O knihe
Enclosing Water is an environmental history of the
Industrial Revolution, as inscribed on the Liri valley in
Italy's Central Apennines. Amid forces of revolution and
empire, and Enlightenment discourses of 'improvement'
and political economy, the Liri's natural wealth - waterpower
- generated sweeping changes in its landscape
and working and living environments. This book tells
the story of how defining water as property - both
materially and discursively - led to the emergence of an
industrial riverscape, and of a concomitant new
ecological consciousness; to heightened environmental
risks and awareness of those risks. A dramatic century in
the Liri's socio-environmental history, with its cast of
new industrial bourgeoisie, engineers and civil servants,
illuminates how material developments and ideological
currents completely reshaped the relationship between
society and nature at the periphery of 19th century
Europe. By integrating Political Economy into the
narrative of European environmental history, this
pioneering book offers a critical new view of discourses
of water disorder and environmental politics in the
Mediterranean region.
