swissnex’s Deputy Consul Andreas Rufer presented an overview of the life of Frisch, who is regarded as one of the most famous contemporary Swiss playwright and novelist. Frisch is regarded as highly representative of German-language literature after World War II. Not many among the audience knew that Frisch studied architecture at the ETH Zurich and constructed a public swimming pool right in the middle of Zurich before he went into professional writing. Prof. Kilcher gave a lecture on the Fear of Imagery versus Passionate Writing – The Poetics, Politics and Anthropology of Narration according to Max Frisch. Kilcher argued in his lecture, among other issues, whether images are freer than words. He analyzed some paragraphs from Frisch’s novels like I’m Stiller, Andorra, Gantenbein, and others. Many questions were answered by Prof. Kilcher during the reception that followed the official part of this literary and philosophical evening. |
