Abstract
as a utopia, an anti-economic folly? It will nonetheless remain – whether we can make it happen or not – one of the biggest conceptions of our time, and one day we will realize, maybe too late, that the wisest thing to do was to have the audacity to set about doing the Trans-saharan railway, when M. Duponchel suggested it, twelve years ago already].
期刊介绍:
Nineteenth-Century Contexts is committed to interdisciplinary recuperations of “new” nineteenth centuries and their relation to contemporary geopolitical developments. The journal challenges traditional modes of categorizing the nineteenth century by forging innovative contextualizations across a wide spectrum of nineteenth century experience and the critical disciplines that examine it. Articles not only integrate theories and methods of various fields of inquiry — art, history, musicology, anthropology, literary criticism, religious studies, social history, economics, popular culture studies, and the history of science, among others.
