Ramìrez Manuel MurielThe Reshaping of British railways in 1963 was a process of an extraordinary extent in a concern that back then had half a million employees. The closures of branch lines amounted to a mileage equivalent to the Spanish railways main network at that time. The Beeching Report, a white paper little known outside the UK, shows sixty years later its exceptional value - from the point of view of both economic history and business studies. This paper aims to shed light on the document and the context in which its recommendations were carried out. Also, we make an ex post assessment with the help of the academic literature that followed and the evolution of railway transport since then.One particular feature of British railways is its high capacity (double or multiple track). Our research shows that the reshaping was extensive rather than intensive: the British Railways Board (BRB) was unable to reduce its plant (the excess of capacity) while keeping the lines. This was probably a result of having come first and invested too much in infra-structure.

Mario CoglitoreStarting from the Enlightenment a new idea and practice of territory were developed. In particular the role of mobility - roads and travelling - grew massively, making available an innovative concept of distance and measure of the wold. It was a technical and philosophical revolution, based upon networks, promoted mostly in the field of transport and communication, which largely took place in Europe, contributing to the modernization of the developed world. The industrial revolution boosted some great achievements in this sector also at the urban scale: railways, telegraph, electricity, putting infrastructure in the middle of the astonishing changes in the process of reshaping time and space.

Elena dell'AgneseAt the beginning of the Twentieth century, geography used to be described as «the science of landscape». Now, such a definition seems to be out of fashion. All the same, the two words, «geography» and «landscape» still share a close connection, since they both may refer to «the thing» (to the geo-structure), and also to the «representation of the thing» (to the meta-geography). And representation is a form of power. So, while the popularity of landscape as an objective analytical tool has been fading away, the significance of landscape as a way of representing things is proving to be more and more relevant. Not only landscape is no more supposed to be «objective» reality, it does not even have to be an objective representation or to have an indisputable aesthetic quality. All the same, it is a way of seeing, and of retelling, regional, and geopolitical, stories. Thirty years after the Rumley and Minghi’s seminal book on «the geography of border landscape» (1991), the new geo-graphies of border landscapes are aimed at analysing different ways of «speaking about» and of «visualizing» border relations, from cinema to art, to literature and photography, music, cartoons.

Laura GraziEEC Regional Studies in the Sixties This essay, which belongs to the field of research on the history of European regional policy, focuses on the regional studies launched by the EEC and the ECSC in the Sixties, with specific reference to certain Italian cases: the region of Umbria and its steel industry, the Piombino area, the touristic destination of Calabria and the Bari-Taranto-Brindisi development hub. In particular, it highlights Italy’s position, characterized by its «Southern question» and by its commitment to bringing this topic to the attention of the Community, in order to obtain additional support for its policy of extraordinary intervention, which was mainly implemented through the «Cassa per il Mezzogiorno». The participation of Italian experts and officials in Community studies was closely related to the debate on planning that began with the preparation of the Vanoni Plan and continued with the economic programs of the center-left governments. Issues and new development strategies, with particular reference to the theories of development hubs (growth poles) and integrated development, passed from the national to the European level, paving the way towards the drafting of an EU cohesion policy for the future.

Enrico ChapelAt the time of more and more perfect measure and representation of the territory follows trivialization and proliferation of plans. In Nineteenth century appear Atlases that dissect the image of the city, and statistical mapping that allows to represent structural dimensions of the urban phenomenon: population density, hygiene and functionality of spaces, services allocation, traffic flows, etc. The paper aims to show that urban planning was born during this process of cartographic production and statistical measurement of urban context. This course introduce a new form of urban design which records concepts such «standard» and «prediction» in the iconic order of planning. To what extent accumulation of maps and numbers in the Nineteenth and Twentieth century gave rise to modern urban project?

Franco FarinelliGlobalization means the end of modern perspective, i.e. of the Euclidean space as it was perceived, represented and produced in the modernity. The attempt to work out new occurring reality requires the genealogical reconstruction of this course. This tool is rather urgent and problematic because involves two crucial analytical levels: distinction between subject and object and nature of causal explanation, a sign of the recursivity of the problem. Prescribing instructions to measure the earth - by deducting one dimension of the sphere in order to reduce it to a table - in the second century A.D. Ptolemy determines all modern epistemological values. Principles shattered today by globalization, because measuring place (the linear distance between the objects disposed on the earth conceived as a plane) is proved to be less and less significant to understand the world mechanism. Is it a matter to change the model of measurement or to give up the idea of measurement itself?

Eveline G. BouwersWell before the Risorgimento’s cult of heroes took a flight, sculptor Antonio Canova commissioned a series of busts of ‘illustrious Italians’ for the ancient Pantheon in Rome. Started in 1809, when Rome was under French control, the project was developed in agreement with the Roman Curia until, in 1820, Pope Pius VII ordered its removal to the Capitoline Museums. This article probes the origins, form and function of the Canovian pantheon. It analyses the sculptor’s incentives in commemorating artists, scientists and men of letters of Italy’s past, and queries the project’s public reception. Moreover, it evaluates the selection of men and contrasts these to Canova’s predilections, both artistic and personal. Finally, it assesses the pantheon’s impact on the commemoration of illustrious men in post-1848 Rome, specifically in relation to the pantheons on the Pincian and Janiculum hills.
