Ogni civiltà ha sviluppato saperi e tecniche per gestire e sfruttare l'acqua, elemento essenziale per la vita umana, ma anche per difendersi dalle minacce che possono derivare dalla convivenza con essa. In età preindustriale, la necessità di gestire un bene così prezioso ha condotto allo sviluppo di tecnologie, alla costruzione d'infrastrutture, alla creazione di magistrature apposite, ma ha anche alimentato conflitti tra soggetti che pretendevano un accesso privilegiato o esclusivo alle risorse idriche. Inoltre, i rischi derivanti dalla prossimità di corsi d'acqua o di bacini lacustri hanno spesso indotto le società a sviluppare tecniche e pratiche di prevenzione. Questo spettro di problemi è al centro dei saggi raccolti in questo volume, che studiano varie città medie e grandi dell'Europa centro-occidentale - dalla Valle del Reno alla Penisola iberica, da Parigi a Palermo - tra il XIV e il XIX secolo.

This volume looks at the social history of oil workers to investigate how labor relations and experiences have shaped the emergence of this global extractive industry. Three inter-related themes are investigated by scholars: the political life of labor, the productive life of labor, and the urban and social life of labor. Compiled here is the work of scholars from a range of disciplines who situate labor and the social, political, and cultural dimensions of oil at the center of their analysis. In this comparative study, the historical and contemporary experiences of oil workers are analyzed from a number of key oil producing regions, including Latin America, the Middle East, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Europe and Africa.

La « transition énergétique » est aujourd’hui présentée dans le débat public sur le mode de l’évidence, comme si nos sociétés allaient connaître un même mouvement pour passer des mauvaises énergies fossiles aux bonnes énergies renouvelables. L’analyse sous le seul angle des politiques internationales ne suffit cependant pas à en saisir les conditions. Dans cet ouvrage, les auteurs proposent d’observer les réorientations énergétiques au présent comme au passé, « par le haut » comme « par le bas », telles qu’elles se négocient localement dans les territoires d’installation du nucléaire et des énergies renouvelables photovoltaïques et éoliennes. Les enquêtes socio-historiques menées dans différents contextes locaux en Italie et en France motivent la comparaison entre ces deux pays de la Méditerranée, contrastés en termes de mix énergétique et de dynamiques de choix : avec un nucléaire en déconstruction en Italie et toujours dominant dans la production électrique française ; avec des développements d’énergies renouvelables plus avancés en Italie qu’en France ; et avec des difficultés semblables pour se défaire du pétrole et du gaz. Dans les deux cas, les processus territoriaux de transition énergétique interrogent les choix des politiques publiques oscillant entre la décentralisation régionale et la tentation constante de recentralisation étatique.
