Abstract
The following paper seeks to address the question of whether or not Fribourg and the other Swiss cantons are able to maintain a cantonal identity in the increasingly globalized political system and what methods are used for this identity preservation. This “reproduction of identity” in the cantonal system (also referred to as “cultural reproduction”) will be the focus of my thesis. After looking at the literature on identity formation, familiarizing myself with the history of Switzerland, the cantonal system, and the canton of Fribourg, and finally collecting and analyzing data on identity formation practices in the guise of festivals, I believe it is safe to reach the conclusion that cantonal identity is still strong in Fribourg.
