Instructor(s): H. Rindisbacher

Rich, Pretty, and Orderly? – What Makes Switzerland Tick. The doughnut hole of Europe - in the middle but largely unfamiliar. This cultural studies course fills the knowledge gap about Switzerland through a comprehensive account of the country’s role in the European and global cultural and political frameworks via (literary) texts, films, historical and economic sources and indepth analysis of this successful multicultural county’s political system, its neutrality and significant international presence.
