The “technical time” of the Luxembourgish telephone system: about the transformative power of maintenance

Luxembourg’s telephone system struggled with a lack of capacity for subscriber lines and connections from its very early days in the 1880s. Drawing on a broad notion of maintenance, the chapter argues that for about 110 years, the postal administration tried to fix the capacity of the telephone network by introducing various new switching technologies.

Questioning the decline narrative of (consumer) repair

Questioning the decline narrative of (consumer) repair

For Western societies, the history of repair of consumer objects in the post-war period is usually told as a story of decline. As David Edgerton put it in The Shock of the Old: “a new toaster retails for less than an hour of repair work.” However, the “Histories of Maintenance and Repair in Luxembourg” project has shown that while official statistics on the development of small repair shops reveal a reorganization of the Luxembourg repair sector, from mending shoes and clothes to fixing electrical devices and cars, they do not point to a general decline in the field.

Introduction

Introduction

This chapter outlines the conceptual framework of the book and the variety of viewpoints related to the use of the notion of scale and zooming in digital history and humanities. The contributions included in the volume encompass different degrees of theoretical assumptions, practical insights and middle-ground reflections, symbolically expressed through the three conceptual levels: bird’s-eye view, overhead view and ground view.
