Adaptations et résistances au mode d'éclairage public parisien: les traductions différenciées de Barcelone et Madrid [Adaptations and Resistances to the Paris System of Public Lighting: The Different Translations in Barcelona and Madrid] (2019)
Circulation of 18th century lighting technology between France and Spain is not a mere dissemination or a fluid flow of knowledge, materials, and practices, but a cross-cultural encounter, implying multi-layered processes of mediation and appropriation. The spaces of reconfiguration are indeed not passive: if Barcelona adapts the Parisian suspension mode of the lighting system, the city rejects the use of metallic reflectors and prefers the local oil combustible. Madrid does the opposite. This article will not deal with the voyages of technical enquiry nor with the go-betweens but focus on the transnational dynamics of adaptation, negotiation and integration or rejection of the lantern technology.
