Price I am naturally very much pleased to have been honored to give an account of my diverse encounters with Switzerland and matters Swiss. And in this connection, I should point out that I have no Swiss ancestors and that my relationship to Helvetia is purely elective on my part. I was born in Bonn on the Rhine (a well-known Swiss export), where my father was an English-language instructor; my mother came from a Rhenish family. While growing up in Germany, my parents decided that I should spend my summer vacation at a home (Kinderheim) near Flims in Graubiinden. I had a wonderful time in this sunny Alpine spot, and remember the happy days with nostalgia. But fate struck a few years later, as the big mountain behind the home slid down and devastated it. - At the end of my stay my father picked me up, and we hiked down the Axenstrasse along Lake Lucerne.

  • Improving Impactful Currency Systems for a Sustainable Economy in Switzerland
    4th International Conference on Social and Complementary Currencies Money, Consciousness and Values for Social Change: Real Experiences Swiss impact currency: improving impactful currency systems for a sustainable economy in Switzerland Christophe PLACE ▪ Antonin CALDERON ▪ Fabien CORDEIRO 10th of May 2017 Haute École de Gestion de Genève ▪ Geneva ▪ Switzerland Corresponding author: [email protected] 10th of May 2017 to 14th of May 2017 ▪ Barcelona ▪ Spain Parc Tecnològic Nou Barris ▪ Universitat Oberta de Catalunya http://ramics.org/barcelona2017/ ABSTRACT Switzerland has not only the oldest and biggest modern complementary currency in the world, the WIR created in 1934 with a transaction volume equivalent of CHF 1.5 billion Swiss francs representing 3.5% of Swiss franc currency circulation in 2008, but also the second cross-border complementary currency in the world, the Léman created in September 2015 in a Franco-Swiss conurbation with 80'000 units in circulation at par with Swiss franc and euro among a network of 350 organizations and 1'300 users in November 2016. Moreover, with about 44 social currencies, 14 complementary currencies, Switzerland, counts among reference case studies in the virtual, social and complementary currency systems domain. Nevertheless, some questions remain: (1) What is the historical, cultural, political and economical context of this innovation laboratory? (2) What is the relevant legislation to support such monetary innovation? (3) What are the genuine utility and impact of these currencies? To contribute to these research questions, a literature review and a research survey will allow us not only to overview the Swiss and the Greater Geneva currency systems, but also evaluate the interest of using complementary and virtual currency systems for a sustainable economy.

Flags are flown all year round, but they serve mainly decorative purposes on mountain tops, steam boats and on occasion, a church tower. The bright red square with the white cross livens up the green (or white) countryside, gray city streets and certainly looks photogenic against the blue sky of calendar pages. Swiss love their flag but don't pledge allegiance to it, not even on this day when it assumes a patriotic dimension and is flown everywhere, from ordinary buildings, across narrow streets in the old parts of towns, and shines through votive candle glasses on window sills.

The Opinion was forwarded to the Permanent Representative of Switzerland to the Council of Europe on 6 July 2018. Switzerland was then invited to submit written comments by 6 November 2018. The deadline was extended with the agreement of the Framework Convention Secretariat. The visit to Switzerland by an Advisory Committee delegation from 5 to 8 March 2018 enabled the Advisory Committee to obtain, in complete transparency, the various information it needed to carry out its assessment. The Swiss authorities once again stated the importance they attach to the constructive dialogue with the Advisory Committee. During the visit, the delegation held bilateral meetings with representatives of all the recognised national minorities, namely the national linguistic minorities, the Swiss Yenish and Sinti/Manush and members of Switzerland’s Jewish communities.

  • EUROPEANIZATION AS STRATEGY Disciplinary Shifts in Switzerland and the Formation of European Ethnology
    © Museum Tusculanum Press 2015 :: University of Copenhagen :: www.mtp.dk :: [email protected] EUROPEANIZATION AS STRATEGY Disciplinary Shifts in Switzerland and the Formation of European Ethnology Konrad J. Kuhn This paper examines the epistemological and institutional activities in the field of Volkskunde/ folklore studies in Switzerland leading to the discipline’s reformation as “European ethnology”. Drawing on archival materials, the article takes Arnold Niederer (1914–1998) as a starting point by showing how Niederer, his networks and research contexts were involved in the formation of the loose alliance of interests that were subsequently institutionalized. This paper traces the new perception of the discipline “European ethnology” as it draws on early transnational contacts of Swiss Folklore Studies in order to overcome the crisis in which Volkskunde found itself in the 1960s. Europeanization and an orientation toward the present were strategies to stabilize the academic discipline but also to establish the discipline in the public sphere. Keywords: European ethnology, Volkskunde/folklore studies, history of knowledge, disciplinary historiography, Switzerland European ethnology has never been a coherent, con- cross-cultural interests were present already well be- clusive discipline but has rather been a loose network fore the institutionalization of the corresponding re- of interests, topics and collaborations.

    REGIONAL NEWS UNITED STATES Dear Readers in the United States, While I write these lines, it rains outside. Contrary to most places, here we are so happy that it rains so we will get some relief from our drought. We are of course counting on “El Niño”. Our gardens look miserable, with brown lawns and wilted plants as we are only allowed to turnon the sprinklers twice a week. To cheer things up a bit, I have painted “Sparrows in Spring.” Again we have a Swiss Review with a wide variety of articles, so that eve- rybody should find something to their liking. I wish you all a Happy New Year and hope that we can all enjoy together the 2016 issues of Swiss Review.
