Der Band thematisiert sowohl typisch schweizerische als auch allgemeingultige Tabus. Er zeigt auf, dass sie sich im standigen Wandel befinden und sich die zu bestimmten Zeiten geltenden Tabuzonen standig verschieben.


This volume brings together essays on a variety of both universal and specifically Swiss taboo zones and also on breaches of taboo which feature in works of German-Swiss literature. Literary, political, social, sexual, moral and religious taboos are discussed. Existing taboo zones are shown to displace themselves at certain times and taboos to be in a constant state of flux. The essays demonstrate that art has the courage and the subversive force to challenge accepted taboos and by creating breaches of taboo to promote reflection on unprejudiced thought and action.
