SUMMARY:CfP Special Issue Transfers Journal (CONTESTED) MOTORWAYS
DESCRIPTION:CALL FOR PAPERS \nFor a SPECIAL ISSUE to be published in Transfers Journal – Interdisciplinary Journal of Mobility Studies \n(CONTESTED) MOTORWAYS \nMotorways are neither inherently popular nor a “natural” outcome of motorization (Avila 2014; Kunze 2022; Magalhães 2024). Instead\, road building projects have always faced criticism\, even if much of the contestation remains marginalized (North 1998\, McNeish 1999). The construction of motorways worldwide is the result of sharp transnational political wills and the work of strong lobbies promoting motorization. Motorways shape collective and individual imaginaries of both landscapes and mobilities\, while functioning as political and economic instruments of power (Anand\, Gupta & Appel 2018; Coutard 2024). They lie at the center of socioecological controversies\, reflecting divergent visions of society (Seiler 2009) – some defending progress embodied by the infrastructure\, others highlighting its negative externalities. Many scholars depict motorways as scars on urban and rural landscapes\, emblematic of disruption and inequality (Avila 2014; Lewis 1997)\, and even as “an everyday form of devastation” (Williams 2025\, ix). Recent scholarly work further challenges their status as inevitable infrastructures of modernity and progress\, framing them instead as terrains of political struggle and contestation – criticized for their high financial and socioecological costs\, their reinforcement of motorization\, and their incompatibility with sustainability and climate goals (Magalhães 2024; Williams 2025). \nThe first motorway projects are almost as old as the automobile itself. However\, the idea of a road network exclusively for motorized traffic struggled to gain acceptance before World War II\, when only a very small minority of people owned cars. The 1950’s marked a key moment in the development of motorways and the global spread of motorization (Lewis 1997; Merriman 2007). While a common drive to construct motorways spanned Europe\, America\, and Oceania\, the rationales and methods varied significantly across contexts. Some countries prioritized extensive intercity networks\, others focused on ring roads to divert traffic from urban cores. These projects were shaped by diverse forces—ranging from lobbying by tourism\, automotive\, and oil industries to militarized agendas intertwined with economic arguments—revealing that the grounds for motorway building were far from uniform. The motorway embodies the social and economic aim of unimpeded circulation\, speed and connectivity\, openness\, political liberalism and economic prosperity (Harvey & Knox\, 2016; Kuligowsky 2019). Nowadays\, motorway networks remain considered as material and symbolic markers of development\, including in the Global South. Therefore\, motorway projects endure\, whether new constructions\, expansions\, or widenings. States continue to build and complete networks revealing socio-technical barriers that seem impossible to overcome (Mattioli et al.\, 2020; Jones and McCreary 2022). Despite the 2015 Paris Agreement and the urgent need to reduce worldwide CO2 emissions\, large road infrastructures emerge as sites of complex struggles involving competing visions between political authorities\, engineers\, developers\, commuters\, tourists\, local residents and ecologists. Motorway development has occurred at the cost of dispossession\, an aggravation of car dependency and environmental disasters. Debates on motorway projects expose tensions between planning objectives and residents lived realities (Seiler 2009; Kuligowsky 2019; Senior et al. 2024). Criticism of the motorway concept emerged as early as the first experiments in the interwar period and the 1950’s (Merriman 2017; Kunze 2022). Contestations of urban motorways in Western countries\, spurred by the rise of political ecology in the 1960’s and 1970’s\, drove sociotechnical changes that introduced pollution-mitigation technologies such as noise barriers\, tunnels\, and trenches. Yet\, while these measures encouraged more participatory policies and planning\, they largely served to increase public acceptability and deflect criticism rather than to limit further motorway expansion. Nowadays\, the contestation of large road infrastructure remains important\, at least in contexts where the voices of the opponents can be heard. Contestation over motorways reflects broader debates about modernity\, progress\, mobility\, sustainability\, and urbanity. Recent examples include the A69 motorway in Southwestern France\, which sparked strong environmental\, political\, and legal disputes\, and Switzerland’s 2024 referendum that unexpectedly resulted in the rejection of six motorway expansion projects after intense national discussions on the future of mobility. These cases illustrate how opposition extends beyond halting new construction to include initiatives for motorway removal or repurposing\, aligning with wider goals of sustainable urban development and liveable cities. \nThe special issue will gather empirical articles