    Alienated America: Why Some Places Thrive While Others Collapse , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 625min
    Respected conservative journalist and commentator Timothy P. Carney continues the conversation begun with Hillbilly Elegy and the classic Bowling Alone in this hard-hitting analysis that identifies the true factor behind the decline of the American dream: It is not purely the result of economics as the left claims, but the collapse of the institutions that made us successful, including marriage, church, and civic life. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump proclaimed, “the American dream is dead”, and this message resonated across the country. Why do so many people believe the American dream is no longer within reach? Growing inequality, stubborn pockets of immobility, rising rates of deadly addiction, the increasing and troubling fact that where you start determines where you end up, heightening political strife - these are the disturbing realities threatening ordinary American lives today. The standard accounts pointed to economic problems among the working class, but the root was a cultural collapse: While the educated and wealthy elites still enjoy strong communities, most blue-collar Americans lack strong communities and institutions that bind them to their neighbors. And outside of the elites, the central American institution has been religion. That is, it’s not the factory closings that have torn us apart; it’s the church closings. The dissolution of our most cherished institutions - nuclear families, places of worship, civic organizations - has not only divided us, but eroded our sense of worth, belief in opportunity, and connection to one another. In Alienated America, Carney visits all corners of America, from the dim country bars of Southwestern Pennsylvania, to the bustling Mormon wards of Salt Lake City, and explains the most important data and research to demonstrate how the social connection is the great divide in America. He shows that Trump’s surprising victory was the most ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Constant. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/harp/008458/bk_harp_008458_sample.mp3.

    Berghain, Techno und die Körperfabrik
    »Morgen ist die Frage«: so steht es auf dem Banner, das seit dem Lockdown an der imposanten Fassade des Berghains hängt. Der berühmte Techno-Club in Berlin Friedrichshain ist wegen der Pandemie vorübergehend in ein Museum verwandelt worden. Was bedeutet diese Entwicklung für Berlin? Was, wenn die von Gentrifizierung und Gesundheitskrise bedrohten Clubs zu Museen würden? Das Berghain ist in der Techno-Kultur eine Weltreferenz und pflegt sein Mysterium. Es rüttelt an den Normen und bricht mit dem üblichen Zeitablauf: so wird der Tag zur Nacht und der Montag - der Tag des Closings - zum Ruhetag, während den TänzerInnen am Sonntag die Puste ausgeht. In einer Ethnographie des Stammpublikums erforscht Guillaume Robin die Techno-Szene als Ort der Befreiung der Körper. Inwieweit erlaubt es dieser 'andere Ort' im Sinne Foucaults, uns von sozialen Normen und Geschlechterrollen zu befreien? Was steckt hinter dem Verlangen nach Ekstase und Exzess? An der Schnittstelle von Kulturgeschichte und Körperanthropologie taucht die Studie in die körperliche Erfahrung des Berghains ein -Techno als Modus des Resist-Dance, aber auch als Ort der Selbstdisziplin und Überwachung.

    Grind Joint , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 426min
    A new casino is opening in the rural town of Penns River, Pennsylvania but just where the money is coming from no one really knows. Is it Daniel Hecker, bringing hope to a mill town after years of plant closings? Or is the town's salvation really an opening for Mike The Hook Mannarino’s Pittsburgh mob to move part of their action down state? Or could it be someone even worse? When the body of a drug dealer is dumped on the casino steps shortly before its grand opening, Detectives Ben Doc Dougherty and Willie Grabek have to survive their department’s own inner turmoil and figure out not only who’s behind the murder, but also what it means to whoever is behind the operation itself. Between the cops, the mob, and the ex-spook in charge of casino security Daniel Rollison, a man with more secrets than anyone will ever know Grind Joint is a mesmerizing mix of betrayal, police action, small town politics, sudden violence and the lives of the people of a town just trying to look after itself. ungekürzt.
