1. Aufl. Hrsg. von: Cynthia Gavranic / Sprache: Deutsch, Englisch / Ist die Schweiz eine Insel der Glückseligen oder ein Paradies mit Rissen? Wie wird der Begriff «Schweiz» konnotiert? Die Schweizer Bildwelten in Plakaten für Tourismus, Schokolade, Milchprodukte, Uhren oder Bankenwesen spiegeln den Zeitgeist wider und verweisen auf gesellschaftliche Projektionen und Sehnsüchte. - Die Publikation vereint prägende Werbebeispiele von 1900 bis heute zu einem visuellen Dialog. Dieser untersucht einerseits, wie das Bild der Schweiz in der Werbung erscheint und andererseits, wie es zum Image transformiert wird.
