Max Frisch - Die Schweiz als Heimat? (Rede)

In dieser Dankesrede zur Verleihung des Schillerpreises 1974 setzt sich Max Frisch ebenso eloquent wie kritisch mit der eigenen Herkunft auseinander. Der Schriftsteller spricht über Fremdenfeindlichkeit und die nötige Öffnung des Landes nach aussen. Frisch zeigt sich einmal mehr als "kritischer Patriot", als einer der unerbittlichsten Kritiker der Schweiz (12. Januar 1974).

Abgesehen vom Redeinhalt dem ich gaenzlich zustimme als entflohener Schweizer, muss ich mich nicht ueber Hochdeutsch-Sprachgebrauch und dessen Aussprache schaemen. Moege Max Frisch in seeligem Frieden ruhen!

Der Mensch hatte Heimat in & durch SPRACHE.

Schiller Stiftung? I also feel a lot of anger. What a priest! And IF Blocher would not have done such a fantastic job on one side, Switzerland would give the money to the once they were running from in 1291. Max vs. Kurt tells the story. How could Max choose to stay? Was it the lifestyle? Or was it the feeling of security? Or did he need to feel that pain in order to write books about it? And why do I have the impression that he loves to hear himself talking?

[@SusanneWuthrich]

You make very nice assumptions. All I did was asking questions and share some facts in order for you to start thinking independantly. Instead you are trying to tell me how I feel. Do you really think I would waste my time making such a statement if I could not back it up? So stop your teaching behaviour, by trying to tell me how I shoud tick. So if you are interested to have a decent dialoge, please be my guest, but please come DOWN to my level first.

[@SusanneWuthrich]

I know, he is a great guy. He is also so much like my father. But if people look at that video today, we can see that we became a lot more sensitive towards other peoples feelings. Not mine, I am cold as ice when I am working. So the body language and the smoking tells us who is in defence and who is bringing his few points across. That means besides the great info, it is only a duality and nothing more then a tennis match. So yes, this video is a fantastic start to see why so many angry people write or preach and why fearfull people go into politics or choose a career in the private sector. So yes, WE Swiss are in a perfect balance of anger/love and fear/love. Thats why we can still keep up with the rest of the world. So this is a good thing, don't you think?

[@SusanneWuthrich]

I hope you don't get offended but I read a lot of negative words. This is nothing else but finding excuses of what is. I call it the perfect staganation of evolution. Wouldn't it be smarter to look for the people who can bring solutions? That we Swiss know it all is an old hat. What you are trying to explain to me now, I already knew when I was a teenager, because my family says the same like you. Or why do you think I did everything I could to escape the Swiss energy? But I must say, I needed to leave to learn English first, before I was able to see what we do to each other.

[@SusanneWuthrich]

You are explaining yourself from the beginning. (Selfdefence) One good excuse is: "We don't have to keep up with the rest of the world" how negative is that? The fact is we are ahead of the rest of the world. But only in knowledge and lifestyle. ( Middle class) And this is only because our Grandparents and Parents worked their ass off all day every day. So yes, of course we, our generation wanted more then that. But in the mean time we learned the game and realized, that a career in Switzerland has it's price. Some became snobs and other battle with cancer or humiliation. Or why do you think we have the highest suicide rate in children and the most burn outs already around 40? So yes, my generation is sicker and richer then the one before. And yes, keeping ourselfs happy while dreaming of the weekend and the holdiays is a great way of life, don't you think? It is also funny to read, that you are trying to intimidate me with smoking dope. Have you ever studied how many zombies walk around on anty depressives? or how many females are drinking in order to keep a balance?

[@SusanneWuthrich]

***** Nothing matters, if we don't wont it to matter, I would never attack this man in person. But I remember attacking my father just by sharing my opinion. So yes, Max Frisch was very much respected in our houshold I grew up. So why do you think he was never interested in becoming a politition?

[@HansFlamme]

Jajaaa wenn ein CIA Agent das sagt, dann muss er wohl recht haben wss?

[@barfuss2007]
