History as usual starts from the margins, from those that obtingly continue to believe that they are margins. But what is the story? That of teleferics (or cable cars) as a means of urban public transport and as a means of citizenship. Let us admit you immediately, of the symbols of modernity, teleferics is certainly not the most eminent, with a space on the side, which is almost insignificant. Yet, if modern time was really the linear and accelerated vector that some narratives on modernity still claim to be, thus substantiating its founding violence, then the teleferics could almost condense its basic character, and become a kind of chronotope of a certain idea of modern (and even the capital – there is no modernity without capitalism).
