I-idealist kum kudala yafuna ukukholelwa ukuba iilebheli azinamsebenzi, kodwa ukuba undiphendula ngendlela engeyiyo amaxesha amaninzi? Kuyacaca kum ukuba iilebheli zibalulekile. Iilebheli zinceda ukusichaza kunye nendima yethu emhlabeni. Oku kusinceda ukuba sinxibelelane nabanye-kusinika ukuqonda kwenjongo kunye nokuba lilungu. Kodwa iilebheli azimanga. Siluchonga njani utshintsho ekuhambeni kwexesha. Abantwana baba ngabantu abadala; abafundi baba ngootitshala; iintombi ziba ngoomama; njl. Kodwa ngaba iyatshintsha into esiyiyo?
Ngeendlela ezininzi, sihlala siguquka. Ngelixa sinobomi obunye kuphela, iziganeko zobomi bethu ngamanye amaxesha zenza ukuba izahlulo zibonakale zahluke ngokupheleleyo. Oko kuhlala kusishiya siziva njengoGqirha Ugqirha Ngubani . Apho singathi kukho into ebonakala ngathi yenzekile ebomini, oko kunokuba yinyani kuGqirha. Ukuphila ixesha elide kukaGqirha kunye nokukwazi ukuziphinda kubanike ithuba lokuphila ixesha elininzi lobomi. Ngalo lonke ixesha, bangumntu owahlukileyo kwaye baphila ubomi obahlukileyo kunobo bangaphambili, bephethe zonke iinkumbulo kunye neempawu ezininzi zomzimba wabo wangaphambili.
Yima ... kufuneka ukuba uyacinga, bona? AyingoGqirha 'yena?'
NgeCawa, nge-16 kaJulayi, i-2017, i-BBC ibhengeze ukuba ukuvuselelwa okulandelayo kukaGqirha kuya kuba ngumfazi. UJodie Whittaker, owaziwa kakhulu ngendima yakhe njengoBet Latimer kwi-Broadchurch, uzakuthatha inxaxheba kwaye azenze ugqirha xa uPeter Capaldi ehambisa umboniso kwikrisimesi ezayo, Kabini Ngamaxesha . Eli iya kuba lelokuqala kwimbali yeminyaka engama-54 yokubonisa ukuba ugqirha uyakuba ngumfazi.
Simbonile uGqirha ethetha njengomfazi ngaphambili. KuMhlaba oMtsha, isiqendu sokuqala kuthotho lwesibini, u-Lady Cassandra watsibela emzimbeni kaGqirha. Nangona kunjalo, oko akuzange kumenze abe nguGqirha. Wayengumfazi nje ovaleleke emzimbeni wendoda. Ithetha ukuthini ke ngoku into yoba uGqirha azodlalwa ngumfazi? Ngaba oku kuyamtshintsha?
Kuluntu lwanamhlanje, siyaqonda ukuba iilebhile esizinikiweyo azisoloko zichanekile. Ngombulelo, ukwanda kokuqonda koku kunabantu abaninzi nangakumbi ababuzanayo ukuba bakhetha ukuba kujongwane nabo njani kwaye bachonga njani. Ngoku xa sisuka kwindoda siye kugqirha obhinqileyo, kufuneka siqwalasele intsingiselo yoko kuthethwa kukuba yiNkosi yeXesha. Okanye iNenekazi leXesha. Ngaba ukhona umahluko? Yeyiphi echanekileyo?
Kutshanje bendilundwendwe kwiNewshour ye-BBC, ndixoxa ngoGqirha odlalwa ngumfazi. Ekupheleni kwecandelo, ndacelwa ukuba ugqirha, njengoko wayedlalwe nguJodie Whittaker, uya kuba yiNkosi yeXesha okanye iNkosikazi yeXesha. Khange ndicinge kabini-bendisithi i-Time Lord luhlanga, kwaye ke uzakuba yiNkosi yeXesha.
Ewe, kuvavanyo lwesalathiso esivela kubo bobabini oClassic Ngubani kunye noMtsha oMkhulu, iziphumo zixubekile. Ixesha leNkosi kunye neLady Lady zisetyenziselwe ukubhekisa kwabasetyhini. URomana wabizwa njengeLady Lady kwisiXeko sokuFa ukusuka kwixesha le-17 kuthotho lweklasikhi, kunye no-Missy ngokukodwa bacela ukubhekiswa njengeLady Lady kuManzi aMnyama ngexesha le-8 loluhlu lutsha. Nangona kunjalo, iAkhademi yaseGallifrey ibizwa ngokuba yiTime Lord Academy kumatyeli aliqela, kwaye uRassilon ubhekisa kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu (amadoda nabafazi) njengeeNkosi zexesha likaGallifrey Ngomhla kaGqirha eNew Who. Kubonakala ngathi akukho mpendulo icacileyo.
