Meester en Knecht

Meester en leerling - feestbundel ter ere van DANIEL KNECHT (Samenstelling Yanick Maes)

Voor het emeritaat van prof. dr. Daniël Knecht, die klassieke filologie doceerde aan de Universiteit Gent, werden door classicus Yanick Maes in deze mooie veelzijdige bundel bijdragen (..). De lezer zal dan ook teksten vinden van Ausonius, Statius, Augustinus, Claudius Claudianus, Lucretius... Stuk voor stuk grote namen uit de Latijnse Literatuurgeschiedenis.

De onderwerpen van de teksten gaan - niet te verwonderen - vooral over het onderwijs: vaak wordt met diepe genegenheid teruggedacht aan oude leermeesters, zoals in de teksten van Seneca Rhetor, Persius en Ausonius die spreekt voer zijn leermeesters in Bordeaux. Of men roemt het onderwijs dat men heeft genoten van de grote, vaak strenge maar rechtvaardige leraars. Zo kijkt Achilles in Statius' Achilleïs terug op zijn harde opvoeding die hem heeft gemaakt tot wat hij is geworden.
Maar er kan ook al eens gelachen worden met het onderwijs: de bijdrage uit Petronius' Satyricon brengt een scabreus verhaal over een leraar die tot over zijn oren verliefd wordt op zijn knappe leerling, en Fronto, de mentor van keizer Marcus Aurelius, drijft op ironische wijze de spot met diens niet aflatende werklust. Grote mannen moeten zich ook op tijd en stond ontspannen...

Plot - imdb:

Three intertwined tales. On the eve of the First World War, Count Forbek starts to build a fantastic castle in the Ardennes forest.

In the present day, the castle is being used as an alternative school and, in the summer holidays, for an educational conference. At the conference, the American Nora Winkle bets Claudine that the ernest public school teacher Elisabeth Rousseau will be enticed into the bed of Robert Dufresne, even though the principal speaker, Walter Guarini, is obviously interested in Elisabeth. Meanwhile, the children staying at the castle over the holidays invent their own medieval tale about freeing prisoners from the dungeon

Kawakami, De tas van de leraar

Hiromi Kawakami, De tas van de leraar. Atlas.


Hoewel geen echte schoolfilm, maar toch over een verhouding leraar-leerling:

Tsukiko is achtendertig jaar en alleen. Voor de liefde, zo gelooft zij, is zij niet gemaakt. Dan ziet ze in een kroeg voor het eerst in twintig jaar Sensei, een leraar uit haar middelbareschooltijd, terug. Vanaf dat moment ontmoeten ze elkaar daar geregeld en gaan ze samen op paddenstoelenjacht, naar een feestje onder de kersenbloesems en naar een herberg op een eiland. Allebei zoeken ze elkaars toenadering, terwijl ze die op hetzelfde moment ontvluchten – Sensei door de herinneringen aan zijn vrouw, die hem jaren geleden verliet, en Tsukiko door afspraakjes te maken met mannen van haar eigen leeftijd. Terwijl de dagen rustig voortkabbelen, weten Sensei en Tsukiko echter het leeftijdsverschil te overstijgen en de droefheid in elkaars hart te verlichten.
