made permanent by the industrial revolution were evaluated with a descriptive method.
