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. In the Delicias station there are excellent venues to host events of different nature. The Central Hall and the several rooms (Arganzuela, Mansarda, Audio visual Hall) are the ideal setting for presentations, press conferences, work meetings, film locations, photographic sessions, conventions, conferences, concerts or exhibitions. In addition to this, Charter trains, made up of vintage vehicles, constitute an exclusive location for events and celebrations. Catalonia Railway Museum [www.museudelferrocarril.org] Located in the original facilities of Vilanova i la Geltrú steam locomotive depot (on the south coast of Barcelona), the Catalonia Railway Museum is a railway building halfway between the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century. More than fifty vehicles of all types are put on display, particularly a superb selection of steam locomotives and the first Talgo train that entered service in Spain. Added to the magnifi- cent railway collection is the appeal of the surroundings, which represent a unique and ideal setting in Europe to hold events: the steam locomotive Engine Shed, the Espacio Siglo XXI Hall, the Gantry-Crane Hall or the interior of its trains are all singular places to hold events as well as business, social and cultural meetings. Protection of Historical Railway Heritage In addition to the railway heritage conservation work, the Foundation performs the task of structuring and stimulating all the actions related to the enhancement of the historical railway heritage, especially those outsi- de the own museums. The Foundation provides L. M. Ruiz support to the rail social fabric in order to protect its assets, via the recovery of parts and rolling stock, the support for the creation of small local museums and the management of the Commission for the Enhancement of the Historical Railway Heritage. Historical Research [www.museodelferrocarril.org/investigacion] To fulfil its mission of promoting knowledge of railways, the Railway History Programme carries out specific projects, holds conferences and orga- COLECCIÓN de HISTORIA FERROVIARIA COLECCIÓN de HISTORIA FERROVIARIA 8 l a nises workshops and seminars in the field of n o Organizaciones obreras y represión en el ferrocarril: una perspectiva internacional recoge i c un conjunto de relevantes aportaciones al estudio de la historia del movimiento obrero en el a n mundo del ferrocarril, al análisis de conflictos laborales y políticos y de su repercusión en este r e sector de actividad, así como al papel desarrollado por sus principales actores: Estado, directivos, t n i empresas ferroviarias y sindicatos. a v Organizaciones obreras y represión en el i t railway history research.

Training [www.formacion-ffe.es] The Foundation contributes to the transmission of transport knowledge through the development of face-to-face, mixed and e-learning training activities, adapting the different methodologies to the needs of transport professionals. These activities are organised by the Curso General de Transportes Terrestres (Land Transport General Course), post-graduate studies of 30 ECTS to obtain the Experto Universitario en Transporte Terrestre (Land Transport University Expert) certificate, and managed by the Railway Training Area, which offers short face-to-face and online courses and has a wide range of courses available, with teachers who are experts in each of the subjects. The Campus Ferroviario ADIF-FFE also manages this type of activities. Culture [www.ffe.es/cultura] The Foundation is in charge of promoting cultural activities related to the railway. It carries out various initiatives, among which are the Caminos de Hierro photographic contest, a source of inspiration and creativity for all train and photography lovers, and the Premios del Tren Antonio Machado, a literature contest for poetry and short stories whose judges have been personalities as important as the Nobel prize-winner Camilo José Cela. The Foundation Choir, a world-class choir with an extensive repertoi- re, is an unrivalled final touch for any event or celebration. Vías Verdes (Greenways) [www.viasverdes.com] The institution coordinates and implements the Greenways Spanish programme since 1993, advising administrations and entities on the ecotourist reuse of disused railway lines. It disseminates and promotes the use of Greenways through its website, the Vive la Vía television series, guides, brochures and RRSS as well as organising citizen campaigns, technical work- shops and conferences, contests and awards. It also carries out projects, studies and plans and participates in European projects holding the position of General Secretary of the European Greenways Association. Vía Libre [www.vialibre-ffe.com] Released in printed and digital version, Vía Libre is a techni- cal magazine of an informative nature that is aimed at both the professional rail sector and railway enthusiasts. Geared to the dissemination of railway-related information, its aim is to add prestige and disseminate all aspects related to this mode of transport, with information that is produced accor- ding to criteria of technical rigour, informative language, documented texts and a positive stance. Published without interruption since 1964, the Vía Libre collection has become an essential reference to consult in order to understand the railway history in Spain.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    DISFRATA MADRID EN 2018.indd 1 29/11/18 11:49 Destination: the Region of Madrid, Spain. With its bright blue skies, mild climate, endless days of sunshine, and the exuberant lifestyle of the locals, Madrid never sleeps. The Spanish capital is unquestionably one of the liveliest cities in the world, and what’s more, it forms part of a dynamic region brimming with culture, art and natural beauty. Small towns and villages nestled amongst valleys and mountains are interspersed with prominent financial and business hubs. All of this makes up the Region of Madrid. Geographically situated in the centre of the country, and with great transport links, you can get pretty much anywhere in Spain or Portugal within a few hours. It’s also well connected to Europe and the rest of the world, especially America, by air. Madrid has been recognised as an important centre of culture throughout history. Great artists from all walks of life have made it their home. Major cultural centres, in both the city and many of its surrounding areas, today house works of art from across the ages. llustrious figures such as Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, uevedo, rtega y Gasset, Maraón and Chueca were born in Madrid. These days, the city is home to big names in sport, science, gastronomy, fashion and culture. Madrid is a region open to all those who wish to explore it. It’s a place that brings together a multitude of cultural, culinary, business, leisure and entertainment possibilities, with some of the best and most diverse tourist attractions in the world.

  • Issue No. 13 Summer 2009
    www.iberianrailwayssociety.org Issue No. 13 Summer 2009 he inaugural IRS meeting took place at the Model T Railway Club in London on 22nd February 2006, and was attended by about 20 prospective members from all around the UK. A general discussion took place and introductions, suggestions and proposals were made. At this meeting a small committee was voted on and tasked with setting up the Society on a formal basis. The Committee members are: Chairman David Stevenson Secretary Charles Phillips Journal Editor Michael Guerra Treasurer & Membership Secretary Tony Bowles Publicity & Exhibitions Myles Munsey THE BASICS The remit of the Society is to stimulate interest in and disseminate information about railways on the Iberian Peninsular and the Balearic Islands. It was felt at this time that extending this remit to Spanish and Portuguese speaking areas of the world would be too ambitious. It is proposed that a Society Journal be published four times a year and that this would be the main conduit between members. Local meetings and branches were also to be established wherever possible to encourage membership from the widest possible area. A fledgling library could be made available to members as time went on. Consideration would be given to organising trips from the UK, both formal and informal, as a way of enabling members to meet in a very convivial atmosphere and whilst indulging their passion for rail travel! MEMBERSHIP Membership was to be open to all and would entitle the member to receipt of the magazine, use of the Societies’ facilities and attendance and voting rights at an Annual General Meeting.
