A Narges Mohammadi il NOBEL PER LA PACE 2023

 Narges Mohammadi (Zanjan, 21 aprile 1972) è un'attivista iraniana, vice-presidente del Centro per la difesa dei Diritti Umani imprigionata dalle autorità iraniane dal maggio 2016. Il 6 ottobre 2023 è stata insignita del Premio Nobel per la pace "per la sua battaglia contro l'oppressione delle donne in Iran e per promuovere diritti umani e libertà per tutti".

Un Nobel da 154 frustrate e 31 anni di carcere

GIO / Mariagrazia Quaranta 


Ali, 17 ans, est le fils de Narges Mohammadi, Nobel de la paix. Il a appris la récompense décernée à sa mère ce matin, alors qu'il était en cours de physique-chimie. Il raconte à 

@Libe

 : «Sans que le prof me voit, je n’ai pas arrêté de rafraîchir la page sur mon portable. Quand la fin de la classe a sonné, j’ai foncé, quitté le lycée et suis rentré direct à la maison, j’avais besoin de célébrer avec mon père. On est très très fiers et très heureux, c’est assez fou. Ce prix est pour ma mère, mais pas seulement. Il est pour toutes les personnes qui se battent en Iran, pour toutes les prisonnières, pour les femmes aussi qui se battent contre le régime des talibans en Afghanistan.»




NOBEL PER LA PACE 2023

 Il Comitato norvegese per il Nobel ha assegnato il Nobel per la Pace del 2023 all’attivista iraniana Narges Mohammadi per «la sua lotta contro l’oppressione delle donne in Iran e la sua lotta per promuovere i diritti umani e la libertà per tutti».

Finalmente un Nobel per la Pace che troverà d'accordo tutti... o quasi.

Ali, figlio di Narges Mohammadi, premio Nobel per la pace: “Questo premio è per tutti i prigionieri, per le donne che combattono”

Alle 16, il liceale apprese la notizia mentre era in classe. Insieme a suo padre e alla sorella gemella Khiana, ritiene che questo premio implichi “una maggiore responsabilità” nel continuare la lotta per l’uguaglianza.

di Sonia Delesalle-Stolper

Ali ha 16 anni, è uno studente del primo anno in un liceo di Parigi. Questo venerdì mattina, poco prima delle 11, era a lezione di fisica e chimica. “Sapevo che in quel momento sarebbe arrivato l’annuncio del Premio Nobel per la Pace, quindi, con discrezione, senza che l’insegnante mi vedesse, ho continuato ad aggiornare la pagina sul mio portatile, ma è durato qualche minuto prima che comparisse il nome di mia madre!” dice al telefono a Libération. La sua voce è un po' affannata, il telefono non si è fermato dall'annuncio che il premio è stato assegnato a Narges Mohammadi. “Siamo molto, molto orgogliosi e molto felici, è davvero pazzesco”, aggiunge Ali, che è riuscito a rimanere calmo e in silenzio fino alla fine del suo corso.In effetti, avevo così paura di tradirmi che evitavo di stabilire un contatto visivo con i miei amici. Quando è suonata la fine della lezione sono corsa fuori, sono uscita da scuola e sono andata dritta a casa, dovevo festeggiare con mio padre”.

È metà pomeriggio e Ali confida ridacchiando: “Mia sorella gemella Khiana va ancora al liceo. Ci sono buone probabilità che non se ne sia ancora accorta, non è molto sui social network, avrà una bella sorpresa quando tornerà a casa. La sua voce si incrina un po' quando spiega che "non parla con nostra madre da due anni". Il regime non permette alle persone a lei più vicine, al marito Taghi Rahmani, anch'egli oppositore di lunga data, e ai loro due figli, Ali e Khiana, tutti rifugiati da otto anni in Francia, di parlare direttamente con Narges, incarcerato nel sinistro Il carcere di Evin, nel cuore di Teheran. “I contatti avvengono tramite le mie zie e i miei zii a Teheran, che a volte possono parlarle o vederla”.

