The Rivate Sphere

Even a road sign in Switzerland does need a rivate sphere. And what one does in one’s rivate sphere is of nobody’s business. And one does one’s job properly as this sign here, signalling a rivate parking rea, and one does demand (as this sign here) a neatly cut hedge to do this job properly, since, as I have said, the reas of rivacy are in re-definition right now round the globe. Thus: What we see here is not only a road sign. First of all: we see also a metaphor of Swissness. Which does, by the way, refer to both: to the neatly cut hedge, cut according to the rules on how hedges have to be cut, but also to the rea of rivacy, that one does dispose of within a free country, built on strong liberal traditions.
And what might a road sign in Switzerland do, in his rivate sphere? Well, I might have an inkling about that. And I may reveal here that this particular road sign, in its spare time, does work on a book on the cultural conflicts of our time, among them the conflict about defending, winning back and re-claiming rivacy. Envisioned title: Signs of the Time.