broadly engaging with the promotion\, support and refusal of motorway projects either in the past and in the present days. Contributions may also thematize the motorway as a physical place of contestation or activism. Conceptually\, the articles can engage with different disciplinary and theoretical backgrounds including work on the system of automobility\, mobility justice and social movement theory. \nResearch perspectives could include (but are not limited to): \n\nPROMOTING AND DEFENDING MOTORWAYS: Advocates of motorways have advanced\n\na powerful\, optimistic narrative emphasizing their promises—framed around the ideas of safety\, reduced congestion\, socioeconomic progress\, speed\, efficiency and enhanced regional accessibility—while simultaneously deploying diverse strategies to deflect and manage criticism. How can we explain the emergence of the concept of motorways as exclusive spaces for motorized transport\, sidelining other modes? How is this idea promoted\, and through which arguments and political strategies? \n\nOPPOSING MOTORWAY PROJECTS: In what contexts are motorways contested\, and through which arguments? Resistance emerges across civil society and politics—from left-wing groups to the far right\, from public transport advocates to intellectual circles. These movements are highly diverse\, encompassing property owners\, municipalities\, neighborhood associations\, environmental organizations\, and mobility or planning experts. Their motivations range from environmental and health concerns (soil degradation\, pollution\, biodiversity\, climate change) to socioeconomic issues (territorial fragmentation\, economic impacts on alternative routes) and heritage preservation (loss of landscapes\, homes\, and cultural sites).\n\nPotential topics may include the following: \n\nThe expansion of national and international road networks and their contestation\nDiscourses on capacity\, induced traffic\, safety\, and efficiency\nTransnational knowledge circuits in motorway development\nAssumptions behind transportation governance and urban planning\nMotorways as space of escape and the ways markers of social difference (race\, ethnicity\,\n\ngender…) affects motorway users. \n\nRoad ecology or more specifically motorway ecology\nAlternative projects to motorways or removal and transformations\nSociospatial inequalities and silences in motorway refusal histories\n\nThis special issue will be edited by Suzy Blondin\, Manon Espinasse\, Andrea Pimentel Rivera and Tiphaine Robert. The editors (with Transfers editorship) will select the contributions based on originality\, relevance and scientific quality. \nAbstract deadline: 15 April 2026 \nPlease send your abstract to tiphaine.robert@unibe.ch \nThe abstract should include: \n\nName\, affiliation and e-mail address\nShort biography (100 words)\nExtended abstract of 1000 words including the title of the article\, a mention of the relevant\n\ntopic/research questions addressed. \nFor more information\, please do not hesitate to contact us. \nMore information on the Journal website: \nhttps://www.berghahnjournals.com/view/journals/transfers/transfers-overview.xml

SUMMARY:Call for  Special Issue: “Infrastructuring Mobilities: Backbones and Entanglements of Leisure\, Tourism and Migration”
DESCRIPTION:Mobility Humanities Special Issue (for publication July 2027) \nCALL FOR PAPERS \n“INFRASTRUCTURING MOBILITIES:\nBACKBONES AND ENTANGLEMENTS OF LEISURE\, TOURISM AND MIGRATION” \nGuest Editors:\nThiago Allis\, University of São Paulo\, Brazil\nFranz Buhr\, University of Lisbon\, Portugal\nJessica Frazão\, University of São Paulo\, Brazil \nIn the broad context of contemporary mobilities\, recent developments in mobility infrastructures are reshaping how people travel and experience tourism-oriented routines. From face recognition at passport control to AI-assisted holiday planning\, these infrastructures—whether material or digital—underpin diverse forms of (im)mobility. Thinking through infrastructures allows us to understand not only how people\, information\, waste\, drugs\, suitcases\, and images circulate\, but also how they ‘land’ in specific destinations\, transforming spaces and local social dynamics. Not only airports or coffee shops\, but entire urban neighbourhoods and ‘neo-rural’ attractions have emerged or changed in order to accommodate\, facilitate\, or restrict different kinds of mobility (for instance\, digital nomads and asylum seekers\, or the so-called ‘mass’ tourists and visitors seeking “off-the-beaten-track” experiences). To the familiar repertoire of mobility infrastructures—hotels\, airports\, tourist information centres\, and souvenir shops—one can now add new amenities such as coliving spaces\, coworking hubs\, and app-generated personalised tours. \nIn this special issue\, we approach infrastructures as “systematically interlinked technologies\, institutions and actors that facilitate and condition mobility” (Xiang & Lindquist 2014\, 122). This definition expands the notion of infrastructure to include both human and non-human agents implicated in shaping mobility. At the same time\, we \nrecognise that infrastructures can themselves be mobile\, ephemeral\, and bottom-up (Meeus\, Arnaut & van Heur 2019)\, as well as enduring and capable of sustaining mobility not only as dislocation but also as a defining feature of contemporary lifestyles (Jung & Buhr 2023). \nMobility has always depended on apparatuses that channel flows\, set directions\, and regulate their pace—accelerating some movements while slowing down or blocking others. Kevin Hannam\, Mimi Sheller and John Urry (Urry\, 2003; Hannam et al.