An official invite with the date and time will be sent out shortly. Please make yourself available to elect the board members and to take part in society relevant decisions. One important topic will be the special resolution that will replace the old constitution with the version that has been accepted at the AGM in 2013. Irregularities in the registered version and the working document of the board made this step necessary. 1 The Swiss Society Online There is much going on in the world wide web, as the Swiss Society of Vancouver is transforming its online presence. We are in the process of redesigning the website of the Society with the idea of de- cluttering its contents and make it easier to navigate through the menu. The website is an important portal to attract new members and keeping the Swiss community informed about our events.

  • Patricians, Politics and Porridge Olympics – the Scottish Highland Games and the Swiss Unspunnen Festival and the Idea of the Noble Savage
    International Journal of Ethnosport and Traditional Games, №1 (1) 2019 For references: Koehler, A. (2019) Patricians, Politics and Porridge Olympics – the Scottish Highland Games and the Swiss Unspunnen Festival and the Idea of the Noble Savage. International Journal of Ethnosport and Traditional Games, (1), 32–59. DOI: https://www.doi.org/10.34685/HI.2019.1.1.009 PATRICIANS, POLITICS AND PORRIDGE OLYMPICS – THE SCOTTISH HIGHLAND GAMES AND THE SWISS UNSPUNNEN FESTIVAL AND THE IDEA OF THE NOBLE SAVAGE Axel Koehler Master of Philology, ORCID: 0000-0002-2990-0921 University of Edinburgh, Department of Celtic Studies and Scottish Ethnology; Department of Migration and Refugees, teacher of German as a Foreign Language in the service; GERMANY Abstract The following article will first consider the similarities and the differences of the Swiss and the Scottish concepts of folk culture, then the author will give a thorough overview of the Scottish Highland Games and their Swiss equivalents today, before examining the origins of either in order to discuss the genuineness of these events and their acceptance and role in their respective communities. For providing a broad and exact overview, the origins of the various athletic disciplines of the ethnic sports competitions in question will also be considered. In the Scottish case, the primary question here is in how far Highland Games are still genuinely Gaelic or whether they have ever been thus, and whether there are any Highland Games that are true to the pre-nineteenth century origins of most athletic disciplines featured. In the Swiss case, it will be shown that the originally staged herdsfolk games have indeed been accepted by the wider Swiss German community and are today largely arranged for locals and less so for tourists, though the latter are welcome.
