  • Swiss Intellectuals and the Cold War Anti-Communist Policies in a Neutral Country
    Swiss Intellectuals and the Cold War Anti-Communist Policies in a Neutral Country ✣ Hadrien Buclin Nowadays many Swiss citizens would be surprised to learn that in the 1950s some Swiss journalists and lecturers were sentenced to prison or lost their jobs because of “thought crimes.” The 1950s are generally remembered as the time of the “Swiss economic miracle”—with the construction of high- ways and large hydroelectric dams—rather than of strong political con- frontation. The picture of a neutral country does not really mesh with the evocation of anti-Communist restrictions. What can explain the strength of Swiss Cold War policies in the 1950s—policies that left their mark on many aspects of political and cultural life in the country? Exactly what form did such official anti-Communism take in a neutral country like Switzerland, and how did it fit with other Western countries’ anti-Communist policies? Was Switzerland an exception, or can parallels be established with other neu- tral European states—in particular, Sweden, a small neutral country in many ways similar to Switzerland? These are just some of the questions this article addresses. The legal barriers facing Swiss Communist intellectuals during the early Cold War have been underexamined in the current historiography and are in need of reassessment. The legal proceedings were specifically motivated by the Swiss government’s determination to defend a slick image of neutrality against severe criticism from the Communist states, which accused Switzer- land of covertly allying with the Western camp. Two Swiss Communists were sentenced for slander, and their trials are emblematic of how a neutral coun- try coped with the Western anti-Communist battle.

I am only passionately curious.” Premium Partners: Thanks to our natural curiosity, we ask questions, learn new things and acquire knowledge. Our pas- sion for biology and our willingness to acquire knowledge bring the participants of the Internation- al Biology-Olympiad (IBO) together.

More than a hundred years ago, Albert Einstein submitted his paper “On the electro-dynamics of moving bodies” to the Annalen der Physik journal. He wrote this paper – in Bern’s Old Town where he used to live – driven by his passionate curiosity and the knowledge acquired in his studies. This paper became the base of his special theory of relativity and went down in history. And this – if we First Partners: believe his own words – without any special talent! Curiosity and passion are trademarks of the In- ternational Biology Olympiad. It is also important, even after the end of IBO 2013, to stay corious!

St John’s College, 2005! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! This dissertation is submitted for the degree of! Doctor of Philosophy! !1 ! ! !2 Abstract! ! ! ! ! ! Neither communist, nor fascist, the personalist third way was an original attempt to remedy the malaise of liberal democracies in 1930s Europe. Personalism puts the emphasis on the human person – understood to be an individual in relation to others – as the foundation and aim of society. Yet, because of the impossibility of subjecting the human person to a systematic definition, personalism remains complex and multifaceted, to the extent that it might be best to speak of ‘personalisms’ in the plural. The various personalist movements that emerged in France in the 1930s are little known, and the current historiography in English misrepresents them. ! This dissertation is a study of the various personalist movements based in France in the 1930s, examining their spiritual research and political philosophy through the vantage point of Swiss writer Denis de Rougemont (1906-1985). In Rougemont lies the key to understanding the personalist groupings because he was the only thinker to remain active in the two foremost movements (Ordre Nouveau and Esprit) throughout the 1930s. The personalism of Ordre Nouveau was the most original, in both senses of the term. It deserves particular attention as an important political philosophy and an attempt to justify political and economic federalism in 1930s Europe. Whilst an Ordre Nouveau activist, Rougemont can be looked upon as the mediator and federator of personalisms in the 1930s. ! However, Rougemont’s particular contribution to personalist thought was more spiritual and theological than political or economic.

Hacken: A History Of The Swiss In California A History of the Swiss in California by Richard Hacken1 In 1848, the same year that Switzerland’s political structure took on its present constitutional form as a modern nation-state, a Swiss settler-entrepreneur named John Sutter became aware of gold deposits at his mill in Alta California. This led directly to the California Gold Rush. Two years later, in 1850, the United States accepted the fresh- ly acquired and promising region now known as “California” into the Union as a state. Swiss immigrants enhanced the development of Cali- fornia from its very inception. Sutter, the charismatic chameleon-adventurer,2 had marketed himself at times to prospective clients and business partners as “Captain John Sutter of the Swiss Guards.”3 His contribution to the development of California, which was transitioning from being part of a sparsely populated Mexican province to a booming American state, was signifi- cant.

Painting from 1944 in the Emaus chapel, near Bremgarten in the canton of Aargau. © FDFA, Presence Switzerland In the first half of the 20th century, Switzerland lived through not only two world wars but also an interwar period that saw a dramatic economic downturn and major political unrest. Although Switzerland was spared the direct impact of both wars, the country’s development was heavily influenced by political events abroad. The wars exposed the Swiss economy’s dependency on imports and exports. The global economic crisis of 1929 plunged the country into a depression that would last many years. Domestic politics was marked by tensions between the centre-right parties and the Left. Relations between the two sides became particularly strained following the General Strike of 1918. This tense climate prevailed until the 1930s, when the political forces closed ranks in order to head off external threats. National solidarity was sealed with the election of the Social Democrat Ernst Nobs to the Federal Council in 1943.

The value of exports doubled between 1887 and 1912. A third of the population derived an income, either directly or indirectly, from foreign trade. Per capita, Switzerland was the world’s leading exporter of machinery and, for a time, was even the top export nation, outstripping the United Kingdom and Germany.

  • Hermann Hesse on Lake Constance Lecture Given by Volker Michels
    “As far away from Berlin as I can get!” Hermann Hesse on Lake Constance Lecture given by Volker Michels Hermann Hesse was 27 when he came to Gaienhofen, and 35 when he moved away again. He thus lived there for just under 8 years (from 1904 to 1912), a period equivalent to a bare tenth of his life. Yet it was a period that was to prove formative both in terms of his own future development and also for the Untersee region, the part of the “Swabian Sea” where the Rhine flows out of the lake, and the area that has remained the most beautiful and quietest section of Lake Constance (“Bodensee” in German) right up to the present day. For this stretch of country, as later in the case of southern Switzerland, Hesse’s decision to settle there marked the beginning of a period in which many other artists were drawn to the region. Yet it never became a homogenous artists’ colony - not a Worpswede on Lake Constance, in other words - no matter how numerous the motivations shared by the fellow writers and artists that lived there, a community seeking to live an alternative lifestyle far away from the devastations of civilization and industrialization in countryside that had remained intact and unspoilt. And they knew why they decided to do so. None of them came to the region from the provinces but from big cities: Hesse from Basel, Otto Dix from Berlin and Düsseldorf, Erich Heckel from Dresden and Berlin. Where, after all, is one more aware of the disparities, and better able to depict them, than when confronted with the unspoilt obverse of the denaturization