\, 2006) originally conceptualised – followed by others (Freire-Medeiros & Vianna Pinho\, 2024) – the discussion of the mobility–moorings dialectic\, shedding light on the relatively stable systems that enable\, shape\, or constrain movement. The strength of analytically examining infrastructures\, rather than simply assuming phenomena as ‘more’ or ‘less’ mobile\, enables a contextualised analysis of mobility and its embeddedness in multi-scalar regimes of power (Glick Schiller & Salazar 2012)\, generating uneven and often deeply unequal patterns of movement—such as migration policies’ implicit distinction between ‘wanted’ and ‘unwanted’ tourists or migrants. \nInfrastructures are the architecture for circulation (Larkin 2013) and\, as such\, they may be more or less visible\, mundane\, taken for granted\, as well as spectacular\, highly politicised\, and in constant dispute. Like other forms of architecture\, mobility infrastructures are built or composed by people\, requiring little or huge amounts of money\, aiming to tackle perceived issues\, and targeting specific social groups and their needs. They may be lucrative\, public\, (un)official\, answer to the demands of social civil movements\, as well as mirror existing forms of racism\, misogyny\, xenophobia\, homophobia\, classism\, etc. Think of walls and barbed wire splitting countries and fast-track corridors for VIP passengers at airports; or of refugee camps and luxury hotels; of soup kitchens for homeless migrants and coworking cafés for digital nomads; women-only tourism packages and sex tourism\, for example. Think also about the bodies that are allowed to move freely across the globe and those who are constantly stopped and checked\, if not denied transit. \nExploring the infrastructuring role of these emerging materialities in popular leisure destinations helps to unpack how ‘hip’ places transform themselves\, adapt to new consumption habits\, and tourists’ aesthetic preferences – often to the detriment of longer-term residents’ claims. Or\, on the contrary\, how certain infrastructures shut down (think of street-level travel agencies)\, go bankrupt\, or move somewhere else. The physicality of infrastructures adds new matter to neighbourhoods (e.g.\, boutique hotels\, amusement parks\, gourmet markets\, surf schools\, minimalist coworking cafés\, Instagrammable brunch eateries\, etc.). These leisure amenities facilitate short-term travel\, networking\, group excursions\, physical exercise\, etc. They accommodate the needs of various kinds of mobile lifestyles\, whose movements “resonate with and cut across people and things\, spaces and subjects” (Merriman 2016\, 85). Infrastructures\, nevertheless\, are integral to the reproduction of certain kinds of mobility privilege and mobility precarity. Aerial life (Adey\, 2010)\, for instance\, is not free of relations of power: it produces and reproduces social differentiation\, unevenness\, and inequalities (Murray\, \nSawchuk\, Jirón\, 2016)\, constituting regimes of mobility that affect and shape individual movement across the globe (Glick Shiller\, Salazar\, 2012). \nThe way cities increasingly cater to leisure-seeking global middle classes may be more or less exclusive and accentuate existing local fractures. Similarly\, examining virtual mobility infrastructures prompts critical questions about the influence of algorithmic knowledge—shaping everything from the very destination choice to the tailor-made visit itineraries proposed by smartphone apps\, also including the emergence of fully virtual tourism experiences. Not to mention the paraphernalia that shape work-on-the-move routines of the corporate travel\, increasingly mingled with leisure activities\, fostering the so-called “bleisure” programs (Lichy & McLeay\, 2018). \nWith this call for papers\, we aim to bring together research that places the infrastructural production of leisure mobilities at its centre. We define leisure mobilities broadly\, including tourism\, leisure-led migration\, lifestyle migration\, digital nomadism\, and other related forms of movement\, especially those located closer to the voluntary side of the voluntary-involuntary spectrum driving migration. Anchored in the ‘new mobilities paradigm’ (Sheller & Urry 2006)\, this special issue will shed light on the practices\, actors\, policies and technologies that enable or deter multiple and not always obvious tourism-like experiences of mobility. \nWith this background in mind\, this call for papers aims to foster creative interdisciplinary debates on mobility and infrastructures. In doing so\, it echoes the efforts of Mobility Humanities to “pluralise” (Adey et al.