2853 (filosofie voor) het dagelijks leven II

na het leven is vurrukkulluk ben ik begonnen in een heer vertelt, eerste en laatste gesprekken van robin lutz met marten toonder, geïnspireerd door ons familiebezoekje aan het museum of comic art (moca) in noordwijk, een prachtig boek met heel mooie filosofische gesprekken over het leven en de dood en het scheppen van werelden en verhalen. maar hoe mooi het boek ook is, het is te groot om in bed…

Ik studeerde in Tilburg. Eén van de aardigste en professioneelste docenten van de Academie voor de Journalistiek was Jan van Beek. Hij was onder andere supervisor van de drukpers in de kelder. 

Na 7 minuten gewauwel van aanstellers en hoogwaardigheidsbekleders komt hij aan het woord. Jan was een authentieke Brabantse kerel met de bijbehorende moraal.

Na wat ruis mag docent Journalistieke Technieken Theo Schouw, tevens mijn stagebegeleider, op 28.00 minuten zinnige dingen zeggen over het ambacht dat de journalistiek is. Theo is nog steeds actief als journalist en schrijver. Van Frans Hermans zag ik helaas alleen een foto.

Eén van de beste en meest bevlogen actoren in de beschimmelde  Philipsfabriek was televisiedocent Ton Neelissen. Hij nam een pick-up mee naar school. Onder lestijd draaide hij Fela Kuti, maar ik weet niet meer waarom.

De laatste shots van het academiegebouw in een Tilburgse renovatiebuurt zeggen niet alleen iets over de staat van onderhoud van de voormalige Voltfabriek, maar nog meer over de can do-mentaliteit op deze leuke opleiding.

De ruime kantine onder de begane grond is ten onrechte uit de film gemonteerd.

note:

the next two clips are co-written by @odi-et-amo85! My dearest reader turned friend over the last couple of weeks, who was so kind to put together today’s clips, as she lives in Utrecht 🥰

She basically has written these clips, I used it’s complete structure, just rewriting parts that felt odd to me or the way I view the boys would react or talk to each other. Obviously to also have it coherent to all my other clips. I hope it doesn’t stray to far from them.

lastly,

TW: mentioning of historic gay prosecution

__ __ __

Jens and Lucas had been wandering the city for hours now, the sun had already set, leaving the couple to explore the streets and buildings in the dark. Jens actually liked it a lot with all the lights illuminating the city. 

„And there you have it, the Dom square. The fancy building in the corner is the Academiegebouw, where university students have their graduation,” His boyfriend next to him explained.

At this point Jens was simply astounded by all of the churches, houses, and grachten they had passed. But most of all, by Lucas’s seemingly effortless stories about each and every one of those places. 

They had started in Lepelenburg, a park near Isa’s house. Jens still wondering what spoons had to do with a park, but apparently Lepelenburg was the name of an old stronghold that had been used to be there between the 16th and 19th century. They had then continued to pass through the Herenstraat, which seemed oddly appropriate to Jens, onto the Nieuwegracht, until they encountered a large sculpture that stood there kind of randomly. 

„This is the first and only Dutch pope, Adrian VI,” Lucas recollected pointing towards it. The building behind the sculpture turned out to be his house, although he had never lived there. Jens didn’t quite get it, but Lucas had so much fun on his little tour, he gladly smiled and nodded along.

When the two boys passed through a tiny, cramped street called Achter de Dom, Jens had finally asked his boyfriend, what the big deal was with weird street names in Utrecht. Only to have Lucas grin back at him, for once giving now explanation. 

After circling around the impressive building, they faced head on, they came to a halt.

„So, this is the Church of Saint Martin or the Dom church, the most important church of Utrecht.”

„It looks weird.” Jens proclaimed bluntly, tilting his head at the cathedral. It looked french.

The church consisted of a pretty large building and an oddly placed tall tower, divided by an enormous square. Jens couldn’tquite make sense of what he saw infront of him. Who would build something like this?

