Akukho nto intsha ukukhankanya indlelaeerily efanelekileyoUMargaret Atwood we-dystopia ka-1985 Ibali lesicakakazi kwimeko yethu yangoku yezopolitiko. Ibekwe kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseGiliyadi-eyayisakuba yi-United States yaseMelika-inoveli ibalisa ngebali likaOffred, isicakakazi kuMlawuli owayekwisikhundla esiphakamileyo kulawulo olutsha.
Ihlabathi lika-Atwood liphuma kubhukuqo-mbuso olwenziwe liqela lasekunene lamaKristu. Umongameli udutyulwa, i-congress iyadutyulwa, kwaye amaphepha-ndaba ayavavanywa. Kwenziwe umqobo ezindleleni kwaye nohambo luthintelwe ngokuqatha. Abangengawo amaKristu kunye nabangcatshi besini bayasongwa bathunyelwe ukuba bacoce inkunkuma enetyhefu kwiikoloni ukuba banethamsanqa, babulawa ukuba abekho.
Abalelwa ukuba babe nempahla, basebenze ngaphandle kwekhaya, bafunde, okanye banxibe nantoni na ngaphandle kweyona yunifomu ifihlakeleyo, abafazi baseGiliyadi ngokoqobo bangabesilisa. Ngamaqondo okuzalwa ngexesha lonke eliphantsi, iklasi labasetyhini abachumileyo abaziwa njengabakhonzazana babelwe amadoda akwizikhundla eziphezulu ngeenjongo zokuzala.
Ubomi obumnyama kubo bonke kodwa banethamsanqa, kwaye iyatsho ukuba ukusukela kunyulo lukaDonald Trump, ngexesha lokuncipha kwenkululeko yoluntu, ukuthengiswa kwenoveli kuye inyuke nge-200% .
Xa sixoxa ngokwanda, u-Atwood kutsha nje wakhankanya ukuba inoveli ibisekwe kumaxesha okwenyani, ukongeza ukuba imbali ihlala iziphinda . Oku kuyinyani ngokungathandabuzekiyo, kwaye inoveli sele izibonakalisile yoyikisayo. Oonyana bakaYakobi batyhola ubundlobongela babo kwangoko kumaSilamsi, kwaye icandelo lokugqibela kwinoveli, isifundo semfundo esenziwa kwiminyaka emva kokuwa kweGiliyadi, iyacaca ukuba yayiyimigaqo-nkqubo yobuhlanga yexesha langaphambi kweGiliyadi, uloyiko lwabo lobuhlanga, ebonelele ngezinye zeemvakalelo ezibonisa ukuba iGiliyadi iphumelele kwaye yenzile.
Okwangoku kuyacaca ukuba ekunene-ekunene, iimvakalelo zabamhlophe eziphakamayo phantsi komphezulu zivule indlela yempumelelo kaTrump ngendlela efanayo naleyo yokubhukuqwa kweGiliyadi. Nangona iinkcukacha zinokwahluka, ulawulo lukaTrump sele luthintele ukufuduka kunye nokuhamba, inkululeko yokuzala, kunye nokukhuselwa kwendalo, kwaye akubonakalisi zimpawu zokuma. Ukuba Ibali lesicakakazi silindele ngempumelelo imeko yethu yangoku, inoveli ingasifundisa ntoni ngokuchasene? Yintoni enokufundwa kumzabalazo ka-Offred?
1. Musa ukusibetha ngoyaba isoyikiso
Mna noLuke sasimbukela ngamanye amaxesha kwiindaba zobusuku. … Sasicinga ukuba uyahlekisa. Okanye uLuka wayecinga ukuba uyahlekisa. Ndizenze ngathi ndicinga njalo. Ngokwenyani wayesoyikisa kancinci. Wayenyanisekile.
Kwakunjalo xa abavoti bengamthathi ngokungathandabuzekiyo uTrump ukuba waqala ukuphumelela. Kuba akukho mntu wayikholelwayo into awayeyithetha, kwaba nzima ukuqonda impembelelo awayeyenza. Kwakuyimpazamo, kwaye enye eneziphumo esinokuziva ngayo ixesha elide.
Kodwa sazi ngcono ngoku. Siyazi ngokuchanekileyo ukuba yintoni iTrump ayisiyiyo into yamaSilamsi. Asazi ukwenza Umsebenzi kaBetsy DeVos kulula . Siyazi ukuba ukuhlala phantsi nokuvumela iOfisi yeenqobo ezisesikweni zikaRhulumente ukuba isweleke ayisiyiyo inketho. Unyulo lwaluyindlela yokuvuka, kwaye akukho namnye kuthi onokukwazi ukubuyela ebuthongweni.
