Download or read book Neue Wege in ein neues Europa written by Ralf Roth and published by Campus Verlag. This book was released on 2009-04-14 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seit dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion fügt sich Europa neu zusammen. Europa ist aber nicht nur ein Raum von Werten und Ideen, sondern auch ein Verkehrsraum. Das geteilte Europa war bestimmt von zerschnittenen Verkehrswegen, mit Endstationen an den Grenzen zwischen West und Ost. 1989 begann man, gerissene Linien wieder in Betrieb zu nehmen. Ohne einen einheitlichen und modernisierten Verkehrsraum kann es ein neues und vereintes Europa nicht geben. Entfernung und Nähe, Versorgung und Verteilung von Gütern, Ideen und Menschen sind ohne das Medium des Verkehrs nicht denkbar. Die 25 Autorinnen und Autoren greifen zentrale Aspekte des komplexen Themas Verkehr und dessen Bedeutung für eine moderne Geschichtsschreibung auf und zeigen, wie Europa im 20. Jahrhundert durch Verkehr und Mobilität gestaltet wurde.

Book Synopsis The German Autobahn 1920-1945 by : Richard Vahrenkamp
Download or read book The German Autobahn 1920-1945 written by Richard Vahrenkamp and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2010 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expressway network in Europe developed into an essential infrastructure of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century and provided means of commuting, as well as accommodated leisure travel and the cargo supply for the mass consumption society. This book discusses, how expressways were developed in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. It focuses on the various forerunner projects and the role of the Hafraba association, which has been significant in the Hessian region, with its actors in Kassel, Frankfurt and Darmstadt. It is shown, how the Autobahn concept developed, from the Italian expressways to the Bonn-Cologne Autobahn and to the design of the Nazi Autobahn project. The Bonn-Cologne Autobahn was the first Autobahn in Germany, opened in 1932 by Konrad Adenauer, later Chancellor of West-Germany. This Autobahn section is here explored for the first time. As part of the Nazi Mega Project various regional legs are explored and for the first time drawn to scholary attention: The leg Frankfurt-Kassel-Göttingen, the leg Frankfurt-Darmstadt-Heidelberg-Karlsruhe and the leg Munich-Salzburg. The goals of the Nazi mega project are evaluated. Further the book shows, how traffic on the Autobahn developed and which experiences were made by driving on the Autobahn. The book discusses various approaches towards a theory on infrastructure.
Book Synopsis Linking Networks: The Formation of Common Standards and Visions for Infrastructure Development by : Hans-Liudger Dienel
Download or read book Linking Networks: The Formation of Common Standards and Visions for Infrastructure Development written by Hans-Liudger Dienel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting recent research on the international integration of infrastructures in Europe, this book combines general and methodological chapters and examples from different a variety of sectors such as transport, electricity and communication networks. Particular focus is on the contrast between the 'Europe of nation states' of the nineteenth century (up to 1914) and the emerging 'integrated Europe' after World War II. Additional contributions provide perspectives from beyond Europe. The wide range of topics gives a good overview of the different challenges posed and the strategies employed in each sector to establish internationally compatible networks, procedures and standards. This work strengthens comparative research as a complement to the detailed analysis of singular cases that often characterises previous works in this field. Methodologically, it therefore contributes to the progress of tools and strategies for comparative historical research. Part of the emerging research area dealing with the mechanisms of international collaboration, this book brings together recent research from European integration history, policy studies, political economy and cultural studies. Considering the growing intensity of international collaboration and exchange in many parts of social and economic life, it is also of topical interest.

Download or read book Iron Landscapes written by Felix Jeschke and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-08-13 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the newly formed country of Czechoslovakia built an ambitious national rail network out of what remained of the obsolete Habsburg system. While conceived as a means of knitting together a young and ethnically diverse nation-state, these railways were by their very nature a transnational phenomenon, and as such they simultaneously articulated and embodied a distinctive Czechoslovak cosmopolitanism. Drawing on evidence ranging from government documents to newsreels to train timetables, Iron Landscapes gives a nuanced account of how planners and authorities balanced these two imperatives, bringing the cultural history of infrastructure into dialogue with the spatial history of Central Europe.
