Kummesteir ...!

04 كانون اول, 2008

كان صار ليّ يومان انام عند ريمي لأن امها وشقيقتها على سفر، استمتع كل مساء باحاديث لا تخلو من طرافة معها...

طبعا..

ريمي هذه الأيام سعيدة، وأنا كذلك، لأنها انتقلت الى عمل جديد براتب أفضل وموقع وخبرة أفضل.

هذا أمر يسعد كل اب الصحيح، عندما يرى أولاده لا يعانون مرض البطالة العضال. وعندما يراهم قادرون ليس على إيجاد عمل وإنما على امتلاك خيارات والتنقل من عمل إلى أفضل.

"ريمي" وجدت العمل السابق واللاحق منفردة بدون أي مساعدة أو واسطة وبدون الاستناد لا الى اسمي ولا الى اسم والدتها ولا الى اسم عائلتها لأنها ببساطة استطاعت ان تطور من قدراتها في لغات البرمجة واللغة الانكليزية ومهارات الكمبيوتر. كما ان اهتمامها بالشأن العام ومشاركتها في العمل الطلابي الشبابي وفي موقع "اخوية" السوري، الذي يشهد نقاشات ساخنة في كل مناحي الحياة بدون حدود جعلها تمتلك رؤية للحياة جعلتها صاحبة شخصية متماسكة واقدر على تقديم عمل متكامل.

هذا الكلام طبعا "راح يكبر راسها"، لكن انا اعرف أنها، كما وصفت نفسها ذات تعليق بانها "متواضعة"، مش كثير طبعا.

وريمي هادئة جدا بعكس أختها "ميس" أو ميسو" أو "ابو الغضب" فميسو "ثورجية" بكل ما في الكلمة من معنى، وهي مثل المعارضة عندنا، تنتقدنا، ريمي وانا ، لأننا نعمل مع منظمات دولية واوروبية واميركية ومع ذلك ليس عندها مانع ان تتصرف وتنفق كمحدثة نعم، كـ"برجوازية محدثة"، وببذخ حفاظا على "بريستجها" بفلوسي وفلوس ريمي طبعا...

المهم...

دلتني ريمي اول امس على موقع لشباب اردنيين على "الفيس بوك"، هؤلاء الشباب كتبوا "تدوينه" يوثقون فيها لحياة اطفال الاردن في عقد الثمانينات.

هناك من سوف يقول ان هذا الامر تافه ولا يعدو مجرد خواطر او لا ادري. بالنسبة ليّ فانه عمل يستحق التأمل فهذه هي المرة الاولى التي اقرأ فيها شيء حقيقي عن "الحياة الشعبية للاطفال" بما يشبه التأريخ الشفوي...

لم اقرأ ذات مرة أي كتاب اردني يتنطح للتاريخ الشعبي و الشفوي للبلد والناس ناهيك عن الطفل، وكل تاريخنا الذي كتب هو تاريخ ملوك ورؤساء وحكومات وحروب...

ما يفعله الشباب على الانترنت يستحق جهدا علميا لتوثيقه، لكن ما يحصل عندنا امر محير فعلا مثل لعبة "الغماية" التي تتحدث عنها تدوينة هؤلاء الشباب..

ريمي أرسلت لي ما كتبوه وانا اعيد نشره بدون اذن منهم لأنني اعتقد انهم لن يمانعوا خاصة انني لا امتلك اشتراك للدخول الى الموقع واستئذانهم:

بعيدا عن الجدية استمتعوا بروح النكتة الحقيقية وبرواية اخرى لتاريخ الطفل الأردني الاجتماعي والاقتصادي وتأثير وسائل الإعلام على نمط حياته:
