Sparkling, Plowing and Urbanizing (Paperback)

During the long process of modernization in the Greek countryside, the introduction of four quasi-urbanizing technologies (electricity, telephone, radio, automobile) was propagated at time-points of bending or changing material conditions. Subject and scope of technology applications were the peasant communities and the residents of suburban centers, which produce the conditions within the immanent landscape of land. The innovative appearances of technology in rural countryside were implemented through human action, which intervenes in the status-quo of spatial reality. Innovation scans everyday circumstances and dissolves them, regardless the Unity of the Community of the village, which cannot any time assimilate technology.