2. Qokelela ulwazi
Ndiyazingcangcazela ngenxa yeendaba, naziphi na iintlobo zeendaba; nokuba ziindaba ezingezizo, kufuneka zithethe into.
Impazamo yethu enkulu yayikukufundisa [abantu basetyhini] ukufunda. Asizukuphinda siyenze lonto.
Kwihlabathi lika-Offred, ulawulo lugcinwa ngokunciphisa ngokukhawuleza oko baxelelwa abafazi, abanokuthetha nabo, kwaye apho bangafumana khona ulwazi. Iifilimu zepropaganda ziboniswa ukweyisela ababukeli ngezinto ezoyikisayo abazilindeleyo ngaphandle kolawulo, iindawo zikarhulumente zifakwe ibugged, kwaye ukufunda, nokuba kungumqondiso wevenkile yokutya, akuvumelekanga. Isoyikiso esikhulu kulawulo lwaseGiliyadi, kubonakala ngathi lulwazi.
Sebenzisa loo mandla. Ngokudibanisa ubuxoki kunye nezinye iinyani, kubaluleke ngakumbi kunanini na ngaphambili ukuba uhlale usesikhathini kunye nolawulo lukaTrump. Qinisekisa ukuba ufumana ulwazi lwakho kwimithombo ethembekileyo eneengxelo ezivakalayo kunye namabango aqinisekisiweyo. Ungabelani ngeemvakalelo, ulwazi olungakhange luqwalaselwe nokuba luqinisekisa umbono okhoyo. Biza amabango obuxoki, kwaye ubambe abanye baphendule ngenyaniso. UMongameli akanakuthenjwa ngokwenza oku , ke kufuneka sibeke umgangatho ophakamileyo.
3. Biza izinto ngamagama abo okwenyani
Sifunde ukufundeka ngomlomo, iintloko zethu zithe tyaba kwiibhedi, sijike saya ecaleni, sijongane imilomo. Ngale ndlela satshintshiselana ngamagama, ukusuka ebhedini ukuya kwelinye: Alma. Janine ukuhambelana namazwi Dolores. Moira. Isilimela.
Amagama anomdla, kunye namagama abalulekile. Isigqibo sokuhlutha abakhonzazana ngamagama abo, bebhekisa kubo njengepropathi yamadoda (ngokoqobo ka-Fred), yayineenjongo ezinenjongo, ezithoba isidima somntu, kwakuthetha ukususa nayiphi na ingqiqo yokuzimela. Ukubiza ukubulawa kwabantu, kunye noonogada basejele kunye noomakazi abafundisayo benza inkcaso yabanzima ngakumbi, ukuxhathisa kunzima ukuzithethelela.
Kunyanzelekile ukusebenzisa amagama okwenyani. Ngoku sikwi-post-yinyaniso kwaye kunanini na ngaphambili kufuneka sazi ukuba amagama esiwasebenzisayo anefuthe lokwenyani kubomi babantu. Ayizonyani ezizezinye, zibubuxoki. Ayisiyo kwigumbi elitshixwayo, kukuhlaselwa ngokwesondo. Ilungelo elise-alt-right ngenene ngamaNazi, kwaye amagama okuba ngumfuduki kunye nembacu ngekhe athethe izinto ezifanayo njengombulali kunye nodlwenguli. Iintatheli ezisasaza into eyayifunwa nguTrump azizizo iindaba ezingezizo. I-Bowling Green Massacre ayikhange yenzeke, kwaye ayinakusetyenziswa njengemfutshane yokugrogrisa amaSilamsi. Ulwimi belusoloko luyinto ebalulekileyo ekuchaseni, kwaye ukulusebenzisa ngokufanelekileyo, ukuthetha eyona nto siyithethayo, akukaze kubaluleke ngakumbi.
4. Ungaze uyeke ukuxhathisa
Banqumamisa uMgaqo-siseko. Bathe iyakuba yeyethutyana. Kwakungekho nasiphi na isiphithiphithi ezitratweni. Abantu babehlala emakhaya ebusuku, bebukele umabonwakude, bekhangela indlela. … Khange ndiye nakweyiphi na imatshi. ULuka wathi iyakuba lilize.