Sele sibalekile kumcimbi wolwimi. Ngaba ixesha leNkosi luluhlanga? Uhlobo? Isihloko kwinkqubo yodidi? Kuqikelelo lwam olungelulo, bendikhe ndacinga ukuba yiNkosi yeXesha ngokuchasene nokuba yiGallifreyan ngokungathi ungazibiza ngokuba ungumntu okanye iTerran. Abantu ziintlobo ze-Terran humanoid. Nangona kunjalo, ayingawo onke amaGallifreyans aba ziiNkosi zeXesha. AmaGallifreyans aba ziiNkosi zeXesha abavela kwizindlu ezilawulayo ezibizwa ngokuba Zizahluko zikaGallifrey. Olu hlobo lwenkqubo yodidi luchaza ukuba ngubani olawula ngegazi, kodwa ukuba yiNkosi yeXesha kungaphezulu kwalowo uhlobene naye.
Ishumi kubonakala ngathi ukubhekisa oku kuGqirha kaGqirha kuthotho lwesine. Kule ngqungquthela, ugqirha uyenziwe. I-clone, uJenny, ngumfazi omncinci, kwaye uDonna uyabuza, Ngaba oko kuthetha ukuba u… ubiza ntoni ngokuba liXesha leNkosi labasetyhini? UJenny ubuza ukuba yintoni iNkosi yeXesha kwaye ukuba inguye na. Ugqirha uyaphendula, Ungu-echo, yiyo yonke loo nto. Ixesha leNkosi likhulu kakhulu. Isixa solwazi, ikhowudi, kunye nembali ekwabelwana ngayo, kunye nokubandezeleka okwabelwanayo. Ngelixa ugqirha kusenokwenzeka ukuba wayethetha ngaphandle kokulimala malunga nexesha elidlulileyo, inqaku lakhe lenziwe. Kukho isixa solwazi olufunyenwe kwiAkhademi.
Ibaluleke kangakanani iAkhademi? Abantwana bathathwe kwiintsapho zabo xa beneminyaka esibhozo ubudala ukuba bajonge kwi-Untempered Schism of Time, ngokutsho kukaGqirha kwiSandi samaGubu. Oku bekungasoloko kuphela kakuhle. Kwaye akubonakali ngathi kunyanzelekile, njengoko abantu babengeniswe esikolweni ixesha elithile. Akucaci ukuba baya kuze bagqibe, nangona kunjalo. Ngokwamabali ahlekisayo, abantu bachitha iinkulungwane kwi-Akhademi. Ngaba oku kuthetha ukujonga kwiSchism engafundiswanga kwenza oku kwenzeke? Ngaba iyayitshintsha imfuza yakho?
Siyazi ukuba kukho icandelo lofuzo. Kwi Ugqirha Oyimfihlo , kuyachazwa ukuba uJenny, owayenziwe ngoGqirha, lelinye ilungu lolohlanga, okanye into esondeleleneyo nalo. Sijonge kwiNgoma yoMlambo. Kuluhlu lwesithandathu, uMfuzo wemfuza ucacisiwe kwiNdoda elungileyo eya eMfazweni. Ukukhulelwa ngexesha lomlambo onesiphiwo seVortex enexesha leDNA ye-DNA ukongeza kwi-DNA yakhe. Kukho bambalwa abangayi kuthathela ingqalelo uMlambo njengeNkosi yeXesha leXesha, banikwe amandla okuzihlaziya.
Ke njengendidi okanye ugqatso, ukuba lixesha leNkosi kufana nokuba yiTrill evela Inkwenkwezi yetrek . I-Trill luhlobo oludibeneyo- umgcini kunye nesimboli. Ngelixa iTrill inokubanakho ukujoyina isimboli, ayingabo bonke abayenzayo, kwaye kufuneka uthathe inxaxheba kuqeqesho olubanzi. Okufana neTrill kunye nokujoyina, kusemva kokuba uye kwisikolo semfundo apho umntu abe liNkosi yeXesha. Kukho zombini izakhi zofuzo kunye nokufunda kweqela ngalinye.
Ugqirha ngamnye ngumntu omtsha, oqhubeka nobunzima bemeko yakhe yangaphambili njengophawu lokuthwala iinkumbulo zangaphambili ukuya kwiTrill entsha abadibana nayo. Asinakusuka nje sithi indlela ababecinga ngayo nababebhekisa ngayo ngaphambili ikwayiloo ndlela baya kuthi ngayo kwixesha elizayo. Nasebantwini, siyaqonda ukuba siyakhula kwaye siyatshintsha. Iilebheli zethu ziyatshintsha.