\, 2024) infrastructures in the domain of mobility studies\, with special attention to auspicious theoretical developments and the dissemination of methodological practices on leisure\, tourism\, and migration research agendas. \nTopics and Themes \nWe welcome contributions critically addressing\, but not limited to\, the following themes:\n● Making visible the often-invisibilised infrastructures and the affordances of mobility\, travel\, tourism\, and migration;\n● New tourism experiences enabled by emerging mobility infrastructures (AI\, travel apps\, thematic apps guiding visitors to niche markets\, etc.);\n● Social dynamics and experiences produced through new mobility infrastructures (e.g.\, the use of dating apps\, technologies designed to meet other tourists sharing similar interests\, or connecting ‘like-minded’ people staying temporarily at a given place\, etc.);\n● Urban change (such as touristification\, gentrification\, foodification\, gaytrification) as a process of infrastructuring and its impact on local livelihoods and destinations’ ‘vibes’;\n● Mobility infrastructures as potential mediation tools between visitors and residents;\n● Mobility infrastructures as technologies of control/othering/bordering\, possibly reinforcing structural inequalities in travel\, access to leisure\, and the right to the city;\n● Uses of infrastructure as a lens to analyse contemporary cultural products (films\, novels\, series\, etc.) discussing leisure-led mobilities in various contexts;\n● Gendered\, racialised and/or intersectional (im)mobilities in postcolonial contexts and its entanglements with leisure\, tourism and migration;\n● Frictions of leisure\, diversity and mobile justice and its dependence on infrastructures;\n● Agency of things\, more-than-human mobilities\, and material culture as a reference for the study of leisure-oriented mobilities. \nWe also encourage submissions that explore other related topics from critical\, comparative\, or interdisciplinary perspectives. \nSubmission of Abstracts and Manuscripts \n– Deadline for abstract submission (300 words) – January 31st 2026 (email to the guest editors)\n– Response to the authors (abstracts) – up to March 1st 2026\n– Deadline for full paper submission (7000-8000 words) – July 31th 2026\n– Response to authors (paper review period) – up to December 20th 2026\n– Publication – July 2027 \nAuthor Guidelines \n1.

SUMMARY:Imagining the Railway\, 1900 to the Present
DESCRIPTION:Mobility Humanities Special Issue (for publication January 2028)\nCALL FOR PAPERS\n“Imagining the Railway\, 1900 to the Present”\nGuest Editors:\nAdam Borch\, Åbo Akademi University\, Finland\nJason Finch\, Åbo Akademi University\, Finland\nFrederik Van Dam\, Radboud University\, Netherlands\nWe invite scholars to submit article proposals for a special issue in the open-access journal Mobility Humanities on the cultural impact of the railway since 1900. Scholars from any disciplinary background are welcome\, although the special issue is likely to be of particular interest to those working in areas like mobility humanities\, literary\, film or visual studies\, cultural geography and transport history.\nIn the nineteenth century\, the expansion and use of trains changed people’s perception of the world. Following Wolfgang Schivelbusch’s pioneering work\, scholars have documented the myriad ways in which the nineteenth-century railway changed the experience of travelling and influenced the form and creation of different cultural media. The history of the railway in the more recent past\, in which the train’s dominance as a form of transport was challenged by the automobile and the aeroplane\, has received comparatively little attention. This special issue aims to highlight the fact that the railway remained a significant influence on artistic development and cultural practices: as novels by Graham Greene and Toni Morrison attest\, for instance\, trains have been invested with new imaginative possibilities during the twentieth century and since\, and these are deserving of sustained critical attention.\nThis special issue will therefore explore the literary and cultural significance of the railway from 1900 to the present. In doing so\, it seeks to take stock of new insights from the fields of mobility studies and infrastructure studies. We welcome proposals that focus on the relationship between the railway and literature\, cinema\, the visual arts\, music\, games\, and/or other cultural modes.\nThemes to be explored include\, but are not limited to\, the following:\n• the railway and (literary and/or artistic) form\n• gender and sexual identity\n• (post)colonial perspectives\n• railway and war\n• experiences of long-distance travel\n• experiences of commuting\n• spaces of the railway\n• the railway’s impact on landscape and environment\n• comparisons between literary and visual depictions of the railway\nIf you are interested\, please send a proposal of max. 500 words to the editors no later than 30 September 2025. All abstracts should include a title as well as the names\, affiliations and email addresses of all authors. Please also provide a short bio (max. 100 words) for each author.