Sukuvumela ukuba ii-bastards zikugaye.
Mhlawumbi ukuba u-Offred wayejoyine uqhankqalazo kwiintsuku zokuqala zoqhushululu, ukuba abantu abaninzi bakulungele ukumisa ukungabikho kokusesikweni ngaphambi kokuba bafumane ithuba lokuchuma bajoyine yena, urhulumente waseGiliyadi ngewayengazange abe nethuba lokuzimela. Kodwa khange bayenze, kwaye ngoku elona khondo lilungileyo lokusebenza kukunyamezela, kwaye ungaze uyeke ukuxhathisa. Ngumyalezo ohlekisayo-wesi-Latin oshiyelwe u-Offred sisicakakazi sangaphambilini, isiqhulo esiguqulela ngokungavumeli ama-bastard ukuba akugungqise, oko kumxhasa njengoko iGiliyadi isongela ukunxiba naluphi na uluvo lokuzimela.
Yinto efunwa ngoorhulumente abacinezelayo, ukuze sisindwe zizinto ezenzekayo de siyeke ukulwa. Ukuqhubeka kokuchasana nokuqeshwa kwekhabhinethi kunye nemiyalelo yesigqeba kuye kwamothusa ulawulo lukaTrump. UTrump ujongene nokuchasana ngakumbi kunokuba ebecinga, kwaye kuye kwanyanzeleka ukunciphisa isicwangciso sakhe . Kufuneka siqhubeke. Asinakuvumela ii-bastards zisigaye phantsi.
4. Ukukhathalelana
Kunokubakho umanyano nakwindawo ezinjalo, kwanaphantsi kweemeko ezinjalo. Le yinto onokuxhomekeka kuyo: kuyakuhlala kukho umanyano, ngolunye uhlobo okanye olunye.
Kukungabikho kothando esifa ngalo.
Uninzi lwethu lusengozini. Inzondo yolwaphulo-mthetho ngokuchasene namaSilamsi e-US ikhule ngokuzinzileyo. Iibhilidi zangasese ezifana neNorth Carolina ziye zacetyiswa kwiindawo ezininzi. Ukutshitshiswa koMthetho woKhathalelo ongenakufikeleleka kuya kushiya izigidi ngaphandle kweinshurensi yezempilo. Umkhosi wase-US uvumile ukugqitywa kombhobho wokufikelela eDakota, ngaphandle koqhanqalazo olukhulu.
Okwangoku asinakukwazi ukujonga iziqu zethu kuphela. Kuphela kukuma kunye ngamalungelo akhe wonke umntu apho kuya kufezekiswa nantoni na. EGiliyadi, ubuhlobo babukrokrela, kwaye nakuphi na ukunxibelelana phakathi kwabo babeza kuba ngamanyano kuncitshisiwe. Kodwa ngaphandle kwale migudu, iindaba zabantu ababathandayo zadluliselwa, kwaye umzila kaloliwe ongaphantsi komhlaba waba yindlela yokuthatha abo basengozini, kubandakanya no-Offred, baphume elizweni. Ubuhlobo, umanyano, kunye nokuhlangana kusigcina somelele. Ukukhathalela imiba engasichaphazeli ngokuthe ngqo kusigcina somelele. Amahlakani amhlophe kufanele ukuba aye kwimingcelele yoqhanqalazo loMcimbi woBomi obuMnyama. Abo banakho ukuhlawulela ukhathalelo lwempilo kufanelekile ukuba balwe nokufikelela jikelele. Sonke kufuneka sikhathalele ungcoliseko kunye nokufikelela emanzini okusela nokuba amakhaya ethu akakho semngciphekweni. Hayi kwiYadi yam ipolitiki ayinandawo kumbutho omanyeneyo. Kufuneka sithandane.
5. Zikhathalele
Kuya kufuneka ndinyamezele, ndizigcine ndikhuselekile ukulungiselela ixesha elizayo.
Kulula, nangona kunjalo, ukuziva uxakekile, ukuziva ngathi kuninzi kakhulu okwenzekayo, kuninzi ukulungisa. Ukuxhathisa okungekho sikweni kukwathetha ukwazi ukusikelwa umda kwakho, kunye nokubuyela umva xa ufuna ixesha lokuphinda uhlaziye. Ukuzikhathalela yeyona ndlela yokuqinisekisa ukuba awuzukutsha.
