From One End of the Earth to the Other End of the Earth«
During the 19th century, new and improved communication and transportation technologies expanded »the known world.« This was especially true for the interconnected Jewish world, which readily utilized these technologies to communicate between remote communities. Accordingly, late 19th-century Jewish journals describe their readership, authorship and content as global rather than local. Although this concept rarely refers to the whole world, it is…
Computational Analysis of Historical Hebrew Newspapers
This article focuses on one decade, 1874–1883, in the relatively long lifespan of the Hebrew weekly Ha-Tzefirah , which was founded in Warsaw in 1862. Applying computational tools to the study of the early Hebrew press requires a unique effort. The Hebrew language in general is distinct in its characters, morphological structure, and word order. The contribution of this proof-of-concept study is two-fold: First, computational analysis provides a …

Regionalism and Nationalism in the Railway Cartography of Mid-Nineteenth Century Germany

The evolution of a railway system in Germany, from isolated single routes into national and ultimately international networks, has been customarily linked to the political issue of unification in 1871. The infrastructural changes triggered the introduction of new maps and map signs, which overshadowed other national and …
Communication and State Construction
A comparison between five nineteenth-century German states demonstrates the importance of postal systems for nation-building and nationalism. Prior to the formal unification of Germany under Emperor Wilhelm of Prussia in 1871, the various German states evinced scant political, administrative, social, or geographical cohesion until their postal systems created a communications infrastructure that gradually eroded traditional barriers
