Stories of Home: Dominant National Narratives in Switzerland

Stories of Home: Dominant National Narratives in Switzerland

The study “Stories of Home” aims to gain in-depth insights into dominant national narratives in Switzerland and their use in political communication. Commissioned by Pro Futuris, the study was conducted by five students at the Institute of Political Science at the University of Zurich as part of a “capstone” course. For the purpose of this analysis, the research institute Sotomo created a comprehensive and novel corpus of over 14,000 political documents authored by various Swiss political actors.
