Drawing on nearly one hundred European cross-border travel accounts-especially by travelers from the northern Netherlands-it argues that mobility depended less on technological innovation than on what travelers imagined technology could do. Rather than being driven by inventions, satisfactory travel hinged on the availability of \"ordinary\" technologies, dense transport networks, reliable services, dry weather, affordable and socially accepted modes of transport, and travelers' bodies' perceived capacities. Meanwhile, over time, it was broader economic transformations and shifts in mentality that most deeply reshaped patterns of travel. Responding to calls from science and technology studies, the article redefines technology as a socially specific repertoire of imaginable practices rather than a sequence of modernizing breakthroughs.</p>","PeriodicalId":49446,"journal":{"name":"Technology and Culture","volume":"66 3","pages":"675-710"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144734864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Do they act independently of humans, and how might materiality help us better describe the relationship between humans and infrastructures? This special section explores the promises and limits of new materialism for the history of infrastructure, complicating conventional understandings of the built world. New materialist approaches posit that the material world has intrinsic capacities-forms of agency that operate beyond human intent. While infrastructures are human-made, their assembly and operation involve numerous nonhuman actors and forces outside human control. The articles in this section approach infrastructures through material artifacts such as jamming sluice gates, minuscule sand particles, toxic creosote, crumbling concrete, and even the ionosphere. They examine how humans responded to these substances, structural components, expected material properties, and unknown matter like the ionosphere. This perspective reframes our understanding of infrastructure, knowledge production, and human-technology relations by foregrounding the thing-power embedded in the human-made environment.</p>","PeriodicalId":49446,"journal":{"name":"Technology and Culture","volume":"66 3","pages":"711-730"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144734865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the logistic innovations of World War II are widely recognized, those developed during World War I, particularly in aviation, are less well known but equally groundbreaking. The Royal Flying Corps pioneered agile supply chain strategies that sustained continuous air superiority on the Western Front-helping break the stalemate of trench warfare.