Kulungile ukukhupha iplagi, ukuthatha ixesha ukusuka kuthotho lweendaba ezithatha amaphepha asekhaya e-Facebook kunye ne-Twitter feed. Gxila ekufumaneni ubuthongo obaneleyo, ukuzilolonga, ukuya kunyango okanye ukuhlakulela uthungelwano lwabantu abanokumamela kwaye bakuxhase njengoko uthetha ngendlela olu lawulo lukuchaphazela ngayo. Ziqhelanise nokuzikhathalela nangayiphi na indlela oziva ilungile kuwe. Isenokuba yinto engenamsebenzi njenge-Offred yokuba ibhotolo oyisebenzisa njenge-cream cream (umzamo omncinci wokuqinisekisa ubunini bomzimba wakhe), okanye ngokuqatha njengaxa eshiya intshukumo kaMayday, esoyika njengoluhlu lwezizathu anokubulawa ngazo. qhubeka nokunyuka. Nokuba yintoni, ukuzigcina usempilweni kwaye wonwabile ixesha elide iseyeyona nto iphambili ekufuneka uyenzile.
6. Soloko uyenza ubuqu
Abafazi abakwazi ukongeza, wayekhe watsho, eqhula. Xa ndimbuza ukuba uthetha ukuthini, wathi, Kubo, enye nenye kunye nenye azenzi zine.
Into ayithethileyo uMlawuli iyinyani. Inye kunye nenye kwaye nye alingani ezine. Elinye lihlala lahlukile, akukho ndlela yokudibanisa kunye. Azinakuguqulwa, enye ibe nye.
Incoko phakathi kuka-Offred kunye no-Commander yalatha kwisifundo esibalulekileyo: utshintsho olukhulu luhlala luqala njengokuchasana okuncinci, kwaye yindlela abantu abachaphazeleka ngayo kukungabikho kobulungisa okwenza ukuba kulungele ukulwa. Elona nyathelo liphosakeleyo laseGiliyadi yayikukucinga ukuba abantu basetyhini bayatshintshana, ukuba banokuphelisa nayiphi na imizila yobuntu kwaye baphathe lonke iqela labantu njengesixhobo esilahlayo.
Ukuchasana kufuneka kube kokobuqu. Kuya kufuneka ukuba ithethe into ngokwasemphefumlweni, okanye kungenjalo akukho nto kuyo. Ngelixa kubalulekile ukuba uzive ngathi le nto uyisebenzelayo yinxalenye yento enkulu, iingxaki ziye zilawuleke ngakumbi ukuba zinciphile. Zama ukunceda kufutshane nekhaya kuqala. Yenza ifuthe elikhulu kwisahlulo esincinci seengxaki zelizwe kangangoko unakho, kwaye ukhumbule ukuba ukuququzelela abantu basezantsi kunayo ingxelo eqinisekisiweyo , macala omabini endlela.
7. Sukucinga ukuba abo basemagunyeni abanakukhululwa kuyo
Kukho into enamandla ngokuhleba ngamanyala, malunga nabo basemagunyeni. Kukho into emnandi ngayo… iyabonakalisa.
Ukuba uTrump uninzi lwe-Twitter tantrums zibonakalise into enye, kukuba akanakuma ukuba yinto yokuhlekisa. Lo ngumongameli ochitha ixesha lakhe elininzi ebukele umabonwakude, ovela kwihlabathi likamabonwakude, kwaye ofuna kakhulu ukubonwa ngokukhanya okuhle. Kwiinyanga nakwiminyaka ezayo, ukusebenzisa umdlalo ohlekisayo ukumhlisa isikhonkwane kunokunceda kuphela. Ngelixa kubalulekile ukuthatha amanyathelo ezenzo zeenkokheli, ukukhumbula ukuba bangabantu kuphela kubalulekile. Banamaphutha, banobuthathaka, banokulwa, kwaye kufuneka sisebenzise naziphi na iindlela esinazo, ngakumbi uburharha, ukusikhumbuza oko.
9. Musa ukuwajongela phantsi amandla akho
Ndinemfoloko kunye necephe, kodwa ndingaze ndibe nemela. Xa kukho inyama bayinqumlela yona ngaphambi kwexesha, ngokungathi ndisilela kubuchule bokwenza ngesandla okanye amazinyo. Ndinazo zombini, nangona kunjalo. Yiyo loo nto ndingavumelekanga imela.
