Occasional Papers in Swiss Studies
The Centre for Swiss Cultural Studies in the Department of Modem Languages at
the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow (GB) was set up in 1996, formalising a
long tradition of publication, research and teaching irr Swiss studies there. As part of
the expansion of activities in publishing and in creating outlets for scholarly work, it
was decided to launch a series, Occasional Papers in Swiss Studies. lt is envisaged
that each volume of the series, which will appear at intervals of about a year, will
bring together approximately six essays relating to a single theme and written by
scholars in the field of Swiss studies. lt is the aim of the editors to select themes
which have a contemporary dimension and, whilst the majority of the essays will
have a literary focus, each number will contain at least one essay by a scholar in a
discipline such as history or cultural studies. lt is hoped that the series will both
present aspects of Swiss culture and contribute to general debate on matters Swiss.