Book Synopsis The Routledge History Handbook of Central and Eastern Europe in the Twentieth Century by : Włodzimierz Borodziej
Download or read book The Routledge History Handbook of Central and Eastern Europe in the Twentieth Century written by Włodzimierz Borodziej and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenges of Modernity offers a broad account of the social and economic history of Central and Eastern Europe in the twentieth century and asks critical questions about the structure and experience of modernity in different contexts and periods. This volume focuses on central questions such as: How did the various aspects of modernity manifest themselves in the region, and what were their limits? How was the multifaceted transition from a mainly agrarian to an industrial and post-industrial society experienced and perceived by historical subjects? Did Central and Eastern Europe in fact approximate its dream of modernity in the twentieth century despite all the reversals, detours and third-way visions? Structured chronologically and taking a comparative approach, a range of international contributors combine a focus on the overarching problems of the region with a discussion of individual countries and societies, offering the reader a comprehensive, nuanced survey of the social and economic history of this complex region in the recent past. The first in a four-volume set on Central and Eastern Europe in the twentieth century, it is the go-to resource for those interested in the ‘challenges of modernity‘ faced by this dynamic region.
Book Synopsis Jüdische Kultur(en) im Neuen Europa by : Marina Dmitrieva
Download or read book Jüdische Kultur(en) im Neuen Europa written by Marina Dmitrieva and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2004 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der aus einer internationalen Tagung des Forschungsprojektes "Visuelle und historische Kulturen Ostmitteleuropas seit 1918" am Geisteswissenschaftlichen Zentrum Geschichte und Kultur Ostmitteleuropas (Leipzig) hervorgegangene Band widmet sich in einer interdisziplinarkulturwissenschaftlichen Perspektive den unterschiedlichen Facetten judischer Kultur(en) im ostlichen Europa der Zwischenkriegszeit. Am Beispiel Wilnas wird untersucht, welche Modelle des "Jude-Seins" im Spannungsfeld widerstreitender nationaler Identitatskonstruktionen der verschiedenen stadtischen Bevolkerungsgruppen entworfen und wie sie vermittelt wurden. Um einer ethnozentrischen Sichtweise zu entgehen und einen integrativen Zugang zum Thema zu ermoglichen, werden neben den judischen Entwurfen auch diejenigen von Litauern und Polen in den Blick genommen. Das Spektrum der untersuchten Bereiche erstreckt sich von der Fotografie und der bildenden Kunst uber die Literatur und Publizistik bis hin zu wissenschaftlichen Diskursen in Linguistik und Geschichtsschreibung.
Book Synopsis Die Familie im neuen Europa by : Gerhard Höver
Download or read book Die Familie im neuen Europa written by Gerhard Höver and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2008 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Familienpolitik im neuen Europa bedarf einer Leitidee, welche einerseits die vielfältigen kulturellen und sozialgeschichtlichen Traditionen achtet, andererseits aber auch eine qualifizierte Verständigung ermöglicht, die der grundlegenden Bedeutung der Familie als "primärer Schule der Humanität" gerecht wird. Eine solche Idee kann nicht extern entwickelt und vorgeschrieben werden, sondern indem man der Art und Weise, wie Familie lebt und ihr Beziehungsgeflecht entwickelt, Aufmerksamkeit schenkt. Das vorliegende Buch versucht diesen Weg unter ökumenischen und interdisziplinären Perspektiven zu beschreiten und die der Familie eigene Subjektivität als deren genuine Freiheit zu erfassen.

Book Synopsis From Rail to Road and Back Again? by : Colin Divall
Download or read book From Rail to Road and Back Again? written by Colin Divall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coming of the railways signalled the transformation of European society, allowing the quick and cheap mass transportation of people and goods on a previously unimaginable scale. By the early decades of the twentieth century, however, the domination of rail transport was threatened by increased motorised road transport which would quickly surpass and eclipse the trains, only itself to be challenged in the twenty-first century by a renewal of interest in railways. Yet, as the studies in this volume make clear, to view the relationship between road and rail as a simple competition between two rival forms of transportation, is a mistake. Rail transport did not vanish in the twentieth century any more than road transport vanished in the nineteenth with the appearance of the railways. Instead a mutual interdependence has always existed, balancing the strengths and weaknesses of each system. It is that interdependence that forms the major theme of this collection. Divided into two main sections, the first part of the book offers a series of chapters examining how railway companies reacted to increasing competition from road transport, and exploring the degree to which railways depended on road transportation at different times and places. Part two focuses on road mobility, interpreting it as the innovative success story of the twentieth century. Taken together, these essays provide a fascinating reappraisal of the complex and shifting nature of European transportation over the last one hundred years.
