Pursuing Freedom: Simone De Beauvoir And Hannah Arendt, Rita A. Gardiner

Women's Studies and Feminist Research Publications

How do we judge what is right while, at the same time, respect the freedom of others? In considering this question, I bring Simone de Beauvoir and Hannah Arendt into dialogue to better understand how the pursuit of freedom necessitates a willingness to judge others. In my discussion, I explore how these writers treat the themes of ambiguity, oppression, and revolution. By comparing how they relates these themes to freedom, we see how liberty is interconnected with personal, accountability and a willingness to question our beliefs

L'Escalade Of 1602: History, Myth, And Commemoration, Jill Fehleison

Swiss American Historical Society Review

L'Escalade, the Duke of Savoy's failed attack against Geneva in December 1602, is to the annals of this city not unlike the Fourth of July is to the popular culture of the United States. The colorful narrative of L'Escalade has all the necessary ingredients for a historical event to become mythical: heroes, villains, deception, and success. There is a universal appeal to a story about ordinary citizens triumphing over a larger invading army. The brazenness of the attack is an enduring image that has proven highly malleable for poets, preachers, and politicians, and L'Escalade 's celebration has continued through the …

Alpine Footballers In The New World: Swiss Influence On Soccer In The United States, Robert Sherwood

Swiss American Historical Society Review

When one thinks of Swiss sports, soccer is not the first to come to mind. Images of Roger Federer or Martina Hingis holding aloft a Grand Slam of tennis trophy cross the mind or perhaps Fabian Cancellara, the most dominant Time Trialist in the professional cycling peleton today. Maybe Simmon Amman, the Swiss ski jumper who was dubbed "Swiss Miss" by Bob Costas of NBC Sports during the Winter Olympics where he was so successful. It is even possible that some will say one of the notable skiers from the Alpine nation, Dider Couche, or Carlos Janka to name only …

From No Man's Land To The Mosaic Floor: An Autobiographical Sketch Of A "Secunda'', Lorena Gulino

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Biography doesn't have to follow the time line-I know that as a cultural anthropologist. And I also know that we read the past through the lens of the present and that its construction is but one version of possible realities having the imprint of personal vision. Understanding is shaped further by the moment and formed by social surroundings. An anecdote will highlight these opening thoughts.

Leaving The Alps For The Plains: A Brief Narrative Of A Swiss Family's Migration To Texas, Barbara Ozun

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Cows, cheese, Swiss Army knives, mountains, and beautiful lakes are what people think of when they think Switzerland. Others talk about the military and the fact that every man is allowed-not encouraged-to own a gun and regularly shoot it at targets ... Still others marvel that a country so small could function so well with four official languages. Currently, cocktail party talk seems to center around the prescience of Switzerland's decision not to be part of the Eurozane-that is, if the person I am talking with can distinguish .Switzerland from Sweden! I am often asked about Switzerland and how my …

Greentree, David, And David Campbell, Napoleon's Swiss Troops, Jeff Washburn

Swiss American Historical Society Review

In Napoleon's Swiss Troops, authors David Greentree and David Campbell create a richly detailed monograph concerning Swiss soldiers who fought for Napoleon. The Swiss were considered elite units in Napoleon's armies and "would be often asked to save the day for the French troops alongside whom they fought" (p. 6). Utilizing exceptional artwork concerning the dress and attire of the Swiss as well as detailed graphs and explanations concerning the evolution and size of the Swiss contingency, Greentree and Campbell construct a robust fact book concerning the Swiss units within the Napoleonic military.

Being [T]Here, Dustin B. Smith

English Faculty Publications

When you awoke from the dream, in your early thirties, you knew, as you’ve never known anything else in all your seventy-plus years, that what you’d found was real. The dream began with you sitting in a church, head bowed in prayer. Your eyes opened slowly, and you noticed that you were wearing brilliantly colored, beaded moccasins. You stood abruptly, pushed open the mahogany gate that separated the pew from the center aisle of the church, and began to run. The dream then proposed a seemingly endless and entirely quotidian set of difficulties in The City, and led eventually to …

Religion: A Mosaic, Louis J. Hammann

Gettysburg College Faculty Books

Can we say of Religion what the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy said of Economics: It is not one homogeneous enterprise? If so, then what is religion as a plural phenomenon? Should we understand religious traditions as carriers of revealed truth in the current age of empirical science? Or should we appreciate the power of the human imagination to satisfy our curiosity? Can human ingenuity reconcile the psychological and historical biases of religious traditions? Can we see them as both individual and communal realities? I propose to understand religious traditions under the rubric of a metaphor. They are mosaics, subtle designs …

Mary Ann Hafen, Recollections Of A Handcart Pioneer Of 1860: A Woman's Life On The Mormon Frontier, Kurt Winkler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

The reissuing of Mary Ann Stucki [Stücki] Hafen's classic account by a Swiss-American pioneer with an introduction by Donna Toland Smart is most welcome. This is the seventh reprinting of the book, which was first published in 1938 and was initially meant only as a record for the author's family, but it has been widely praised as one of the most important accounts of the Mormon migration and early settlement.

David Birmingham, Switzerland: A Village History, William P. Kladky Ph.D.

Swiss American Historical Society Review

This vividly interesting book is both a history of Switzerland and an intensive case study of one village. Of the nation's many boroughs, the author understandably selected Château-d'Oex, his childhood home. Château-d'Oex, 2010 population 3,231, is in the Canton of Vaud in the upper Saane valley, roughly 32km./20 miles east of Lake Geneva. While the author does not claim the village to be scientifically typical, its trials and victories are Swiss and fairly serve as a national microcosm. The author's supple prose is well served by sixteen pages of excellent pictures and illustrations.

David H. Sutton, Helvetia: The History Of A Swiss Village In The Mountains Of West Virginia, Christopher Tucker

Swiss American Historical Society Review

In his impressive book Helvetia: The History of a Swiss Village in the Mountains of West Virginia, David H. Sutton presents a candid and vivid history of a solitary American community and connects it to the larger themes, movements, and events of the nation as a whole. This is above all a local history, but the success of the work lies in Sutton's depiction of how Helvetia and its residents-since its inception - responded to important national events. The immigration boom of the nineteenth century, World War I, and the rise of technology in the twentieth century ~.11 ~make …

From Purrysburg To Prosperity On The Southern Frontier: Francis Pelot Of South Carolina, 1720-177 4, Daniel J. Tortora

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Jonas Pelot, a master shoemaker in his late forties, embarked on a new adventure at an age when many men entered the twilight of their lives. For more than three hundred years, the Pelot family had lived in La Neuveville, a French-speaking medieval village in the canton of Bern. But Pelot wished to escape the political tumult that had disrupted community life and business in his small town. Citizens charged local government officials with corruption. Though Jonas Pelot had nothing to do with the controversy, one of the accused was a personal friend. At the same time, the promises of …