\nImportant Dates\n• 30 September 2025: deadline for submission of article proposals.\n• 31 October 2025: authors notified about acceptance/rejection of their proposal\n• 30 June 2026: deadline for submission of full articles (c.8\,000 words) for peer review\n• 1 January 2028: publication of Special Issue in Mobility Humanities\nNB. Mobility Humanities offers the possibility of publishing articles online-first during 2027.\nSubmission Guidelines: https://journal-mobilityhumanities.com/guidelines/manuscript-submission\nSubmission Portal: Abstract and final paper must be emailed to Adam Borch\, Jason Finch\, and Frederik Van Dam prior to the submission at the Mobility Humanities portal (https://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/mobilityhumanities)

DESCRIPTION:1\nCALL FOR PAPERS\nSPECIAL ISSUE: “MOBILE CULTURES AND THE ANTHROPOCENE: TERRITORIES\, SOCIETIES\, TEMPORALITIES”\nGuest editors: Dr Nathalie Roseau (nathalie.roseau@enpc.fr)\, École nationale des ponts et chaussées\nAbstract deadline: 15 July 2025\nResearch on mobility has shown considerable interest in promoting an interdisciplinary approach to history in order to renew knowledge of transport. Among the issues brought to light by these perspectives\, the question of the environment is central. Because transport affects the territories we inhabit\, because it reflects the way societies are nurtured by technology\, the mobilisation of history and its long-term perspectives shed light on the footprints our mobility patterns have left on the Earth. Their material impact\, which is reflected in the interweaving of the technical\, social and entrepreneurial infrastructures they have constituted over the long term; the change in representations – of movement\, space and ways of life – that they have initiated.\nThis special issue of The Journal of Transport History examines the relationship between mobile cultures and the Anthropocene from an interdisciplinary perspective. Describing the impact of humans on the Earth and the alteration of the biosphere by their actions\, the term Anthropocene was reintroduced in 2002 by Paul Crutzen\, Nobel Prize winner in chemistry and specialist in Earth system sciences\, when he published a highly influential article “Geology of Mankind: the Anthropocene” in the journal Nature. While the Anthropocene refers to a new geological epoch or event resulting from human activities with dramatic consequences for the climate and the atmosphere\, the term and its meanings remain debated and contested\, in the chronostratigraphic community\n2\n(International Union of Geological Sciences\, 2024)\, but also in the earth-system science and the social sciences\, whether in terms of its temporalities or its anthropocentric perspective (Steffen et al.\, 2011; Steffen et al.\, 2015; Bonneuil and Fressoz\, 2016; Chakrabarty\, 2021). Similarly\, proposals for a change of ecological course are contrasting and hotly debated\, ranging from energy de-growth to frugal sobriety or confidence in technological renewal\, the responses to which sometimes consist of solutions similar to those that created the problems in the first place.\nWe could add a new term to this spectrum: kinecene (Roseau\, 2024) in order to understand the way mobile cultures became anchored in our societies and the imprints they left on the Earth. Mobile cultures encompass the social meanings generated through a diversity of mediations and powers\, that set of uses and representations that gradually shaped the relationship between travel techniques and environments. From prototype to industry\, from elite practice to mass transportation\, from infrastructure to superstructure\, inventions related to the transportation of people\, materials and information have emerged as essential technological systems\, with considerable global economic heft and an equally considerable environmental impact.\nHistory is considered here as “problematic” to use the words of Lucien Febvre\, that is to say that it “poses problems to the past according to the present needs of humanity”\, and thus allows us to better understand current events in which we are both actors and spectators (Febvre\, 1946). By focusing on a dialogue between the objects and questions raised by mobile cultures and the panorama of issues related to the Anthropocene\, the retrospective perspective we propose aims to reopen historiography and reformulate research perspectives in order to understand the interdependencies of scales and boundaries that affect our environments over the long term. Conversely\, adopting a perspective that places mobile cultures in the Anthropocene time on which we are focusing commits us to renewing our understanding of the disciplinary and historiographical fields through which we analyse mobile cultures\, to exploring their margins\, to identifying their hidden faces and to reopening their potentialities. By showing what our pasts have accomplished\, it ultimately provides a reflection on our relationship to the future.