Nella conversazione interviene poi il padre, Taghi Rahmani. “Il Premio Nobel per la Pace è un immenso prestigio, un immenso motivo di orgoglio, ma è anche una responsabilità aggiuntiva. Come lei stessa ha affermato nel messaggio che aveva preparato e dettato alla sorella, questo premio non fa altro che rafforzare la lotta, la determinazione di tutti noi, per ottenere tre cose in Iran: democrazia, libertà e uguaglianza." Né lui né suo figlio si aspettano che il rilascio di Narges venga accelerato dalla concessione di questo premio. "Al contrario, c'è indubbiamente il rischio di ripercussioni in carcere", giudica Ali. Ma “l’importante è che il cammino verso la libertà continui, che si intensifichi la lotta contro le discriminazioni etniche, di genere e sociali”,aggiunge suo padre.


Le reazioni dopo l'assegnazione del Premio Nobel per la Pace all'iraniana Narges Mohammadi: “È anche il riconoscimento della rivoluzione “Donne, Vita, Libertà””

6 ottobre 2023

Diverse ore dopo il premio Nobel, la sua famiglia in Francia non sapeva ancora come Narges avesse ricevuto la notizia tra le mura della sua prigione. «Nel complesso sta abbastanza bene, anche se da due anni è sottoposta a pesanti cure mediche e all'intervento a cuore aperto, che in carcere non è facile», spiega Taghi . Ma vorrebbe che menzionassimo altri due prigionieri politici che attualmente versano in pessime condizioni di salute, Nahid Taghavi e Mahvash Sabet”.

“Questo premio è per mia madre, ma non solo. È per tutte le persone che combattono in Iran, per tutti i prigionieri, anche per le donne che combattono contro il regime talebano in Afghanistan”, aggiunge Ali. Non ci sarà una vera e propria festa per festeggiare il premio. Sabato l'adolescente visiterà sicuramente l'associazione Seda, che in persiano significa “la voce” e che aiuta i rifugiati al loro arrivo. L’organizzazione è gestita da “una persona molto, molto cara al mio cuore, vederla sarà un modo per festeggiare questo premio”.

Il Premio Nobel verrà ufficialmente assegnato durante una cerimonia che si terrà a Oslo all'inizio di dicembre. Taghi, Ali e Khiana andranno lì insieme per rappresentare Narges. "A meno che, possiamo sempre sperare, non verrà rilasciata per allora e le sarà permesso di andare lì con noi."

International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN)

Prize motivation: "for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons"

Prize share: 1/1

The Nobel Peace Prize 2017
International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN)

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). The organization is receiving the award for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons.
We live in a world where the risk of nuclear weapons being used is greater than it has been for a long time. Some states are modernizing their nuclear arsenals, and there is a real danger that more countries will try to procure nuclear weapons, as exemplified by North Korea. Nuclear weapons pose a constant threat to humanity and all life on earth. Through binding international agreements, the international community has previously adopted prohibitions against land mines, cluster munitions and biological and chemical weapons. Nuclear weapons are even more destructive, but have not yet been made the object of a similar international legal prohibition.
Through its work, ICAN has helped to fill this legal gap. An important argument in the rationale for prohibiting nuclear weapons is the unacceptable human suffering that a nuclear war will cause. ICAN is a coalition of non-governmental organizations from around 100 different countries around the globe. The coalition has been a driving force in prevailing upon the world’s nations to pledge to cooperate with all relevant stakeholders in efforts to stigmatise, prohibit and eliminate nuclear weapons. To date, 108 states have made such a commitment, known as the Humanitarian Pledge.
Furthermore, ICAN has been the leading civil society actor in the endeavour to achieve a prohibition of nuclear weapons under international law. On 7 July 2017, 122 of the UN member states acceded to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. As soon as the treaty has been ratified by 50 states, the ban on nuclear weapons will enter into force and will be binding under international law for all the countries that are party to the treaty.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee is aware that an international legal prohibition will not in itself eliminate a single nuclear weapon, and that so far neither the states that already have nuclear weapons nor their closest allies support the nuclear weapon ban treaty. The Committee wishes to emphasize that the next steps towards attaining a world free of nuclear weapons must involve the nuclear-armed states. This year’s Peace Prize is therefore also a call upon these states to initiate serious negotiations with a view to the gradual, balanced and carefully monitored elimination of the almost 15,000 nuclear weapons in the world. Five of the states that currently have nuclear weapons – the USA, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China – have already committed to this objective through their accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of 1970. The Non-Proliferation Treaty will remain the primary international legal instrument for promoting nuclear disarmament and preventing the further spread of such weapons.
It is now 71 years since the UN General Assembly, in its very first resolution, advocated the importance of nuclear disarmament and a nuclear weapon-free world. With this year’s award, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to pay tribute to ICAN for giving new momentum to the efforts to achieve this goal.
The decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons has a solid grounding in Alfred Nobel’s will. The will specifies three different criteria for awarding the Peace Prize: the promotion of fraternity between nations, the advancement of disarmament and arms control and the holding and promotion of peace congresses. ICAN works vigorously to achieve nuclear disarmament. ICAN and a majority of UN member states have contributed to fraternity between nations by supporting the Humanitarian Pledge. And through its inspiring and innovative support for the UN negotiations on a treaty banning nuclear weapons, ICAN has played a major part in bringing about what in our day and age is equivalent to an international peace congress.
It is the firm conviction of the Norwegian Nobel Committee that ICAN, more than anyone else, has in the past year given the efforts to achieve a world without nuclear weapons a new direction and new vigour.

