    Springtime for Snowflakes: 'Social Justice' and Its Postmodern Parentage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 320min
    Springtime for Snowflakes: 'Social Justice' and Its Postmodern Parentage is a daring and candid memoir. NYU Professor Michael Rectenwald - the notorious @AntiPCNYUProf - illuminates the obscurity of postmodern theory to track down the ideas and beliefs that spawned the contemporary social justice creed and movement. In fast-paced creative non-fiction, Rectenwald begins by recounting how his Twitter capers and media exposure met with the swift and punitive response of NYU administrators and fellow faculty members. The author explains his evolving political perspective and his growing consternation with social justice developments while panning the treatment he received from academic colleagues and the political left.The memoir is the story of an education, a debriefing, as well as an entertaining and sometimes humorous romp through academia and a few corners of the author's personal life. The memoir includes early autobiographical material to provide context for Rectenwald's academic, political, and personal development and even surprises with an account of his apprenticeship, at age 19, with the poet Allen Ginsberg.Unlike many examinations of postmodern theory, Springtime for Snowflakes is a first-person, insider narrative. Likening his testimony to that of an anthropologist who has gone native and returned, the author recalls his graduate education in English departments and his academic career thereafter. In his graduate studies in English and Literary and Cultural Theory/Studies, the author explains, he absorbed the tenets of Marxism, the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory, as well as various esoteric postmodern theories. He connects ideas gleaned there to manifestations in social justice to explain the otherwise inexplicable beliefs and rituals of this religious creed. Altogether, the narrative works to demystify social justice as well as Rectenwald's revolt against it.Proponents of contemporary social justice will find muc ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Remember Me - Lebe den Augenblick
    Tyler Hawkins (Robert Pattinson) ist ein sensibler, aber auch zorniger junger Mann, der den Tod seines Bruders vor einigen Jahren noch nicht verarbeitet hat. Sein Vater Charles (Pierce Brosnan), ein erfolgreicher Geschäftsmann, kommt zwar seinen finanziellen Verpflichtungen nach, ist aber emotional distanziert und praktisch nicht präsent im Leben von Tyler und seiner kleinen Schwester Caroline (Ruby Jerins). Als Tyler in eine Schlägerei gerät, überredet ihn sein Kumpel Aidan (Tate Ellington) mit der Tochter des Polizisten (Chris Cooper) anzubandeln, der ihn verhaftet hat.

Langsam kommen sich die beiden näher - und was zumindest auf Tylers Seite als Albernheit begann, entwickelt sich zu einer tiefen Liebesbeziehung, die auf eine harte Probe gestellt wird...
