Enigma Helvetia indaga il rapporto complesso che, dalla fine dell'Ottocento ai giorni nostri, intercorre tra la produzione artistica, la storia, la cultura e l'immaginario del singolare laboratorio che è la Svizzera. Nel secolo appena trascorso si sono susseguiti profondi cambiamenti sociopolitici, al cospetto dei quali il paese ha profilato la propria identità e la propria posizione internazionale, condizionando inevitabilmente - per reazione o identificazione, rottura o assimilazione -, anche le espressioni di creatività . La mostra, documentata nel catalogo, propone un'esplorazione avventurosa, curiosa e persino divertente dentro l'enigma elvetico, affiancando alle straordinarie opere d'arte provenienti dai più importanti musei svizzeri, immagini e oggetti del quotidiano, delle tradizioni e della produzione industriale svizzera. Il volume edito in ed. bilingue italiano/inglese riporta al suo interno alcuni testi in tedesco, francese e romancio. Annotation Supplied by Informazioni Editoriali

At the turn of the twentieth century, nations, both sovereign and aspiring, feverishly worked to define, foster, and promote national identity. While historians have recognized the significance of this moment for modern identity formations, it has largely been neglected by art historians. Art, Culture and National Identity in Fin-de-Siècle Europe examines the phenomenon of politicized art and its connections to modernism. In eleven essays that focus on as many nations, an international team of authors explore the complex issues facing artists who helped to form a distinct national identity to audiences at home and abroad. The detailed case studies unravel the matrix of circumstances that fostered nationalistic developments, thereby offering a more nuanced understanding of European art and culture around 1900.

What might the end of the world look like, to people who inhabit high mountains, whose lives are governed by the dependable revolution of the seasons? Perhaps the sun might slip beneath a western ridge one evening, and not return in the morning. In the first half of the 20th century, that terrifying prospect represented a mild version of hell. Real hell would be knowing in advance that it was going to happen. And so, revisiting a theme that Charles Ferdinand Ramuz had explored many times before in his fiction-notably in a short story that he wrote in 1912, on the eve of another war-he bestowed upon the villagers of Upper Saint-Martin the dreadful knowledge that the sun was sick and would soon expire, leaving them to die alone in the cold and the dark. The prophecy falls from the lips of the village sage and healer, Antoine Anzevui. The weather seems to bear him out. But the sun abandons those parts for a few months every year, so to accept the prophecy means to have faith in the prophet-to believe him when he says that the life-giving star won't return as expected in the spring. What holds for Upper Saint-Martin holds for the rest of the world, because in Ramuz's novels the village is the world and the world is the village Written in Fench as Si le soleil ne revenait pas and translated into English for the first time by Michelle Bailt-Jones, here are both the 1912 short story and the 1937 novel - What if the sun..."

The Sylph, by Claude Prosper Jolyot de Crébillon (fils) is an English translation of a little gem of a short story and libertine work first published in 1730, from the French (Le Sylphe, ou Songe de Madame de R*** écrit par elle-même à Madame de S***). Sylphs or Sylphids are, as most people do not know, elemental aery creatures, or spirits, not unlike faeries or nymphs even. Unlike nymphs, they come in both sexes, but in this genre-breaking short story they come in just one (vir). English-language readers will have encountered their very first sylph perhaps in Alexander Pope?s The Rape of the Lock, written around the same time and published unfortunately on the wrong side of the Channel. The Sylph in this story by Crébillon fils ("fils" to distinguish him from his father) is a tad more libertine than that of the Lock (assuming the Lock qualifies, which it doesn?t). Short, as all short stories are, it takes place entirely in the bedroom of the young, charming, and beautiful Countess, Madame de R***, as she prepares to go to sleep for the night and is visited by a... male Sylph, or so it seems. Rather like The School of Women, which also takes place almost entirely in a bedroom, or bedrooms, and which is also of the libertine genre - The Sylph is about as tame and aery as libertine stories get. Even more so than the Ecclesiastical Laurels. But light and entertaining, it is also quite funny at times. The plot: a Sylph visits the Countess, who is not sure whether she is awake or dreaming, and seduces her in so many words."...I had retired to my room; the night was warm. I went to bed in a modest fashion, for someone who believes she is alone, but would not have done so if I had thought someone was watching me."