Sonke sinamandla ahlukeneyo, kwaye kukudlala ngamandla ethu esinokuthi senze utshintsho lwenene. Ngaba uyakwazi ukuya kuqhankqalazo nakwimiboniso? NgoMatshi wabaseWashington waqokelela izigidi zabantu, kwihlabathi liphela, kwaye wathumela umyalezo ongenakuphikwa. Ngaba uyakwazi ukubonelela ngemali kumaziko afana ne-ACLU, iLambda Legal, kunye noMzali oCwangcisiweyo, okanye ubhalise kumaphephandaba kunye neemagazini ezenza umsebenzi olungileyo? Bafuna uncedo lwakho. Ngaba unolwazi olukhethekileyo onokulusebenzisa ukunceda abanye? Abo banolwimi kunye nezakhono zokuguqulela okanye ulwazi lwezomthetho, umzekelo, baya kufunwa kakhulu. Ngaba ungalivolontiya ixesha lakho, ukuxhasa ngemali, okanye ukuthetha nabantu kwindlu ngendlu ngombutho owuthandayo? Ngaba uyakwazi ukubiza ilungu lakho lenkomfa yokwazisa iingxaki zakho?
Uninzi lwenoveli, u-Offred uziva elahlekile. Iparanoia kunye nokungathembani okwenziwe ngurhulumente omkhulu ofana noMzalwana kuye kwamshiya engenakuzenzela nto, engakwazi kwenza nantoni na enokububeka esichengeni ubomi bakhe, okanye ubomi babathandekayo bakhe abalahlekileyo. Kodwa ngelixa engenakho ukubanakho ukumelana ngokuqhubekayo nentshukumo kaMayday, bubungqina bakhe, uxelelwe ngesibindi, ukuba uyasinda ekuweni kweGiliyadi. Sonke sinezakhono esinokuba negalelo kuzo, kwaye kuthatha zonke iintlobo zokuchasana ukwakha intshukumo.
10. Balisa ibali lakho
Ukuba libali endilibalisayo, ke ndinolawulo kwisiphelo.
Ukuba ndingaze ndikwazi ukuseta oku phantsi, ngendlela enye okanye enye, nokuba kukwilizwi elinye ukuya kwelinye, iya kuba yinto yokwakha ngokutsha.
Libali lika-Offred eliza kusinda ebungozini nakwizidima zolawulo, kwaye isibindi sakhe ekusixeleni siya kuqinisekisa ukuba izizukulwana ezizayo ziya kwazi, kwaye mhlawumbi zifunde, ekuhluphekeni kwakhe.
Sifumana isigqibo sokuba amabali ethu akhangeleka njani. Sifanele sithathe isigqibo kwaye sibonise ukuba singaphezulu kokucalucalulo ngokobuhlanga, ngokwesini, ngoothixo abathandana nabantu abathandanayo nabathile uTrump kunye nokugcwala kwakhe. Balisa ibali lakho. Musa ukuthula malunga nendlela le nkqubo mitsha ekuchaphazela ngayo wena kunye nabantu obathandayo. Sidinga obu bungqina, la mabali oluntu emva kwezigqibo zomthetho. Baphefumla ubomi kumlo onokuthi ungabikho, ungome kakhulu, ukuze uzixhase. Amabali ethu kufuneka aviwe, ukuba nje siyazi ukuba asisodwa. Kukho amandla ekwamkeleni iintlungu zomnye nomnye, kwaye ngu-Offred othetha eyona nto ilungileyo: Ndiqhubeka nale nto ilusizi kwaye ilambile kwaye inesidima, eli bali liqhwalelayo nelomileyo, kuba emva kwayo yonke loo nto ndifuna ukuba uyive, njengoko ndiza kuyiva neyakho. nam ukuba ndifumana ithuba.
Mhlawumbi yiloo nto Ibali lesicakakazi uye waba nempembelelo engapheliyo. Ukugxila ekuchaseni cwaka, ukunganikezeli ekuphelelweni lithemba kunye nokuphelelwa lithemba ngaphandle koxinzelelo olukhulu lokwenza njalo, ukumamela ibali lomntu kunye nokuvelana noko kuye kwafuneka bakunyamezele, yile nto inoveli- kwaye ngethemba lokuba iinkonzo ezizayo- ziyakwenza oko kakuhle. Ukuba siyamamelana kwaye sisebenzelana, mhlawumbi sinokubeka ithuba.
(umfanekiso ngeHulu)
Ngaba ufuna amanye amabali anje? Yiba ngumbhalisi kwaye uxhase indawo!