„Yeah, fair enough. However there is a reason. On the 1st of August in 1674, the city was caught in an extraordinary storm. So severe, that it caused a tornado in Utrecht. I know, sounds unreal. But that tornado destroyed a lot of buildings around the city centre. One of these was the nave, uh the middle part, of the church, but weirdly enough the tower stayed upright...”

„But why not just rebuild it? This looks a bit dumb now, doesn’t it?” Jens interrupted the younger boy, wrapping his arms around Lucas’s middle, to rest his head on his boyfriend’s shoulder. It was a mystery to him, how Lucas wasn’t exhausted by now. Still finding the energy and a voice to continue.

„I was getting to that part, patience’s a virtue,” Lucas said with a cheeky grin, gently tapping his head against Jens’s. “Well, for a really long time the city just didn’t have the money to restore it. Actually, Utrecht was so broke at the time that all of the rubble just stayed there.”

Jens regarded the building again, speechless by the sheer amount of knowledge his boyfriend proved to have. How did Lucas manage to keep all this stuff in his brain, when Jens had trouble to remember where they started the tour today already? 

The younger boy hadn’t lied about having an exceptional memory.

„Therefore it just became too expensive to rebuild the entire nave, so they simply added the other extensions instead. At the time though when the rubble and ruin still stood, the church had become a popular place for people to meet up. And that reminds me!”

Lucas briskly made his way to another side of the square with Jens tailing along. He first noticed the enormous sculpture of a woman holding a torch. Supposedly the freedom monument that commemorated the Second World War, Lucas informed him as they passed it. Just before the younger boy pointed to a smaller monument. A single tile so ordinary, one could almost overlook it. 

Curious Jens leaned over it, having trouble to read the inscription in the dark of the evening.

„This is...” Lucas began, but paused right away again for a moment. Rather uncharastically for the younger boy, which caused Jens to look back up at him worried. But Lucas continued, his eyes strangly transfixed on the tile to their feet.

“This is the gay monument.“ He huffed. „It commemorates a very specific case of gay persecution. It’s pretty gruesome actually. You may remember the rubble by the dome that I had just told you about, where people would often gather? Well in 1730, the city’s authorities got complaints from the tower guard about men who were meeting each other there. Men like us. They prosecuted them, calling it sodomy...”

Jens wasn’t looking at the monument any longer, as he noticed his boyfriend halting mid-sentence. Instead he watched Lucas become more subdued, quieter as he went on, but with a need to speak, so the older boy let him.

„They arrested eighteen men, and after questioning them,“ The last two words bitter on his tounge, as Lucas wrinkled his nose and swallowed. „Two of them confessed. I can’t imagine what this must have felt like. In the end, all eighteen were put to death.” Lucas faltered even more at this point and it took a long moment for him to be able to conclude. „Only in 1999 had they erected this monument to remind people of what had happened. They put flowers here every year to remember.” 

Lucas’s eyes were glistening in the dim warm light of the few streetlamps burning around them, close to tears, not yet crying. The Dom square looked so quiet and peaceful, it was hard not to see the beauty in it, in stark contrast to the things his boyfriend had just said.

Jens never had thought much about it before. Perhaps ignorant in his presumed privilage to that part of the history, while Lucas must have learned about this years ago, in his own struggle to make peace with his sexuality. Jens didn’t even know if they had any equivalent in Antwerp to this monument here, wondering if Robbe would be able to tell instead.

But for now he gently took hold of Lucas’s hand, their fingers tightly intertwined as Jens pulled him into a hug. Determined to wait in silence until his boyfriend would feel better again, even if it took the whole night. He pecked a kiss on Lucas’s temple, letting his lips rest against the cold skin, just in spite of history really, as Jens leaned his head on his boyfriends, swaying them lightly on the spot.

1831 Altijd maar naar school

Op het laatste rapport van mijn lagere school stond: Op de ULO zal Ate heel hard moeten aanpakken, anders blijft hij het eerste jaar zitten. Met mijn uitgangspunt in gedachten dat het belangrijk is om zo lang mogelijk op school te blijven wist ik direct wat ik dat eerste jaar moest doen. Ik werd niet bevorderd en ging pas het volgend jaar over naar de tweede en toen voorwaardelijk over naar de…