\nThis special issue follows on from a panel1 held at the virtual T2M conference in 2021 (Lisbon) and the publication of Nathalie Roseau’s article in The Journal of Transport History entitled “Mobile cultures and the Anthropocene” (Roseau\, 2022)\, which explored these issues from the perspective of aerial culture. Following on from this exploratory discussion\, this call for papers therefore aims to open up an entangled approach to history by encouraging dialogue between different disciplinary fields and historiographical segments; by promoting situated research\, at the junction of theoretical discussion and empirical fieldworks; by encouraging a shift in attention to the margins and a repositioning of the centrality of key issues. As such\, the formulation of the subjects should make it possible to renew and enlarge the objects of inquiry in history: territories as palimpsests\, aerospace\, sea lands\, consumption and energy\, speed and acceleration\, etc. The approach could not only be permeable to other disciplines (anthropology\, geography\, political science\, science and technology studies\, sociology\, urbanism\, visual\n1 Including the papers of Carlos Lopez Galviz\, Arnaud Passalacqua\, Guillaume de Syon\, and Nathalie Roseau\n3\nculture\, etc.) and their contemporary concerns\, but also bring together approaches that are often fragmented but essential to the understanding of the history of transport.\nThis special issue will be guest edited by Dr. Nathalie Roseau (Nathalie.roseau@enpc.fr)\, professor of urbanism at the École nationale des ponts et chaussées\, and tenured researcher at the Laboratoire Techniques\, Territoires et Sociétés\, who will select (with The Journal of Transport History editorship) the papers according to their thematic relevance\, their originality and their scholarly rigor.\nAbstract deadline: 15 July 2025\nAbstract components: Your abstract should include the following elements:\n1.

SUMMARY:Imagining the future of ports in the long nineteenth century
DESCRIPTION:CALL FOR PAPERS\nSPECIAL ISSUE: “IMAGINING THE FUTURE OF PORTS IN THE LONG NINETEENTH CENTURY”\nGuest editors: Giovanni Cristina (giovanni.cristina@uniroma3.it)\, University of Roma Tre\, and Giovanni Favero (gfavero@unive.it)\, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice\nAbstract deadline: 31 May 2025\nThe nineteenth century\, as stated by the volumes that have now become classics of historiography by Christopher A. Bayly (2003) and Jürgen Osterhammel (2009)\, coincides with a «transformation of the world» in a global sense and «the birth of the modern world». That century\, considered here in a long chronology reaching up to World War I\, represents in fact a discontinuity in which the new technologies of the first and second industrial revolutions changed maritime exchanges (from cabotage to steam navigation)\, whilst new infrastructures – artificial ports\, railways\, canals\, etc. – offered many port cities around the world new opportunities to revive their position in the globalised circuit of exchanges\, redefining urban hierarchies and functions at various levels. The transition from the «age of natural ports» to that of «artificial ports» (Brògueira Dias and Fernandes Alves\, 2010) affects\, with varying degrees of intensity\, many urban contexts globally: from the most famous cases of Chicago\, Boston\, New York\, Philadelphia\, San Francisco\, Shanghai\, London\, Liverpool\, Marseille\, Trieste\, Barcelona\, Genoa\, Yokohama\, Hamburg\, Rotterdam\, etc.\, to the “minor” ones of Rijeka\, Valencia\, Catania\, Izmir\, Thessaloniki\, Mersin\, Beirut and many others (Özveren et al.\, 2023; Miller\, 2012; Hein\, 2016). Obviously\, the chronology and the characteristics of these transformations can be variable\, depending on the peculiarities of the local contexts and their relationships with the global evolution of maritime transportation. Sometimes new technologies applied to means of transportation and global market dynamics select ports to be included or excluded in maritime traffic circuits. Sometimes\, it is instead new urban hierarchies and new port geographies that redefine trade networks and forms of mobility of people and goods. In\nthis perspective\, the “permanent adjustment process” that ports underwent during the 19th century has been classified into four possible categories: disruptive innovation\, spatial adaptation\, selective adaptation and one-way adaptation (Marnot\, 2024). What historians are still missing is an understanding of the -strategic or emerging- decision-making process that determined one choice or the other\, as connected with the future perspectives envisaged by the different actors and communities (Tinning\, 2024) involved in port-city projects and planning. How did they imagine the future of the port\, of its city and of the related hinterland? And how did their choices impact\, expectedly and unexpectedly\, on their actual evolution?\nThe present proposal aims to collect articles that analyse the perception and response to changes in maritime transport at the harbour level\, with respect to port cities considered both as individual cases and as groups of cities belonging to a regional geographic area or connected in a network\, and finally as case studies in a comparative perspective.