Here And There - Remarks On Daily Life, Hans Banziger, Marianne Burkhard Jun 1985

Here And There - Remarks On Daily Life, Hans Banziger, Marianne Burkhard

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Banziger's book College-Erinnerungen is a collection of short pieces written between 1967 and 1979 and published first in the periodical Schweizer Monatshefte. Here he describes and comments on a wide variety of phenomena he encountered in his daily life at Bryn Mawr. There are notes about nature and academic procedures, about political events and difficulties with language, about schools and churches. The thread connecting all these details of the old and the new country is a keen interest in human behavior and its inherent attitudes as well as the attempt to show that reality will always surpass our images and …

The Effects Of Religious Affiliation And Attendance On Illicit Sexual Behavior And Substance Abuse, Thomas W. Zane Apr 1985

The Effects Of Religious Affiliation And Attendance On Illicit Sexual Behavior And Substance Abuse, Thomas W. Zane

Theses and Dissertations

A sample of 7724 college students in Washington and Utah was selected to study the relationships of religious activity and religious affiliation to illicit sexual behaviors, use of marijuana, and getting drunk. For all religious affiliations (except for the Jews), there were significant correlations between church activity and the measured illicit behaviors. LDS rates of behavior were significantly lower at <.001 for the five illicit behaviors. Two factor analyses were calculated to determine which sexual behaviors would load on a single factor and which substances would load on another factor. Extramarital coitus, heavy petting, and passionate kissing formed the first "sexual" factor. The use of beer, liquor, and marijuana combined with the behavior getting drunk to form the "substance-abuse" factor. A canonical analysis reported a moderate relationship with a canonical coefficient of .534 between the two factors. A discriminant analysis based on each subjects' religious affiliation and activity level yielded a 70-80 percent correct classification percentage.

Book Review: The Essence Of Swissness: A Special Issue Of The Times Literary Supplement, Leo Schelbert Feb 1985

Book Review: The Essence Of Swissness: A Special Issue Of The Times Literary Supplement, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The Friday, December 7, 1984, issue of the London Times Literary Supplement was devoted in good part to works about Switzerland and its unique literary and historical traditions. It opens with a challenging essay by George Steiner who raises the question "What is Swiss?" "The Writer may speak against the grain," he cautions, "even when he bears close witness. Ten years are, as I have found, too short a time in which to get to know the palimpsest of Genevan society, let alone those of Switzerland." Yet he offers courageously and with much insight his "impressions as to the nature …

Book Review: Des Suisses Pas Comme Les Autres Et Au Bout De La Terre, Marianne Burkhard Feb 1985

Book Review: Des Suisses Pas Comme Les Autres Et Au Bout De La Terre, Marianne Burkhard

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

For several months, five French-Swiss journalists travelled in other continents to meet and interview Swiss emigrants, to see how they lived and to explore their views on Switzerland and their emigration. Deliberately, the reporters chose countries far away from Europe, i.e. the United States, the Republic of South Africa, Singapore, Brazil, Argentina, and Australia. As their enterprise was not designed to be either scholarly or encyclopedic, the authors interweave impressions and information, historical facts and personal anecdotes. The result is a book that is fascinating to read as it offers vivid descriptions of places "au bout de la terre" and …


Swiss Mercenaries In The Service Of The British Crown: The War Of 1812, Ivor C.E. Luethy Feb 1985

Swiss Mercenaries In The Service Of The British Crown: The War Of 1812, Ivor C.E. Luethy

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

During the War of 1812, Swiss mercenaries were part of the British army which fought against the American forces. The most important figure among these soldiers in the service of the British Crown was undoubtedly Sir George Prevost, Governor-General and military commander of British North America from 1811-1815. He was a descendant of a prominent Geneva family, several members of which had attained high ranks in the British forces; Augustin Prevost, for example, Sir George's father became Major-General under General Wolfe. Augustin Prevost had also been a friend of Frederick Haldimand, Governor-General of Canada during the American Revolution.

Book Review: One Small Lifetime, Leo Schelbert Feb 1985

Book Review: One Small Lifetime, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

To do justice to this moving memoir is less than easy. It presents the story of two intertwined lives, that of Amalia Thurkauf-Braun who was born in the 1880s and that of her son Ernst Albert, born in 1907 at Liestal, the capital of Canton Basel-Land, in Switzerland. The lives of Ernst's father Emil Thurkauf, in contrast, and of Ernst 's three siblings come only occasionally into view from the perspective of Amalia Thurkauf's reports or of her son's autobiographical reminiscences. Both records are touching documents that tell of unusual endurance, of sincere faith, and of incredible capacity for work. …


Deception And Distance In Béroul's Tristan: A Reconsideration, Norris J. Lacy Jan 1985

Deception And Distance In Béroul's Tristan: A Reconsideration, Norris J. Lacy

Quidditas

Some years ago, I suggested that the irony and the pervasive equivocations that characterize the text of Béroul's Tristan have the effect of precluding, on the narrator's part, an implicit ethical endorsement of the characters. Although that is still my view, I went on, perhaps too incautiously, to question Béroul's narrative reliability. Considering the importance of such matters for our understanding of Béroul's art, it is not inappropriate to reconsider this problem. In fact, I think it reasonable now to begin with the assertion that, although his work is full of ambiguities, ironies, and tricks, Béroul's narrator never deceives his …


The Fiction Of The "Livre" In Robert De Boron's Merlin, Stephen Maddux Jan 1985

The Fiction Of The "Livre" In Robert De Boron's Merlin, Stephen Maddux

Quidditas

Robert de Baron, thought to have been responsible for changing Chrétien's graal into a Christian relic and his tale of Perceval into a cycle, was also an innovator when it came to the convention of the bookish source for his story. Marie de France and Chrétien both were careful to supply their poems with some kind of external authority, which was often book-like, if not in fact always a written text. Chrétien twice refers to actual books; Marie de France's sources were presumably all oral, but she treats them as though they were written, that is, deserving the same treatment …
