    UC Berkeley TRANSIT Title Plea for a Mobile Identity Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8jd063wq Journal TRANSIT, 4(1) Author Loetscher, Hugo Publication Date 2008-11-26 DOI 10.5070/T741009729 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California I must confess I have my problems with identity, with the word as well as with the phenomenon. But there is no avoiding the debates about the concept. A few days after my birth a form was filled out confirming that I had been born in Switzerland of Swiss parents, which is why today I am considered a Swiss. And yet, when I was still a baby I was also brought to the church to be baptized. They told me that I cried, because of the cold water. I have another version: it was my first attempt at self-determination. I came by a religious and a national identity without being asked. By the time I was able to ask questions, the answers had already been given. Today I am no longer a reliably practicing Christian, but I am still a practicing Swiss, and have been for more than seven decades now. Being Swiss brings some advantages, for instance a passport. After World War II, in a Europe destroyed by war, it was quite comfortable to carry a Swiss passport when confronted with currency regulations and visas. The Swiss passport opened borders. Until one day I lost my illusions about my Swiss passport. It happened in the United States, where I was writer in residence at the USC in Los Angeles.

  • SWITZERLAND Andreas Tunger-Zanetti Introduction
    SWITZERLAND Andreas Tunger-Zanetti1 Introduction “Swiss feel threatened by Islam” was the headline of the Sunday tabloid newspaper Sonntags-Blick on 27 August 2017.2 The claim was supported by a survey and can be seen as expressing in a nutshell a widespread perception in Switzerland. A much more nuanced picture was shown a few days earlier by the Religionsmonitor, a much more comprehensive survey by the German Bertelsmann Foundation, aptly condensed into the title “Integrated, but not accepted?”3 While the article under the first headline explicitly makes reference to unacceptable speeches in some mosques and to the radicalisation of young Muslims, the second expresses a broader range of issues. For Muslims and Islam in Switzerland, the year 2017 was marked by a constant oscillation between these two poles of a gloomy picture prevalent in media reporting, on the one hand, and an inconspicuous normality, on the other. The debate on “radicalisation”, supposed hate speech and Islamist activities, was stoked by a few new cases, such as that of a Libyan imam in Biel-Bienne. Regularly, proposals in the political debate asking, for example, for a stricter control of imams and the financing of mosques, are quick to follow, and with this the “burqa ban initiative” was successfully launched. The combination of a representative 1 Andreas Tunger-Zanetti is the coordinator of the Centre for Research on Religion at the University of Lucerne. 2 Faki, Sermîn, and Florian Blumer, “Schweizer fühlen sich vom Islam bedroht”, Sonntagsblick, 27 August 2017, pp. 2-3. 3 Halm, Dirk, and Martina Sauer, Muslime in Europa: integriert, aber nicht akzeptiert?

  • The Arab Presence in France and Switzerland in the 10Th Century*
    THE ARAB PRESENCE IN FRANCE AND SWITZERLAND IN THE 10TH CENTURY* BY KEES VERSTEEGH URING the entire 10th century the history of the South of France D was dominated by large groups of Arabs, who controlled the whole area of the French and the Swiss Alps from a vantage point at the coast near Saint-Tropez. The sources available for this period-mostly Latin sources-do not call these invaders Arabs, but they speak of Saracenes or Agarenes, sometimes of Moors or even fusci « Blacks» or pagani ((Heathen))'. The presence of Saracenes in the Provence and in the neighbouring areas is part of the expansion from the South that the Arabs had initiated in 711, when Tdriq invaded Spain from North-Africa. From Spain the Arab conquerors tried several times to break through into the empire of the Franks by way of the Pyrenees. The Frankish armies succeeded in repulsing the Arab armies-this is mostly associated with the relatively minor skirmishes of Poitiers and Tours, 732- and as a result the conquista North of the Pyrenees came to a stand- still. From now on the Arab presence remained restricted to the * A preliminary version of this article was presented as a paper at the 13th Con- gress of the Union Européenne d'Arabisants et d'Islamisants at Venice (September 30, 1986); a popularized version has appeared in the review al-Azmina («al-�Arabfi žib�lal-Alp», 7 (1987) 26-30).
