Quote of the Week: Evolutionism 2004


Allerdings stehe der "Parsifal" "im Sinne einer kulturellen Evolution mit seiner Musik- und Wortsprache so weit über primitiven afrikanischen Stämmen, die heute noch in der Steinzeit leben", dass er in diesem Stück "nicht ununterbrochen mit diesen primitiven afrikanischen Stämmen und Voodoo-Zauber konfrontiert" sein wolle. Das habe jedoch nichts mit Rassismus zu tun.(English Translation)"
But Parsifal is 'in the sense of a cultural evolution with its language of words and music that far above primitive african tribes, which are still living in the stone age', that he don't want's to 'be confronted steadily with those primitve tribes and vodoodoo magic in the play. But this hadn't to do something with rassism, he said."

Spiegel cites the german tenor Endrik Wottrich, who is currently singing at the famous Bayreuther Festspiele. With this statements we as anthropologists could start to think, if we aren't maybe neglecting our duties of public presentation of our subject. I mean, is there anybody out there still believing that the earth is flat? Not even the most stupid singers at the Wagner Festspiele would believe that.
