Hy wonder of hy die eerste mens is wat die woorde \u201cwalvispiepie\u201d, \u201ctiet\u201d en \u201ctjorts\u201d in \u2019n akademiese lesing gebruik het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 s\u00ea Jaco Jacobs, die kinder- en jeugboekskrywer van bykans 200 boeke, oor die 35ste D.F. Malherbe-gedenklesing by die Universiteit van die Vrystaat (UV) wat hy tot groot vermaak van onder andere akademici, digters en skrywers gelewer het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 lesing, wat op Woensdag 15 Maart aangebied is, is in 2020 en 2021 weens die Covid-19-pandemie uitgestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was \u2019n voorreg om die lesing voor \u2019n wonderlike gehoor aan te bied,\u201d s\u00ea Jacobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Heidi Hudson, dekaan van die fakulteit geesteswetenskappe, het Jacobs voorgestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacobs, wat saam met sy gesin in Bloemfontein woon, het BA (kommunikasie) aan die UV studeer en sy honneurs in Afrikaans en Nederlandse literatuur daar voltooi. In 2002 het hy die dekaansmedalje vir topstudent in die fakulteit geesteswetenskappe ontvang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het in sy toespraak, wat ook in Engels vertaal is, ges\u00ea hoewel hy die uitdagings van die akademie in sy studentejare geniet het, het sy loopbaan uiteindelik \u2019n ander rigting ingeslaan. Deesdae doen hy navorsing oor onderwerpe soos \u201cvreemde gebruike vir broccoli, maniere om \u2019n zombie-apokalips te oorleef \u2013 moontlik met die hulp van broccoli \u2013 en die voedingswaarde van erdwurms\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het gesels oor \u2019n subgenre binne die Afrikaanse kinder- en jeuglektuur wat waarskynlik nie so gereeld in akademiese gesprekke of artikels opduik nie, maar wat hom baie na aan die hart l\u00ea: verse vir kinders. Die gehoorlede is teruggeneem na hul kinderdae met kinderrympies en snels\u00eaers soos \u201cTongknoper\u201d (My liewe neef Louw \/ My neus jeuk nou \/ Jeuk my liewe neef Louw \/Se neus ook nou?) en AG Vissser se \u201cOu tant Siena\u201d, wat Jacobs voorgedra het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKleintyd skrik po\u00ebsie jou nie af nie, maar \u00earens in \u2019n kind se latere skoolloopbaan droog di\u00e9 entoesiasme op.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWaarom is so min volwassenes po\u00ebsielesers en -liefhebbers? Waarom is soveel studente, tieners en, kom ons wees eerlik, onderwysers, doodbang vir po\u00ebsie as dit iets is wat hulle kleintyd geniet het?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel kinderverse lig en vermaaklik is, kan die versies wat kinders kleintyd hoor van die belangrikste literatuur wees waaraan iemand blootgestel word, meen Jacobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHerhaling, ritme, patrone \u2013 belangrike elemente in die vroe\u00eb ontwikkeling van \u2019n kind \u2013 is inherente eienskappe van baie kinderverse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het gepraat oor hoe die aanleer van versies onder meer \u2019n kind se geheue help ontwikkel en met wiskundeprestasie kan help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKinderverse kan en m\u00f3\u00e9t \u2019n eerste tree wees om \u2019n kind toe te rus met basiese vaardighede, wat later belangrik kan word wanneer daar met meer formele po\u00ebsie\u00adstudie op skool begin word. Want die eerste ding wat jy moet weet, is dat po\u00ebsie pret kan wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In \u2019n land met een van die swakste geletterdheidsvlakke ter w\u00eareld kan rympies \u2019n nuttige hulpmiddel wees om kinders se leesontwikkeling \u2019n hupstoot te gee, het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Danie Strauss, navorsingsgenoot aan die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) en voormalige dekaan van die fakulteit geesteswetenskappe aan die UV, was ook in die gehoor. Hy s\u00ea Jacobs het die veld van kinder- en jeuglektuur op \u2019n meesterlike manier behandel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is voorwaar die sprankelendste D.F. Malherbe-lesing wat ek nog bygewoon het. Dit was \u2019n briljante voordrag en dit gaan vir die volgende spreker moeilik wees om by Jacobs of Coenie de Villiers (wat die 33ste gedenklesing gelewer het) kers vas te hou.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