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 2017 NOT TO TRUMP    Marian Kamensky
NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 2017 NOT TO TRUMP
06 Oct 2017



Nominated but not Awarded

The three most common searches on individuals in the Nobel Peace Prize nomination database are Adolf Hitler, Mahatma Gandhi and Joseph Stalin.
Joseph Stalin, the Secretary General of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1922-1953), was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1945 and 1948 for his efforts to end World War II.

Mahatma Gandhi, one of the strongest symbols of non-violence in the 20th century, was nominated in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947 and, finally, shortly before he was assassinated in January 1948. Although Gandhi was not awarded the Prize (a posthumous award is not allowed by the statutes), the Norwegian Nobel Committee decided to make no award that year on the grounds that "there was no suitable living candidate".
Adolf Hitler was nominated once in 1939. Incredulous though it may seem today, the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1939, by a member of the Swedish parliament, an E.G.C. Brandt. Apparently though, Brandt never intended the nomination to be taken seriously. Brandt was to all intents and purposes a dedicated antifascist, and had intended this nomination more as a satiric criticism of the current political debate in Sweden. (At the time, a number of Swedish parliamentarians had nominated then British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin for the Nobel Peace Prize, a nomination which Brandt viewed with great skepticism. ) However, Brandt's satirical intentions were not well received at all and the nomination was swiftly withdrawn in a letter dated 1 February 1939.
Other statesmen and national leaders who were nominated but not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize:
Czechoslovakia: Thomas G. Masaryk, Edvard Benes,
Great Britain: Neville Chamberlain, Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee,
Ramsay MacDonald, Winston Churchill
USA: the presidents William Howard Taft, Warren G. Harding, Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman &
Dwight D. Eisenhower; the foreign ministers Charles Hughes, John Foster Dulles
France: Pierre Mendès-France
Western Germany: Konrad Adenauer
Argentina: Juan and Eva Peron
India: Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru
Finland: Juho Kusti Paasikivi
Italy: Benito Mussolini
Artists nominated but not awarded the Peace Prize: 
Leo Tolstoy (Russian author), E.M. Remarque (German author),Pablo Casals (Spanish Catalan cellist and later conductor),Nicholas Roerich.
Nominees not primarily known for their peace work:
John Maynard Keynes, British economist.
Pierre de Coubertin, French pedagogue and historian best known for founding the International Olympic Committee.
Lord Baden-Powell, Lieutenant-General in the British Army, writer, founder of the Scout Movement.
Maria Montessori, best known for her philosophy and method of educating children from birth to adolescence. Her educational method is still in use today in a number of public as well as private schools throughout the world.
Royal nominees:
Tsar Nikolai II (1901), Prince Carl of Sweden (1919), King Albert I of Belgium (1922), Emperor Haile Selassi of Ethiopia(1938), King Paul I of Greece (1950), Princess Wilhelmina of the Netherlands (1951).

To be nominated for a Nobel Prize is not an official endorsement or extended honour to imply affiliation with the Prize or its related institutions. Nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize require no invitation and can be submitted from all corners of the world to the Norwegian Nobel Committee. The broad eligibility of nominators means thousands of people – with no affiliation to the Nobel Committee – can put forward a name and motivate their opinion of why they consider a candidate worthy. This is what differs the selection process for the Nobel Peace Prize from many other prizes where awarding committees or academies select all the nominees as well as the winner.

