  • Meeting Madrid
    2017: A Year of Round Numbers If we could travel to the future, we’d probably say that 2017 was the year of WorldPride, a celebration of equal rights which three million people are expected to attend. Because whoever you love, Madrid loves you. Just a mention of this year would be enough to relive the music festivals that await us: Mad Cool, Dcode and the Veranos de la Villa Festival which has already become a classic. Like a beautiful mirage, several of the season’s exhibitions would also appear: the Escher retrospective, which has marked the grand opening of Gaviria Palace as a cultural centre, and the show devoted to the Hispanic Society opening in early April at the Prado Museum. And it’s very likely that some of the theatre productions being performed for the first time will be consigned to posterity: Ushuaia by Alberto Conejero at Teatro Español and the adaptation of En la orilla by Rafael Chirbes at Centro Dramático Nacional. If we’ve chosen to use the term ‘probably’ rather than ‘definitely’ it’s because we don’t want to blow our own trumpet, but no one can deny that 2017 will be remembered in Madrid for its round numbers: the 10-year anniversary of Matadero Madrid; 15 for La Casa Encendida; 20 for PHotoEspaña and for the reopening of Teatro Real; 25 for the Reina Sofía and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums; 40 for Fernán Gómez Centro Cultural de la Villa and the Madrid Marathon; and the fourth centenary of Plaza Mayor, whose first stone was laid on 2 December 1617.

  • Spanish Railway Foundation the Institution [
    Spanish Railway Foundation The institution [www.ffe.es] The Spanish Railway Foundation is an institution belonging to the state public sector. It has three sites, two in Madrid (the Fernán Núñez Palace and the Madrid Railway Museum) and another one in Vilanova i la Geltrú (the Catalonia Railway Museum), and its Board of Trustees inclu- des the most important companies in the public railway sector. Its main objectives are: conservation of the historical and cultural railway heritage; promotion of the knowledge and use of the railway by the society; research and specialised training on the railway; and dissemination of the current issues and cultural aspects related to the railway through periodic publications and other means. To fulfil these objectives, the Foundation carries out a wide range of activities. The Foundation is in charge of the preservation and public exhibition of the railway museum collections through its two museums and preserves and enriches the funds of the Railway History Archive and its Railway Library and Newspaper Library, making them accessible to the general public through its Researchers Room located in the Madrid museum. Dancing Hall* of Fernán Núñez Palace, Prestige passenger coach (Madrid Railway Museum), Engine Shed (Catalonia Railway Museum) and Elizabethan Hall* of Fernán Núñez Palace Madrid Railway Museum [www.museodelferrocarril.org] Located in the former station of Delicias, an archi- tectural gem from 1880, the Madrid Railway Museum exhibits a valuable collection of steam, electric and diesel locomotives as well as passenger coaches and dynamic scale models. The Museum organises historic-tourist trains like the Strawberry Train, which links Madrid with Aranjuez and has become a classic in Madrid tourism; the Christmas Train, where the children are the stars; or the Nobleman Train (Tren del Hidalgo), which travels to Alcázar de San Juan.

  • The Past and Historical Representation in the Spanish Railways
    MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY WORKING PAPERS WORKING PAPER NO. 184 NATALIA BUIER TIME WITHOUT LABOUR: THE PAST AND HISTORICAL REPRESENTATION IN THE SPANISH RAILWAYS Halle / Saale 2017 ISSN 1615-4568 Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, PO Box 110351, 06017 Halle / Saale, Phone: +49 (0)345 2927- 0, Fax: +49 (0)345 2927- 402, http://www.eth.mpg.de, e-mail: [email protected] Time without Labour: the past and historical representation in the Spanish railways1 Natalia Buier2 Abstract This article presents an ethnographic analysis of representations of the past in a key public sector – the Spanish railways. This sector has undergone a series of fundamental transformations in the recent past, primary among which has been opening the previously state-controlled monopoly up to competition. As part of a broader investigation of historical memory and its constitutive effects, I analyse railway historiography and museum displays as ethnographic objects. This analysis reveals the inner workings of forms of historical representation that, I argue, marginalize labour as a social and political actor. These forms of representation have been instrumental for pushing through a set of transformations that take the appearance of an inevitable process of modernization. 1 I would like to thank reviewers Mateusz Laszczkowski and Don Kalb for their close reading of the text and their excellent suggestions, many of which are helpful beyond this version of the article. This paper is part of my work for my doctoral dissertation: “Time is not a military rank” (2016), carried out at the department of Sociology and Social Anthropology at Central European University which makes individual acknowledgments almost impossible in the space of this article, but my collective thanks go to all those who generously shared their time and knowledge with me during the fieldwork I completed in Spain between 2012 and 2014.
