Our gratitude to Web Curios for encouraging us to delve deeper into de facto and de jure and de jour superficial topic of dilettantism to find it very resonant and feeling seen, in the same vein as I am a proud soi-disant vaguely Jesus-y bon vivant—a phrase I’ve apparently deployed several times—flaneur and how amateurish ought to be spared derision as something pure. Whilst at first glance as spectator in spectacle and ranked beneath experts and influencer underwritters, we weren’t sure than the term for a non-professional interest, though derived from the Latin for to take delight in, could be redeemed in a specialised, hyper-focused world, the dabbler’s fixation and curation is presented as an anti-hero, liberated, and the sort needed to buck preference and privilege from pigeon-holing to the pluralistic.
