Powered by JRank Countries and Their Cultures Countries and Their Cultures Sa-Th S WITZERLAND C ULTURE N AME Swiss A LTERNATIVE N AMES Schweiz (German), Suisse (French), Svizzera (Italian), Svizzra (Romansh) O RIENTATION Identification. B.C. Switzerland is a federation of twenty-six states called cantons (six are considered half cantons). There are four linguistic regions: German-speaking (in the north, center, and east), French-speaking (in the west), Italian-speaking (in the south), and Romansh-speaking (a small area in the southeast). This diversity makes the question of a national culture a recurring issue. Location and Geography. Covering 15,950 square miles (41,290 square kilometers), Switzerland is a transition point between northern and southern Europe and between Germanic and Latin cultures. The physical environment is characterized by a chain of mountains (the Jura), a densely urbanized plateau, and the Alps range, which forms a barrier to the south. The capital, Bern, is in the center of the country. It was chosen over Zurich and Lucerne because of its proximity to the French-speaking region. It is also the capital of the German-speaking canton of Bern, which includes a French-speaking district. Bern had 127,469 inhabitants in 1996, whereas Zurich, the economic capital, had 343,869.

Switzerland Europe CULTURE Switzerland may not rank foremost among the centres of European culture, the country nevertheless can boast of an impressive list of contributors to the arts and sciences. On the one hand, because of limited opportunities at home, some of Switzerland's creative minds have chosen to live elsewhere. This has been especially true of architects. On the other hand, Switzerland's traditional neutrality and its laws of political asylum have made the country a magnet for many creative persons during times of unrest or war in Europe. The mid-19th century was such a period, as were the 1930s and '40s, when the rise of fascism caused a number of German, Austrian, and Italian writers such as Thomas Mann, Stefan George, and Ignazio Silone to seek harbour in Switzerland. Swiss culture has contributed notably to literature, art, and music. It is an amalgam of the German, French, and Italian cultures embodied in the Swiss linguistic regions; however, it is separated from these parent cultures, for example, by Swiss dialects and cultural cross-pollination. From early times Switzerland has been exposed to many foreign influences, and as early as the Middle Ages the country had achieved a high cultural level. Carolingian culture, particularly painting and Romanesque architecture, flourished, and the Saint Gall monastery was a brilliant center of Western culture. Since then most European cultural trends, such as humanism and the Reformation, have been assimilated. Calvin and Huldreich Zwingli.

Although, for example, Italian-speaking Canton Ticino is cut off from its German-speaking neighbours by the Alps, and in Canton Fribourg/Freiburg, the German and French speaking parts are divided by the river Sarine/Saane, in other cases bilingual cities - like Biel/Bienne in Canton Bern, or Siders/Sierre in Canton Valais - actually straddle the dividing line. Many people feel a greater solidarity with the church they belong rather than the language they speak. This is why, for example, the Protestant areas of the French speaking Jura opted not to join their Roman Catholic counterparts in forming a
