In contrast to many other railway lines, its symbolic meaning has never sunk into oblivion. In Swiss society today, references to the Gotthard myth are multifaceted and omnipresent. Not only do they evoke images of a technological railway project, they also allude to Swiss history, alpine nature and national identity. Reading this book assists in understanding the old and contemporary discussions about the future of the Gotthard Railway, the regions in which it lies and the Swiss national identity. Curiosity-driven, this research combines viewpoints from the history of technology, cultural studies and cultural geography to grasp the intensity of the Gotthard as a national Swiss image. Whereas the relationship between the Gotthard Mountains and the Swiss national identity has received ample scholarly attention, the role of the Gotthard Railway remains largely unexplored. To illustrate to what extent historical actors co-constructed the railway and Swiss identity, the empirical chapters start with an analysis of an engineering discussion about tunneling methods. Hereafter, the book examines the reactions in Switzerland to the inauguration of the railway line. Subsequently, it describes the appreciation of the railway line portrayed in travel guides of the belle poque. The last chapter captures the glory days of the Gotthard myth, before and during the Second World War, with a focus on the novels and plays, in which the Gotthard Tunnel construction occurs. This historical overview offers insight into the multiple roles that technology plays in the construction of a sense of national identity as well as illustrating how identity has an effect on the appropriation of a technological railway project. 410 0$aTechnology and European history series ;$v1. 606 $aNational characteristics, Swiss 607 $aGotthardtunnel (Airolo and Go?schenen, Switzerland : Railroad tunnel) 615 0$aNational characteristics, Swiss. 676 $a385.094945 700 $aSchueler$b Judith$01028748 712 02$aTechnische Universiteit Eindhoven. 712 02$aStichting Historie der Techniek. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461840303321 996 $aMaterialising identity$92444845 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01461oam 2200421 a 450 001 9910703024003321 005 20110120154447.0 035 $a(CKB)4330000001817759 035 $a(OCoLC)697650794 035 $a(EXLCZ)994330000001817759 100 $a20110120d1981 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aEconomic analysis of community solar heating systems that use annual cycle thermal energy storage$b[electronic resource] /$fF.
