The text deals with the years of the Industrial Revolution in England with an unconventional approach, as it addresses the factual results of that transformation of production processes, often forgotten in the reading of historians. The text, while recalling the technical aspects, focuses on its outcomes - that is the products -, on its actors - therefore the companies, the industrialists and the men assigned to commercial promotion - and on its innovative dimension of market aggression. It also underlines how the affirmation of the English product changes the profile of contemporary society and supports the fashions of the time making them available, with the appropriate diversifications, to different market segments, translating the object of use into an object of desire, transforming the use in consumption and exporting with it the idea of English civilization.
Il testo affronta con un approccio non convenzionale gli anni della Rivoluzione Industriale avvenuta in Inghilterra, in quanto affronta gli esiti fattuali di quella trasformazione dei processi produttivi, spesso dimenticati nella lettura degli storici. Il testo, pur ricordando gli aspetti tecnici, si concentra sui suoi esiti – cioè i prodotti –, sui suoi attori – quindi le imprese, gli industriali e gli uomini deputati alla promozione commerciale – e sulla sua innovativa dimensione di aggressione dei mercati. Sottolinea anche come l’affermazione del prodotto inglese cambi il profilo della società contemporanea e assecondi le mode del tempo rendendole disponibili, con le opportune diversificazioni, a diverse fasce di mercato, traducendo l’oggetto d’uso in un oggetto di desiderio, trasformando l’uso in consumo ed esportando con esso l’idea della civiltà inglese.

Abstract
The text deals with the years of the Industrial Revolution in England with an unconventional approach, as it addresses the factual results of that transformation of production processes, often forgotten in the reading of historians. The text, while recalling the technical aspects, focuses on its outcomes - that is the products -, on its actors - therefore the companies, the industrialists and the men assigned to commercial promotion - and on its innovative dimension of market aggression. It also underlines how the affirmation of the English product changes the profile of contemporary society and supports the fashions of the time making them available, with the appropriate diversifications, to different market segments, translating the object of use into an object of desire, transforming the use in consumption and exporting with it the idea of English civilization.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