Premio Nobel per letteratura 2017: Kazuo Ishiguro

The Nobel Prize in Literature 2017 : Kazuo Ishiguro

Ishiguro ⟨išigùro⟩, Kazuo. - Scrittore giapponese naturalizzato britannico (n. Nagasaki 1954). Perfettamente integrato nella cultura britannica, privilegia una forma di scrittura non lontana dal tradizionale realismo occidentale, differenziandosi in questo dagli orientamenti postmoderni e dalle aperture multiculturali dei giovani scrittori britannici. Suo tema dominante è la rievocazione di un passato individuale e nazionale, situato negli anni del secondo dopoguerra, in un mondo dove è in atto un totale mutamento di costumi, accompagnato dalla perdita dei valori tradizionali. Vincitore del Booker Prize nel 1989 con il romanzo The remains of the day (1989; trad. it. 1990), che gli ha dato fama internazionale, e nel 2005 con Never let me go (2005; trad. it. 2006). Nel 2017 gli è stato conferito il premio Nobel per la letteratura "perché, nei suoi romanzi di grande forza emotiva, ha svelato l’abisso sottostante il nostro illusorio senso di connessione con il mondo". (continua)

"This is amazing and totally unexpected news. It comes at a time when the world is uncertain about its values, its leadership and its safety. I just hope that my receiving this huge honour will, even in a small way, encourage the forces for goodwill and peace at this time."-- Kazuo Ishiguro on winning the Nobel Prize in Literature

Prize share: 1/1

The Nobel Prize in Literature 2017 was awarded to Kazuo Ishiguro "who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world".


Lo scorso anno le polemiche furono numerose per l'assegnazione del Premio Nobel per la Letteratura a Bob Dylan. L'atteggiamento del musicista, che sembrò inizialmente indifferente a un simile riconoscimento internazionale, non migliorò l'atteggiamento dell'opinione pubblica.
Quest'anno invece non dovrebbero esserci polemiche: ad aver ricevuto il Premio è infatti il grande scrittore Kazuo Ishiguro, di origini giapponesi, ma vissuto in Gran Bretagna dall'età di sei anni, molto amato per romanzi come "Un pallido orizzonte di colline", "Quel che resta del giorno", "Non lasciarmi", "Quando eravamo orfani", "Il gigante sepolto".
Dalle sue opere sono stati tratti film di grande successo, come "Quel che resta del giorno" di James Ivory, con Anthony Hopkins ed Emma Thompson, e "Non lasciarmi", con Andrew Garfield, Carey Mulligan e Keira Knightley.

 Richard H. Thaler

Born: 1945, East Orange, NJ, USA
Affiliation at the time of the award: University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA
Prize motivation: "for his contributions to behavioural economics"

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2017 to Richard H. Thaler

“for his contributions to behavioural economics”

Easy money or a golden pension? Integrating economics and psychology
The American economist Richard H. Thaler is a pioneer in behavioural economics, a research field in which insights from psychological research are applied to economic decision-making. A behavioural perspective incorporates more realistic analysis of how people think and behave when making economic decisions, providing new opportunities for designing measures and institutions that increase societal benefit.
By exploring the consequences of limited rationality, social preferences, and lack of self-control, Thaler has shown how these human traits systematically affect individual decisions as well as market outcomes.

Limited rationality: Thaler developed the theory of mental accounting, explaining how people simplify financial decision-making by creating separate accounts in their minds, focusing on the narrow impact of each individual decision rather than its overall effect. He also showed how aversion to losses can explain why people value the same item more highly when they own it than when they don’t, a phenomenon called the endowment effect. Thaler was one of the founders of the field of behavioural finance, which studies how cognitive limitations influence financial markets.

Social preferences: Thaler’s theoretical and experimental research on fairness has been influential. He showed how consumers’ fairness concerns may stop firms from raising prices in periods of high demand, but not in times of rising costs. Thaler and his colleagues devised the dictator game, an experimental tool that has been used in numerous studies to measure attitudes to fairness in different groups of people around the world.

