Unter Heranziehung von mehr als 500 literarischen und publizistischen Texten wird erstmals nach 1945 dem Phänomen der Schweizbegeisterung der Deutschen über einen Zeitraum von 150 Jahren nachgegangen. Nach der Beschäftigung mit den sozial- und geistesgeschichtlichen Voraussetzungen, die die emphatische Zuwendung zum Nachbarland erst ermöglichten, werden die Konstituenten des sich in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts etablierenden Mythos herausgearbeitet. Die Eidgenossenschaft wurde von vielen Deutschen zu einem Refugium stilisiert, das sich der dekadenten höfischen und der modernen bürgerlichen Lebenswelt entgegenstellen ließ und somit als Spiegelungsraum eigener Wünsche und Hoffnungen dienen konnte. Es entstand eine Begriffs- und vor allem Bildwelt, die innerhalb des Untersuchungszeitraums weitestgehend konstant blieben, auch wenn Teile der publizierenden Öffentlichkeit kontroverse Debatten über die politischen Strukturen des Nachbarlandes führten und zeitweise sogar - insbesondere während der Befreiungskriege - zu einer kritischen Sicht auf die Schweiz gelangten.

Since 1882, the Gotthard Railway, with its fifteen-kilometerlong tunnel under the Gotthard Mountains, has provided a crucialinternational link through the Swiss Alps, between North-WesternEurope and Italy. Its symbolic meaning has never sunk into oblivion.In Swiss society today, references to the railway evoke images of atechnological railway project, with allusions to Swiss history, alpinenature, and national identity. Reading this book helps us understandcontemporary discussions about the future of the Gotthard Railway,the region in which it lies, and the Swiss national identity.To illustrate to what extent historical actors co-constructedthe railway and Swiss identity, the book starts with an engineeringdiscussion about tunneling methods. Then it examinesreactions in Switerland to the inauguration of the railway line.Subsequently, it describes how the railway line was portrayedin travel guides of the belle poque. The last chapter capturesthe glory days of the Gotthard myth, before and during the SecondWorld War, with a focus on novels and plays in which theGotthard Tunnel construction occurs. This historical overviewoffers insight into the multiple roles that technology plays in theconstruction of a sense of national identity.

Unter dem Stichwort "Mythos Schweiz" diskutiert dieser Band die prominente Rolle insbesondere der Deutschschweizer Literatur für Identitätsbildungsprozesse und ihre kritische Reflexion in der Schweiz im 20. Jahrhundert.Er versammelt die Beiträge einer Dubliner Tagung aus dem Jahre 2006, die namhafte Schweizer Germanisten und Fachkollegen aus Irland, Großbritannien, Kanada, den USA und Deutschland zusammenbrachte. Besonders seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs ist die Schweizer Literatur im kulturell-gesellschaftlichen Ensemble der Diskurse ein zentrales Medium für die Fort- und Umschreibungen etablierter Schweiz-Mythen wie etwa 'Sonderfall', 'Eidgenossenschaft', 'Neutralität', 'Alpen', 'Multikulturalität' oder 'literarischer Gegendiskurs'. Diese und andere Mythen analysiert der Band unter Schwerpunktthemen wie: das Konzept "Schweizer Literatur" im Zeichen von Globalisierung und Multikulturalität; das Verhältnis zwischen den Sprachen und Kulturen in der Schweiz und zum größeren deutschsprachigen Kulturraum; das Verhältnis von Geschichte, Landschaft und Identität; die Spannung zwischen Regionalem und Globalem, Schweizspezifik und Internationalismus; die unterschiedlichen Generationenprofile innerhalb der schweizerischen Autoren.

How do national stereotypes emerge? To which extent are they determined by historical or ideological circumstances, or else by cultural, literary or discursive conventions? This first inclusive critical compendium on national characterizations and national (cultural or ethnic) stereotypes contains 120 articles by 73 contributors. Its three parts offer [1] a number of in-depth survey articles on ethnic and national images in European literatures and cultures over many centuries; [2] an encyclopedic survey of the stereotypes and characterizations traditionally ascribed to various ethnicities and nationalities; and [3] a conspectus of relevant concepts in various cultural fields and scholarly disciplines. The volume as a whole, as well as each of the articles, has extensive bibliographies for further critical reading. Imagologyis intended both for students and for senior scholars, facilitating not only a first acquaintance with the historical development, typology and poetics of national stereotypes, but also a deepening of our understanding and analytical perspective by interdisciplinary and comparative contextualization and extensive cross-referencing.

This book examines the ways in which the Swiss defined their national identity in the long nineteenth century, in the face of a changing domestic and international background. Its narrative begins in 1761, when the first Swiss patriotic society of national significance was founded, and ends in 1891, when the Swiss celebrated their 600-year existence as a nation in a monumental national festival. While conceding that the creation of a nation-state in 1848 marked a watershed in the history of Swiss nation-formation, the author does not focus one-sidedly - as many others have done - on the activities of the nationalizing state. Instead, he attributes a key role to the competitive and contentious struggles over the shaping of public institutions and over the symbolic representation of the nation. These struggles, to which the nation-state and civil society contributed in equal measure, were framed increasingly along national lines.

This book is an original synthesis of four elements: (1) the phenomenology of value, (2) caring, (3) the moral imagination, and (4) Kant's formula of humanity. The striking result is an ethics of caring that develops our shared humanity. The probing analysis and pungent argument are assisted by imaginative forms of dialogue, narration, and parable. This lively contribution to our ethical fulfillment concludes with a case for student-centered education that is democratic, creative and caring.

Interest in the study of national identity as a collective phenomenon is a growing concern among the social and political sciences. This book addresses the scholarly interest in examining the origins of ideologies and social practices that give historical meaning, cohesion and uniqueness to modern national communities. It focuses on the various routes taken towards the construction of cultural authenticity as an inspirational purpose of nation-building and reveals the diversity of the themes, practices and symbols used to encourage self-identification and communality. Among the techniques explored are the dramatization of suffering and tragedy, the exaltation of heroes and deeds, the evocation of landscape, nature and the arts and the delimitation of collective values to be pursued during reconstruction in post-war periods.
