Florian Eitel - THE TIME INDUSTRY AT THE DAWN OF GLOBALIZATION ---- SAINT-IMIER 1872: THE WATCHMAKING VALLEY AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ANARCHIST MOVEMENT ---- 240 pp. EUR 18.00 ---- ISBN 978-88-9595087-7 ----[Translated and adapted into Italian by Nino Lisibak, based on the French version edited by Marianne Enckell.]---- Anarchism and globalization are terms that have always fueled endless debates and are often associated with stereotypes. For the press and much of the public, anarchism remains anchored to the figure of the dreamer or the terrorist. In other cases, it has become a local attraction-as in Saint-Imier, where an international congress that laid the foundations of the anarchist movement took place in 1872-becoming an integral part of the tourist circuit.

Globalization is now considered a contemporary phenomenon due to the growing importance of communications, trade, and finance, as well as the dismantling of many national barriers. But history teaches us that some globalizing trends have already manifested themselves in the past. It was especially between 1860 and 1880 that technological and economic innovations intensified, and it was precisely during these same years that, thanks to its universal program and transnational activities, anarchism grew and developed.

The book analyzes the Saint-Imier valley and its population, the transformation of its villages, the watchmaking industry, the political and economic fabric, communications, and the perception of time in terms of the cultural changes they brought about. The narrative of the September 1872 congress, its participants and their contacts, and the importance of its resolutions, contributes new insights into the history of anarchism, as well as the cultural implications of that congress: the relationship between globalization and class consciousness in the valley, collective identity and the consolidation of the anarchist movement, the hope for a social revolution, and perceptions of the times to come.