Lack of self-control: Thaler has also shed new light on the old observation that New Year’s resolutions can be hard to keep. He showed how to analyse self-control problems using a planner-doer model, which is similar to the frameworks psychologists and neuroscientists now use to describe the internal tension between long-term planning and short-term doing. Succumbing to shortterm temptation is an important reason why our plans to save for old age, or make healthier lifestyle choices, often fail. In his applied work, Thaler demonstrated how nudging – a term he coined – may help people exercise better self-control when saving for a pension, as well in other contexts.

In total, Richard Thaler’s contributions have built a bridge between the economic and psychological analyses of individual decision-making. His empirical findings and theoretical insights have been instrumental in creating the new and rapidly expanding field of behavioural economics, which has had a profound impact on many areas of economic research and policy.

Liu Xiaobo (28/12/1955 - 13/7/2017)

Cina, morto Liu Xiaobo: il dissidente eroe di Tienanmen e Nobel per la pace nel 2010
L’attivista era malato da tempo di cancro al fegato. Aveva 61 anni. Nel 2009 era stato condannato a undici anni di carcere con l'accusa di «incitamento alla sovversione». Intanto Stati Uniti e Unione Europea Rex chiedono a Pechino di liberare dagli arresti domiciliari la vedova

Nobel per l'amore
di Massimo Gramellini
Ci sono amori così potenti che rimangono liberi anche dietro le sbarre. Il dissidente cinese Liu Xiaobo e la «poetessa governativa» Liu Xia, nomi simili da predestinati, si conobbero negli anni Ottanta. Entrambi sposati, lui con un carico ulteriore di amanti assortite. Ma dal sorriso di lei sgorgava luce pura. Il resto venne di conseguenza: piazza Tienanmen, gli arresti, i divorzi, il matrimonio in carcere. Anche quando lui tornò libero - si fa per dire - non restarono mai soli. La polizia ficcava il naso persino nelle lettere d’amore. Eppure quei due riuscivano a creare intimità anche dove non c’era. La notizia del Nobel per la pace sorprese Xiaobo di nuovo in prigione. Avrebbe voluto che a ritirarlo andasse lei, ma per impedirglielo il regime comunista la mise ai domiciliari. Da quel giorno il sorriso di Xia smarrì la luce. Ebbe un attacco di cuore e il marito, straziato, si ritrovò a lottare con un tumore al fegato.

Xiaobo aveva un ultimo desiderio: farsi mandare con Xia in un ospedale straniero, così alla sua morte lei sarebbe stata libera. Rifiutò di essere intubato pur di non compromettere le speranze del trasferimento. Invece ha chiuso gli occhi senza poterla rivedere, se non in sogno. Le ha lasciato scritto: «Se fossi ridotto in polvere, userei le mie ceneri per abbracciarti». Ci sono amori così potenti che rimangono vivi anche oltre la vita.

Dessin de Boligán (Mexique), paru dans El Universal

Véritable symbole de la lutte contre le régime chinois, le prix Nobel de la Paix 2010 Liu Xiaobo est décédé ce jeudi 13 juillet, à l’âge de 61 ans.

Cet écrivain et ancien professeur avait été de toutes les grandes luttes de ces dernières années : dès 1989, il s’engage auprès des étudiants lors du mouvement de la place Tiananmen. En 1996, il se positionne en faveur d’un rapprochement entre les gouvernements taïwanais et chinois, ce qui lui vaut 3 ans en camp de travail. Mais c’est surtout en 2008, après les Jeux Olympiques de Pékin, que Liu Xiaobo fait connaître sa lutte au monde entier, en lançant la Charte 08, véritable manifeste pour la démocratisation du pays. Le gouvernement chinois l’arrête juste avant la publication du document et le condamne à 9 ans de prison. C’est lors de son emprisonnement qu’il reçoit, en octobre 2010, le Prix Nobel de la Paix.

comunque io a bob lo capisco
a bob
siamo fatti così noialtri
una volta, un tempo
mi ricordo
vinsi una penna a sfera
col quesito con la susi la vinsi
venne il fattorino
non aveva i miei occhi
aveva la mia penna
venne alla porta
lo guardavo dall'occhiolino
non gli aprii
non gli apersi
la persi
la penna
la tenne
la penna
il fattorino

Bob Dylan dopo un iniziale smarrimento per la notizia del premio ha annunciato la sua  impossibilità a partecipare alla cerimonia causa precedenti impegni.

