Das 20. Jahrhundert hat, in verschiedenen Speichermedien, musikalische Quellen in Hülle und Fülle überliefert. Die Geschichtswissenschaft macht bisher jedoch einen großen Bogen um diese klanglichen Hinterlassenschaften. Von dieser
Diskrepanz geht der folgende Text aus. Er wird erörtern, was gegen die Arbeit mit musikalischen Quellen spricht, warum sie dennoch wichtig sein könnte und welche Schleichpfade sich anbieten, um der Musik historisch auf die Spur zu kommen. Dabei wird weniger eine konkrete Programmatik entwickelt als ein Problem umkreist, das sich als unlösbar und gleichwohl aufschlussreich erweisen könnte.
This article examines the rise of aeromobile sprawl, which is defined here as aviation’s socio-environmental impact on people, places, and things, in Canada during the 1970s. It links aeromobile sprawl largely to state-led airport development and the effect that upgrading, expanding, and building new airports had on communities and landscapes. Accordingly, it shows that while aeromobile sprawl was to some extent an outcome of postwar developments not limited to aviation, the Canadian government and its partners also contributed to sprawl by endorsing various policies and strategies that shifted over the period in question. At the same time, these actions did not go unnoticed. Public critiques of aeromobile sprawl emerged as people increasingly objected to larger and busier airports operating near populated and non-industrial areas. This article demonstrates that debates in Canada about airport development and the rapid growth of aviation revealed sharply diverging views about how to best accommodate the mobility requirements of mass air travel within the country’s natural and built environments in the 1970s.
