In May 1911, the first International Hygiene Exhibition opened its doors in Dresden. Plenty of objects relevant to the field of hygiene were found in various halls on the spacious showground. In addition, 30 national pavilions were built along an avenue. One of these pavilions was the «Schwyzer Hus», the Swiss pavilion. At the beginning of the twentieth century Swiss representatives were part of an international scientific network. They collaborated to develop what became known as scientific hygiene. This paper analyses the planning, realisation and reception of the Swiss pavilion. I want to show how the Swiss experts of hygiene positioned themselves among the other nations and how they worked to establish a «Swiss hygiene». [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Switzerland, political actors do not only present their positions in the context of election campaigns, but they also reach out for voter support in the context of referendums and popular initiatives. This happens about four times a year. They do so by using their own means (own media), through the media coverage (free media) or through their political advertising (paid media). In this paper we analyze the character, the initiators of political advertisements and the arguments presented by them. Our sample consists of 375 issues of newspapers in the Swiss canton of Zurich. We found 107 campaign advertisements for three different issue-votes in the direct democratic vote on May 17, 2009. What had been discovered with regard to media coverage taking place during the weeks before the day of the direct democratic vote, our paper also confirms in the context of political advertising. The campaign only takes place about four weeks before the voting day. Our results show that political actors combine their financial means and join ad-hoc campaign committees to plan and execute paid media- contrary to the ordinary news reporting (free media), which they use to present themselves as individual politicians, parties or organizations. Furthermore, advertisements are personalized and regionalized with well-known political representatives. Depending on the campaign issue, the targeting can be even more detailed.

The paper presents the findings of a quantitative investigation into the major working fields of German, Austrian, and Swiss communication professionals. We build upon previous work done in roles research but follow a grounded approach in using an explorative cluster analysis on a sample of 340 communicators. We identify fives typologies into which the working fields of communication practitioners in these countries can be categorized: Strategists, Public Affairs Officers, Internal Communicators, Investor Relations Officers and Brand Officers. These profiles are distinctively different in terms of education, salary, and career as well as job satisfaction and show the various roles communication practitioners take as well as their integration within organizations.

Information on several papers discussed at the first convention of the textile industry societies SVTC and SVT "Forum für die textile Kette, held October 24, 2007 is presented. Topics include ultra violet protective clothing, energy efficiency in the textile industry, and technological innovations in the dyeing industry.

This paper presents an analysis of the field of communication in Switzerland, considering at the same time institutional and organizational aspects, as well as the research subjects and domains of researchers and research groups active under the label of communication. We consider the field of communication as a typical case of a "divergent" domain (Becher & Trowler 2001) characterized by a varying degree of diversity concerning theoretical foundations, research subjects, social structure, organization and publication activities. Our objective is thus to relate these dimensions of diversity and to reproduce a synthetic map of the field displaying the main lines of division. To this aim, we combine different sources: an analysis of organizational structures using documents and website searches; an investigation of the professors' backgrounds and careers through the analysis of CVs, and, finally, a study of the publication activities in the field, combining ISI data and exploration of a journal corpus. Our study shows that Swiss communication sciences have to be considered rather as the aggregation of distinct communities - working on largely separated topics and more integrated with the researchers' original and adjacent communities than with the rest of the country - than as a coherent field and that the divide is more based on language borders than on different approaches or research themes. However, there are several initiatives aiming at the emergence of a common identity of the field at a national level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper analyses the beginning of a Swiss population policy at the intersection of federal, cantonal and non-governmental interests in the twenties and thirties. During World War One, the Federal Council founded the Swiss Foreign Police, a special police unit which formed part of the immigration office. This new police unit was the first federal institution which followed a population policy. In the case of immigration and naturalisation the authorities brought to life a strict population-control. Their point of view was influenced by the discourse about the threat of foreigners ("Überfremdung"), the catchphrase during the decade after World War One. While they were trying to exclude the "unwanted people" they also encouraged the discrimination of women. At the same time several private associations and some cantons demanded a social policy for families with the aim to raise the birth rate. Because the Swiss federalism was also very strong between the World Wars a population policy under helvetic conditions there was developing: exclusion against outside, discrimination of women inside.

Between 1750 and 1850 a profound transformation was taking place in European societies, the consequences of which have been underestimated for a long time. The transformation does not consist in families retreating to a newly invented "privacy", as it has been assumed usually. On the contrary, the many and diverse relations that connected families with kin were intensified. As David W. Sabean has suggested several years ago, one can consider the 19th century as the "hot" phase of kinship-relations. The present paper aims at illuminating some aspects of this "intensification of kinship" by presenting a micro-historical analysis of Vouvry, a small village in Valais (Switzerland) between 1650 and 1850. Three family histories concerning different social groups are studied. The analysis shows how dense "fields of kinship" were constructed in different strata through marriage alliances as well as through godparenthood and other social relations, and that they were meant to secure the solidarity between different households and families during the unstable economic periods since the middle of the 1760s.
