  • Koloniale Kämpfe Am Himalaya
    234 Kolonialität und Geschlecht im 20. Jahrhundert in französische Netzwerke integriert war, macht ihn zu einem Schweizer, der im internationalen Kontext bestehen kann.153 Daher ist es kein Zufall, dass die Geschichte des marokkanischen Gutshofs die Berichterstattung zu jener Verhandlung rahmt, welche die Everest-Expedition von 1952 de- finitiv zu einer ›Schweizerischen‹ Unternehmung machen sollte: Unter dem Titel »Die Verantwortung für die Führung ist unteilbar« berichtet der Artikel vom Beschluss der Schweizer, nach erfolglosen Verhandlun- gen mit britischen Partnern über eine gemeinsame Unternehmung die Expedition im Alleingang durchzuführen – eine Entscheidung, von der gleich noch die Rede sein wird. KOLONIALE KÄMPFE AM HIMALAYA Weltweit gibt es 14 Berggipfel, die über 8.000 Meter hoch sind. Sie alle lie- gen im Himalayagebirge. Im Jahre 1950 erreichte eine französische Expe- dition erstmals den Gipfel eines Achttausenders, der Annapurna. 14 Jahre später fand mit der Besteigung des Shishapangma im Jahre 1964 durch eine chinesische Expedition das Wettrennen um die Erstbesteigung der höchsten Gipfel der Welt seinen Abschluss. Dazwischen liegt das, was man in Anlehnung an das ›Goldene Zeitalter des Alpinismus‹ hundert Jahre zuvor das ›Goldene Zeitalter des Himalaya-Bergsteigens‹ nennen könnte. Schweizer Expeditionen gelang es, zwei der 14 Achttausender- Gipfel als erste zu erreichen: den Lhotse im Jahre 1956 und den Dhaulagi- ri im Jahre 1960. Die Aufbruchsstimmung dieser Jahre und die symboli- sche Bedeutung des Bergsteigens lässt sich unschwer daran ablesen, dass der höchste Berg der Welt, der Mount Everest, als ›dritter Pol‹ bezeichnet wurde.154 Diese Bezeichnung nimmt Bezug auf die Bedeutung der Arktis und Antarktis, die seit Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts als die größten verblie- benen unentdeckten Räume auf der Landkarte gegolten hatten.155 153 | Auf den Versuch, Wyss-Dunant als Bestandteil einer kosmopolitischen Gesellschaft darzustellen, deutet auch die Autorschaft des Berichts hin: Er wurde vom bekannten Fotografen und Reisereporter Paul Almásy verfasst.

    X. KALAUPAPA SETTLEMENT REVITALIZATION, 1931-1938 A. Creation of Board of Hospitals and Settlement BY 1929 conditions at Kalaupapa were sti I I considered unsatisfactory. Governor Lawrence M. Judd of the Territory of Hawaii appointed an Advisory Commission on Leprosy to investigate the situation, study the status of the leprosy control program in Hawaii, and make suggestions for improvement. The resulting report made several specific recommendations : (1) establishment of a hospital for the treatment of leprosy patients in or near a medical center; (2) no more compulsory segregation of patients at Kalaupapa (the effect of banning punitive segregation was to eliminate the stigma of the settlement as a penal institution); (3) more research on susceptibility to the disease; and most important, (4) development of a program of social welfare, that would increase the happiness of the patients and their families. The commission also offered a plan for the reorganization of leprosy affairs under the territorial government. Responsibility for the public health program for leprosy had rested with the Board of Health from 1865 to 1931. As a result of the Judd Commission findings that there was dissatisfaction with and misunderstanding of the administration of the leprosy program, the 1931 legislature created a separate Board of Leper Hospitals and Settlement to function as a policy-making agency and established the position of General Superintendent as its administrative official. (The legislature transferred the program back to the Board of Health in 1949.) The Board of Hospitals and Settlement, as it was later called, which administered the territory’s leprosy program from 1931 to 1949, was a group of five citizens serving without pay, at least two of whom had to be doctors.
