報告題目:Iran in Motion: Experiences of the Trans-Iranian Railway
報告要旨:
This talk will examine how the Trans-Iranian Railway project reorganized the movement of people and commodities in its early years of operation during the 1930s and 1940s. Constructed by the newly-established Pahlavi state between 1927 and 1938, the railway is commonly seen as the symbol of national political, economic, and cultural centralization undertaken by Reza Shah Pahlavi (r. 1925-41). Yet, once we shift focus from the shah to planners, builders, operators, and users of the railway, we can see a large-scale co-production of mobilities and immobilities on local, national, and transnational levels. Using a wide array of sources, including Iranian and American archival documents, industry publications, memoirs, and travelogues, this talk focuses on railway workers and travelers to explore how such im/mobilities created new sites of intra-social interactions, particularly in the context of the Allied occupation and its immediate aftermath.