Book Synopsis Integration of Infrastructures in Europe in Historical Comparison by : Gerold Ambrosius
Download or read book Integration of Infrastructures in Europe in Historical Comparison written by Gerold Ambrosius and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compares the cross-border integration of infrastructures in Europe such as post, telecommunication and transportation in the 19th century and the period following the Second World War. In addition to providing a unique perspective on the development of cross-border infrastructures and the international regimes regulating them, it offers the first systematic comparison of a variety of infrastructure sectors, identifies general developmental trends and supplies theoretical explanations. In this regard, integration is defined as international standardization, network building and the establishment of international organizations to regulate cross-border infrastructures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume highlights the specific experiences and challenges of modernity in twentieth-century Eastern and Central Europe. Contributors ask how spatial and temporal conditions shaped the region’s transformation from a rural to an urban, industrialized society in this period and investigate the state’s role in the mastery of space, particularly in the context of state socialism. The volume also sheds light on the ruralization of cities and mutual perceptions of the rural and urban populations in this region.
Book Synopsis Mobilities: New Perspectives on Transport and Society by : John Urry
Download or read book Mobilities: New Perspectives on Transport and Society written by John Urry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together the leading authors currently working at the intersection of social science and transport science, this volume provides a companion to the well-established and extensive international Transport and Society series. Each chapter, and the volume as a whole, offers closer and richer consideration of the issues, practices and structures of multiple mobilities which shape the current world but which have typically been overlooked or minimised. What this approach seeks to do is not only draw attention to many new areas of research and investigation relating to mobile lives, but also to point to new theories and methods by which such lives have to be researched and examined. Such new theories and methods are relevant both to rethinking 'transport' studies as such but are also recasting 'societal' studies as 'transport' so that it comes out of the ghetto and enters mainstream social science.
Book Synopsis The Logistic Revolution by : Richard Vahrenkamp
Download or read book The Logistic Revolution written by Richard Vahrenkamp and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Logistic Revolution, Richard Vahrenkamp discusses the political and economic factors which have led to the rise of logistics in Europe in the context of the mass consumption society. Not only does he show the ascent of truck transport in the 1920s to satisfy consumer needs and the importance of the European motorway infrastructure for the development of modern logistics, he also sheds light on the dimension that freight transport has acquired in Europe and on the organizations that have been created in Europe to enable and facilitate cross border goods transports. Other than in the US, the national transport markets in Europe were initially uncoordinated. It was only in the process of European unification that transport markets for truck freight and associated logistics systems became Europe wide. This change was accompanied by the struggle between rail and truck.
Book Synopsis Making Spaces through Infrastructure by : Marian Burchardt
Download or read book Making Spaces through Infrastructure written by Marian Burchardt and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrastructures are fundamental means through which societies create spaces, but little is known about the precise ways in which this occurs. How have infrastructures animated certain understandings of space? How do infrastructures stabilize, or undermine, the spatial formats in which we live, which shape our everyday practices and which regulate access to services and resources? And, conversely, how do spaces frame the ways infrastructural provision is organized? How do existing spaces shape infrastructural development and the scope and forms of access to vital services such as transport and water? In this volume, historians and sociologists draw on a range of fascinating case studies and provide compelling answers to these questions. Exploring, among others, the provision of irrigation water in nineteenth-century Los Angeles, the invention of airport transit zones, and the infrastructural practices of homeless people in Berlin, the book demonstrates how the making of spaces through infrastructure is deeply political. Intent on revealing uneven geographies of provision and hierarchies of access, the contributors highlight how infrastructures are products of global entanglements.