 Patti Smith è stata scelta da Bob Dylan come sua rappresentante alla cerimonia di consegna dei Premi Nobel 2016, che si è tenuta quest'oggi (sabato 10 dicembre) a Stoccolma.

La cantautrice e poetessa americana ha omaggiato il Bardo di Duluth eseguendo, accompagnata dall'orchestra, una reinterpretazione del classico "A hard rain's a-gonna fall", cedendo anche a una grande emozione.

Ecco, di seguito, il video integrale dell'esibizione di Patti Smith  e più sotto, l'originale di Dylan e la lettera all'Accademia svedese:

Banquet speech by Bob Dylan given by the United States Ambassador to Sweden Azita Raji, at the Nobel Banquet, 10 December 2016.
Good evening, everyone. I extend my warmest greetings to the members of the Swedish Academy and to all of the other distinguished guests in attendance tonight.
I'm sorry I can't be with you in person, but please know that I am most definitely with you in spirit and honored to be receiving such a prestigious prize. Being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature is something I never could have imagined or seen coming. From an early age, I've been familiar with and reading and absorbing the works of those who were deemed worthy of such a distinction: KiplingShawThomas MannPearl Buck,Albert CamusHemingway. These giants of literature whose works are taught in the schoolroom, housed in libraries around the world and spoken of in reverent tones have always made a deep impression. That I now join the names on such a list is truly beyond words.
I don't know if these men and women ever thought of the Nobel honor for themselves, but I suppose that anyone writing a book, or a poem, or a play anywhere in the world might harbor that secret dream deep down inside. It's probably buried so deep that they don't even know it's there.
If someone had ever told me that I had the slightest chance of winning the Nobel Prize, I would have to think that I'd have about the same odds as standing on the moon. In fact, during the year I was born and for a few years after, there wasn't anyone in the world who was considered good enough to win this Nobel Prize. So, I recognize that I am in very rare company, to say the least.
I was out on the road when I received this surprising news, and it took me more than a few minutes to properly process it. I began to think about William Shakespeare, the great literary figure. I would reckon he thought of himself as a dramatist. The thought that he was writing literature couldn't have entered his head. His words were written for the stage. Meant to be spoken not read. When he was writing Hamlet, I'm sure he was thinking about a lot of different things: "Who're the right actors for these roles?" "How should this be staged?" "Do I really want to set this in Denmark?" His creative vision and ambitions were no doubt at the forefront of his mind, but there were also more mundane matters to consider and deal with. "Is the financing in place?" "Are there enough good seats for my patrons?" "Where am I going to get a human skull?" I would bet that the farthest thing from Shakespeare's mind was the question "Is this literature?"
When I started writing songs as a teenager, and even as I started to achieve some renown for my abilities, my aspirations for these songs only went so far. I thought they could be heard in coffee houses or bars, maybe later in places like Carnegie Hall, the London Palladium. If I was really dreaming big, maybe I could imagine getting to make a record and then hearing my songs on the radio. That was really the big prize in my mind. Making records and hearing your songs on the radio meant that you were reaching a big audience and that you might get to keep doing what you had set out to do.
Well, I've been doing what I set out to do for a long time, now. I've made dozens of records and played thousands of concerts all around the world. But it's my songs that are at the vital center of almost everything I do. They seemed to have found a place in the lives of many people throughout many different cultures and I'm grateful for that.
But there's one thing I must say. As a performer I've played for 50,000 people and I've played for 50 people and I can tell you that it is harder to play for 50 people. 50,000 people have a singular persona, not so with 50. Each person has an individual, separate identity, a world unto themselves. They can perceive things more clearly. Your honesty and how it relates to the depth of your talent is tried. The fact that the Nobel committee is so small is not lost on me.
But, like Shakespeare, I too am often occupied with the pursuit of my creative endeavors and dealing with all aspects of life's mundane matters. "Who are the best musicians for these songs?" "Am I recording in the right studio?" "Is this song in the right key?" Some things never change, even in 400 years.
Not once have I ever had the time to ask myself, "Are my songs literature?"
So, I do thank the Swedish Academy, both for taking the time to consider that very question, and, ultimately, for providing such a wonderful answer.
My best wishes to you all,
Bob Dylan
