05. Alan Turing, The Father of Artificial Intelligence

<p>Alan Turing is misschien wel één van de belangrijkste mensen uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Toch is hij na de Tweede Wereldoorlog schandalig behandeld omdat hij homoseksueel was. Ik praat met Jens Bosman over Alans leven, zijn seksualiteit en zijn behandeling na de Tweede Wereldoorlog.</p>

04. Emily Dickinson, The Eccentric Recluse

<p>Emily Dickinson was een Amerikaanse dichter uit de 19e eeuw. Tegenwoordig staat ze vooral bekend als een eenzame kluizenaar, maar Emily was zo veel meer dan dit. Ze zat vol met liefde voor haar vrienden en familie, en in het bijzonder voor haar beste vriendin en schoonzus, Susan. Of Emily en Susan een relatie hadden, kom je in deze aflevering van Queerstory achter, waarin ik samen met componist Ymkje de Boer de gedichten van Emily analyseer.</p> <p>De cello wordt gespeeld door Heleen Wabeke en de zang wordt gedaan door Ymkje de Boer en Miek Smilde.&nbsp;</p> <p>Gebruikte gedichten:</p> <p><strong>I died for beauty</strong></p> <p>I died for beauty, but was scarce</p> <p>adjusted in the tomb,</p> <p>when one who died for truth was lain</p> <p>in an adjoining room.</p> <p><br></p> <p>He questioned softly why I failed?</p> <p>"For beauty," I replied.</p> <p>"And I for truth, -the two are one;</p> <p>we brethren are," he said.</p> <p><br></p> <p>And so, as kinsmen met a night,</p> <p>we talked between the rooms,</p> <p>until the moss had reached our lips,&nbsp;</p> <p>and covered up our names</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>There's been a death in the opposite house</strong></p> <p>There's been a death in the opposite house&nbsp;</p> <p>as lately as to-day.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know it by the numb look&nbsp;</p> <p>such houses have alway.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>The neighbors rustle in and out,&nbsp;</p> <p>the doctor drives away.&nbsp;</p> <p>A window opens like a pod,&nbsp;</p> <p>abrupt, mechanically;&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>Somebody flings a mattress out,--&nbsp;</p> <p>the children hurry by;&nbsp;</p> <p>they wonder if It died on that,--&nbsp;</p> <p>I used to when a boy.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>The minister goes stiffly in&nbsp;</p> <p>as if the house were his,&nbsp;</p> <p>and he owned all the mourners now,&nbsp;</p> <p>and little boys besides;&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>and then the milliner,&nbsp;</p> <p>and the man of the appalling trade,&nbsp;</p> <p>to take the measure of the house.&nbsp;</p> <p>There'll be that dark parade&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>of tassels and of coaches soon;&nbsp;</p> <p>it's easy as a sign,--&nbsp;</p> <p>the intuition of the news&nbsp;</p> <p>in just a country town.</p>

03. Walt Whitman, Father of the Free Verse

<p>In deze aflevering behandel ik de Amerikaanse dichter Walt Whitman, die vooral bekend staat om zijn seksuele gedichten en zijn gedichten over mannelijke liefde. Voor wie schreef Walt deze gedichten? Samen met Roland Bruijn, docent Culture aan Windesheim, praat ik over Walts leven en zijn poëzie.</p> <p>De besproken gedichten:</p> <p><strong>Song of Myself, sectie 1</strong></p> <p>I celebrate myself, and sing myself,</p> <p>And what I assume you shall assume,</p> <p>For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.</p> <p><br></p> <p>I loafe and invite my soul,</p> <p>I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.</p> <p><br></p> <p>My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this air,</p> <p>Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same,</p> <p>I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,</p> <p>Hoping to cease not till death.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Creeds and schools in abeyance,</p> <p>Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten,</p> <p>I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard,</p> <p>Nature without check with original energy.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>A Woman waits for me</strong></p> <p>I am stern, acrid, large, undissuadable, but I love you,</p> <p>I do not hurt any more than is necessary for you,</p> <p>I pour the stuff to start sons and daughters fit for these states, I press with slow rude muscle</p> <p>I brace myself effectually, I listen to no entreaties,</p> <p>I dare not withdraw till I deposit what has so long accumulated within me</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Once I pass'd through a populous City</strong></p> <p>Once I pass'd through a populous city imprinting my brain for</p> <p>future use with its shows, architecture, customs, traditions,</p> <p><br></p> <p>Yet now of all that city I remember only a woman I casually met</p> <p>there who detain'd me for love of me,</p> <p>Day by day and night by night we were together—all else has</p> <p>long been forgotten by me,</p> <p><br></p> <p>I remember I say only that woman who passionately clung to me,</p> <p>Again we wander, we love, we separate again,</p> <p>Again she holds me by the hand, I must not go,</p> <p>I see her close beside me with silent lips sad and tremulous.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Whoever you are, holding me now in Hand</strong></p> <p>Or, if you will, thrusting me beneath your clothing,</p> <p>Where I may feel the throbs of your heart, or rest<br> upon your hip,</p> <p>Carry me when you go forth over land or sea;</p> <p>For thus, merely touching you, is enough—is best,</p> <p>And thus, touching you, would I silently sleep and be<br> carried eternally.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>I dreamed in a Dream</strong></p> <p>I dreamed in a dream, I saw a city invincible to the<br> attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth;</p> <p>I dream'd that was the new City of Friends;</p> <p>Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust<br> love—it led the rest;</p> <p>It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of<br> that city,</p> <p>And in all their looks and words.</p>