\nIn particular\, contributions should address the following issues:\n– The gap between development expectations and actual reality in various harbour contexts. Indeed\, on the one hand\, there are the rhetorics (economic\, geopolitical\, scientific\, literary\, iconographic\, etc.) through which port communities think of themselves\, represent themselves\, and perceive themselves in relation to technological advances and the potential development opportunities they offer (e.g.\, entry into new circuits of global trade\, expansion of trade\, revolutionising urban hierarchies and the division between centres and peripheries\, etc.). On the other\, the reality that then actually occurs\, when the saving effects of a specific technology or infrastructure vanish for various reasons (failure to build\, persistence of backward factors\, etc.).\n– The relationships between decision-making centres (political\, economic) and individual port cities. In a century in which new nation-states arise (think Italy or Germany)\, multinational Empires change\, and new colonial Empires emerge\, what is the degree of autonomy of port cities with respect to the political entities to which they belong? What kind of dialectics are created between the infrastructure and port policies of individual states and the aspirations of cities? Do government choices on infrastructure investment and location create expectations and illusions?\n– Rivalries among ports competing in the logic of global trade. If in the first half of the century technological development was conceived as a factor of universal progress\, capable of bringing benefits to all humanity\, and commercial spaces as “reticular” systems among equals (as in Michel Chevalier’s Système de la Méditerranée\, 1832)\, with the second half of the 19th century feelings of aggressive competition increased\, which would later result in Imperialism and the «Scramble for Africa». How was this transition between the different meanings of development offered by the new technologies (from universal progress to the will to power) represented and perceived by cities and the communities inhabiting them?\n– Port cities and their hinterland. Harbours are gateways connecting a hinterland to the world. In the context of changing technological and logistic conditions for maritime transport\, reimagining the future of port cities implies the mobilisation and redefinition of the internal area using the port as a hub for shopping and mobility. Such a redefinition affected both the geographical extension of the hinterland and its economic\, cultural and political identity\, as shown for Chicago and the Great West (Cronon\, 1991). How were changes in the port functions connected to the imagined and realised reconfiguration of the economic and political geography of the mainland?\n– Ports and infrastructures as factors of mobility. The intensification of maritime connections on a global scale\, favoured by steam navigation\, generated new forms of mobility for goods (see Fumian\, 2024\, on wheat)\, and transcontinental migratory flows. In these processes\, the infrastructures themselves are both a factor in attracting migratory flows towards the most successful port cities (Lawton-Lee\, 2002)\, and the vector of forms of mobility that would otherwise be impossible. The case of the Suez Canal is particularly significant both as a generator of new urban-port centres\, such as Port Said (Carminati\, 2023)\, and as a means for new transcontinental mobility (Huber\, 2013). Shipping companies also play a similar role\, “selecting” their itineraries through negotiations with the local ruling authorities of the ports they call at. How is the intrinsic nature of infrastructures as “vectors of mobility” perceived by the individual and collective actors that promote the construction of ports\, railways and canals? How are these new and more intense forms of mobility linked to migration and to tourism managed by urban authorities?\nThe Special Issue will be guest edited by Giovanni Cristina (giovanni.cristina@uniroma3.it)\, University of Roma Tre\, and Giovanni Favero (gfavero@unive.it)\, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice\, who will select (with JTH´s editorship) papers based on their thematic fit\, originality and scholarly rigor.\nAbstract deadline: 31 May 2025\nAbstract components: Your abstract should include the following items:\n1.\nName\, affiliation\, and email address\n2.\nShort biography (150 words)\n3.\nAbstract of 500 words including article title\, exposition of case study/research question/outline\, relevant theme addressed\, and article type\nPlease send the above components in ONE collated pdf document to Giovanni Cristina (giovanni.cristina@uniroma3.it)\, University of Roma Tre\, and Giovanni Favero (gfavero@unive.it)\, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice\nThe authors of selected papers will be notified approximately four weeks after the deadline.
