Vapore ed elettricità sono stati i propellenti del motore dei cambiamenti sociali durante tutta la modernità. La comprensione sociologica di questa fase storica non può prescindere da un’accurata analisi di ciò che l’accelerazione dei trasporti tra Ottocento e Novecento ha costituito per l’esperienza umana. L’estensione delle reti ferroviarie, in particolare, è stata un imprescindibile elemento di diffusione della rivoluzione industriale: l’accresciuta possibilità di intrattenere e velocizzare gli scambi commerciali ha costituito uno straordinario volano di sviluppo per il mondo occidentale, contribuendo a modificare la nostra percezione del tempo e dello spazio fino a innescare giganteschi mutamenti nelle configurazioni urbane e negli orizzonti dell’immaginario umano. Questo studio prova a esplorare connessioni che la sociologia sembra aver sorprendentemente trascurato. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… Steam and electricity have been the propellants of the engine of social change throughout modernity. The sociological understanding of this historical phase cannot be separated from an accurate analysis of what the acceleration of transport between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries constituted for human experience. The extension of the railway networks, in particular, was an essential element in the diffusion of the industrial revolution: the increased possibility of entertaining and speeding up commercial exchanges constituted an extraordinary driving force for development for the Western world, helping to change our perception. of time and space to the point of triggering gigantic changes in urban configurations and in the horizons of the human imagination. This study tries to explore connections that sociology seems to have surprisingly overlooked.]