UJodie Whittaker uza kwindima kaGqirha kwimeko engeyiyo ngaphambili. Ulwa umbono wokuba uGqirha uyindoda. Nabadlali ababekade bedlala uGqirha ngaphambili bathe abaqinisekanga ngomfazi odlala indima. Ukuba ndiziva ndithandabuza, kukuphulukana nemodeli yamakhwenkwe, endicinga ukuba Ugqirha Ngubani ibaluleke kakhulu kwi. Ke, ndiziva ndibuhlungu malunga noku, kodwa ndiyayiqonda impikiswano yokuba kufuneka uyivule, utshilo uPeter Davison, ugqirha wesihlanu UMgcini .
Asinguye wonke umntu ovumayo. UColin Baker, owaziwa njengoGqirha wesithandathu, utshilo kuTwitter, Guqula izithandwa zam hayi okomzuzwana kungekudala- NGUGqirha, nokuba uyathanda okanye awuthandi! Kwaye njengokuba uMerriam Webster wasikhumbuza ngobubele, igama elithi ‘gqirha’ alinabuni esiNgesini. Akukho nto inomdla kumlinganiswa okanye kwigama ugqirha azikhethele lona. Leyo yinxalenye enkulu apho uGqirha ahluke khona kwi-Missy / Master. U-Missy ubengumfazi kunye nendoda. U-Missy walitshintsha igama lakhe kwaye wacela ukuba abhekiswe kuye njengeLady Lady.
Ngeliphandle, ibinzana leXesha leNenekazi lenza ulusu lwam lukhase. Mhlawumbi kukudibana noMissy okwenzayo, okanye mhlawumbi yimbali Ugqirha Ngubani inabalinganiswa ababhinqileyo. Kuvela ukuthoba isidima kunye nokuncipha, ngokungathi ugqirha uya kuba yinkonzo emadodeni. Umlinganiswa akufuneki anciphiswe okanye abonakale ehambisa kuba ngoku baya kuba ngumfazi.
Ndabonisa ngokungaqhelekanga abahlobo bam ngeFacebook nakuTwitter; kubonakala ngathi andindedwa ekukhetheni ixesha leNkosi ukuba liqhubeke nokusetyenziswa (sibaleke malunga ne-80/20, Ixesha leNkosi kwiXesha leNenekazi). Ngelixa ukhetho olungathathi hlangothi ngokwesini apho kucetyiswayo, kubandakanya ixesha lokuba liXesha kunye neFolk Folk, uninzi lukhetha ukusebenzisa i-Time Lord njengenketho yokungathathi cala ngokwesini. Abanye bade bathi inkosi ligama elingathathi hlangothi ngokwesini. Endaweni yokusebenzisa inkcazo yokuba inkosi yindidi yesikhundla okanye isikhundla esiphakamileyo – i-feudal tenant enegunya okanye isihloko esivela ngqo kukumkani, baphikisa ngelithi inkosi ngulowo unamandla negunya phezu kwabanye, kwaye ungumlawuli Ilifa lemveli okanye ubungangamsha kwabo kulungiselelwe inkonzo kunye nentobelo.
Kukho umahluko ekusebenziseni kwindlela esiyisebenzisa ngayo inkosi kunye nenenekazi kwincoko eqhelekileyo. Ngelixa ucinga inkosi njengenamandla, inenekazi linokuba yindlela nje echubekileyo yokubhekisa kulo naliphi na ibhinqa. Inenekazi linokuzisa iimvakalelo ezincinci. Ingasetyenziselwa ukubonisa ikhowudi ethile yokuziphatha-ukubambela njenge-ladys, ephinda ivelise umbono wokuthobela amadoda. Ikwazisa u-Jerry Lewis ekhwaza, Heyi nkosazana, okanye nawuphi na umzalwana onxibe u-trilby ekubiza, i-milady, ilizwi labo livuza ukuzithoba.
Ekugqibeleni, indlela esibhekisa ngayo kwaGqirha kufuneka ibe lukhetho lukaGqirha. Kukho amandla ekubangeleni isazisi. Kukho amandla egameni lakhe. Kukho amandla kwimbali yakhe njengeNkosi yeXesha. Masibe nethemba lokuba ababhali bayayiqonda loo nto kwaye bayile indawo apho ugqirha eqinisekile ekwamkeleni ubuni bakhe kwaye ekhumbula ukuba ungulowo ebehleli eyi-Lord Time.
