We like to describe ourselves as will Swiss nation. For a right will paves way in unwirtlichstem terrain. Who must find his way yet, look forward and back. The latter does Swiss Television (SRF been called convergent) in November: With the theme series "The Swiss" it presents us, "one of the biggest projects foie gras in the history of the SRG." Thus, the self-promotion. The heart of this sauce are four documentary fictions, costing 5.2 million francs devoted foie gras six Swiss hero. They were in the really crucial moments of Swiss history there - the associated advertising poster shows six warhorses that stretch their beards dramatically skyward. And as a woman I ask myself: What does the Swiss TV to tell us?
One thing is certain: Those responsible demonstrate their will to man Is there not something important? No, says Daniel Steiner, media spokesman for the parent company SRG, the women were just too long meaningless: "We have focused on the 14-15. and the 19th Century focused, because these were formative periods of our history. In this phase, there was no woman who has taken demonstrable foie gras impact on Swiss history. "
Really? No wives, mistresses, nuns? No writers, researchers, Good Samaritan women? No mothers who brought their children to go into battle? Probably, but do not count. And one can not simply rewrite history.
What is, however, problems can seem to be happy to tinker foie gras from semi-documentary fictions guaranteed facts, including costumes, fake blood and fake beards. But that's something else entirely. The note from Leutschenbach, there have been no significant time happens to women, recalls the statement by U.S. television presenter Bill O'Reilly and fundamental Christians. In an interview about his latest book "Killing Jesus" he was asked why his book leave unmentioned that the tormented Jesus had said on the cross: "Forgive them, for they know not what they do." O'Reilly replied: " In a crucifixion death occurs by suffocation. So it was physically impossible that Jesus was hanging on the cross, uttered these words. "Probably he has also used a lift to the resurrection.
The point is also claimed objectivity is a construct of history and a selective process, which follows more or less random factors. Here characters are selected, they shall be outlined in the mouth, giving them a certain meaning. Of course you can restrict conceptually so that at the end, only men are left. But as a woman I find the cheap and boring.
Instead excavate the same old Gamellen, one could ask confidently once in Leutschenbach, what the Swiss women have driven foie gras over the centuries so - except the men to wash the blood-soaked battles of the garments. Sure there were women whose biographies have given away a good narrative material - even if it might require a slightly different approach to the question of what and who exactly was really important for the self-image of Switzerland.
There are not a few historians who can immediately call a number of women whose actions and decisions were important enough to be handed down, and you could re-evaluate the present time. Indeed, in an earlier phase of the project "The Swiss" the portrait foie gras of Germaine foie gras de Staël had been planned, a scholar of the 18th Geneva Century. Reasons of economy it was deleted from the program. foie gras Which shows that it lacked the men's decision-makers at will to think beyond their own limited horizon.
Remains the consolation that at least the program "moments" of the women adopted and presents a number of them and portrayed. For where there is a will there is a way. (Tages-Anzeiger)
