| Summary: | "When, in the late 1980s, the federal government initiated a plan to deregulate the Canadian railway system, lobby groups protested the betrayal of a national mandate. They asserted that the railway was founded to promote a sense of national identity, to provide access to isolated regions of the country, and to ensure a transnational exchange of goods and ideas. In The Philosophy of Railways, A.A. den Otter considers the relationship between nationalism and technology, and shows how the popular rhetoric surrounding the evolution of the Canadian Pacific Railway has mythologized the role of a private corporation and its technology. He questions the notion that the railways were built as an antidote to American manifest destiny, suggesting instead that the widespread adoption of railway transportation as a civilizing mission impelled Canadians to bow to technology's integrating effects, including confederation and closer ties with the United States."--Jacket |

They asserted that the railway was founded to promote a sense of national identity, to provide access to isolated regions of the country, and to ensure a transnational exchange of goods and ideas. In The Philosophy of Railways, A.A. den Otter considers the relationship between nationalism and technology, and shows how the popular rhetoric surrounding the evolution of the Canadian Pacific Railway has mythologized the role of a private corporation and its technology. He questions the notion that the railways were built as an antidote to American manifest destiny, suggesting instead that the widespread adoption of railway transportation as a civilizing mission impelled Canadians to bow to technology's integrating effects, including confederation and closer ties with the United States."--Jacket</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="g">1.</subfield><subfield code="t">Technological Nationalism: The Backdrop --</subfield><subfield code="g">2.</subfield><subfield code="t">The Guarantee Act: Signpost for an Era --</subfield><subfield code="g">3.</subfield><subfield code="t">Nova Scotia: Railways and the New Economy --</subfield><subfield code="g">4.</subfield><subfield code="t">The Grand Trunk Railway: The New Imperialism --</subfield><subfield code="g">5.</subfield><subfield code="t">Saint John: Fulcrum Metropol --</subfield><subfield code="g">6.</subfield><subfield code="t">The Pacific Scandal: Nationalism and Business --</subfield><subfield code="g">7.</subfield><subfield code="t">The National Policy: Defining a Nation --</subfield><subfield code="g">8.</subfield><subfield code="t">The Philosophy of Railways: Conclusions and Conjectures.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Print version record.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="610" ind1="2" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Canadian Pacific Railway Company</subfield><subfield code="x">History.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="610" ind1="2" ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Canadian Pacific Railway Company</subfield><subfield code="x">Histoire.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="610" ind1="2" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Canadian Pacific Railway Company</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="610" ind1="2" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Canadian Pacific Railway</subfield><subfield code="g">Firma</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4227424-2</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Railroads</subfield><subfield code="z">Canada</subfield><subfield code="x">History.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Chemins de fer</subfield><subfield code="z">Canada</subfield><subfield code="x">Histoire.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">TRANSPORTATION</subfield><subfield code="x">Railroads</subfield><subfield code="x">History.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Railroads</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Canada</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJkMHVW4rfVXPrhVP4VwG3</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Eisenbahn</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Britisch-Nordamerika</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Spoorwegen.</subfield><subfield code="2">gtt</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Electronic books.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">e-books.</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">History</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Livres numériques.</subfield><subfield code="2">rvmgf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">The philosophy of railways (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGX7FVgkm6trqQpWmPy3cd</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Otter, A.A. den (Andy Albert den), 1941-</subfield><subfield code="t">Philosophy of railways.</subfield><subfield code="d">Toronto ;

"When, in the late 1980s, the federal government initiated a plan to deregulate the Canadian railway system, lobby groups protested the betrayal of a national mandate. They asserted that the railway was founded to promote a sense of national identity, to provide access to isolated regions of the country, and to ensure a transnational exchange of goods and ideas. In The Philosophy of Railways, A.A. den Otter considers the relationship between nationalism and technology, and shows how the popular rhetoric surrounding the evolution of the Canadian Pacific Railway has mythologized the role of a private corporation and its technology. He questions the notion that the railways were built as an antidote to American manifest destiny, suggesting instead that the widespread adoption of railway transportation as a civilizing mission impelled Canadians to bow to technology's integrating effects, including confederation and closer ties with the United States."--Jacket 1.
