Leere Flieger, sinkende Buchungszahlen – seit Donald Trump in den USA an der Macht ist, wollen weniger Menschen Urlaub im Land machen. Viele empören sich über den Regierungsstil Trumps. Auch bei Urlaubszielen wie der Türkei oder Italien fragen sich offenbar mehr Menschen, ob es moralisch vertretbar ist, in diese autokratisch bzw. rechtspopulistisch regierten Länder zu reisen. Sind diese Bedenken angemessen? Gibt es überhaupt so etwas wie legitime Motive zu reisen?

Robert Thomas Christgau (/ˈkrɪstɡaʊ/ KRIST-gow; born April 18, 1942) is an American music journalist and essayist. Among the most influential music critics,[1][2] he began his career in the late 1960s as one of the earliest professional rock critics and later became an early proponent of musical movements such as hip hop, riot grrrl, and the import of African popular music in the West.[2] He was the chief music critic and senior editor for The Village Voice for 37 years, during which time he created and oversaw the annual Pazz & Jop critics poll. He has also covered popular music for Esquire, Creem, Newsday, Playboy, Rolling Stone, Billboard, NPR, Blender, and MSN Music; he was a visiting arts teacher at New York University.[3] CNN senior writer Jamie Allen has called Christgau "the E. F. Hutton of the music world—when he talks, people listen."[4]Christgau is best known for his terse, letter-graded capsule album reviews, composed in a concentrated, fragmented prose style featuring layered clauses, caustic wit, one-liner jokes, political digressions, and allusions ranging from common knowledge to the esoteric.[5] His writing is often informed by leftist politics (particularly feminism[6] and secular humanism). He has generally favored song-oriented musical forms and qualities of wit and formal rigor, as well as musicianship from uncommon sources.[7]Originally published in his "Consumer Guide" columns during his tenure at The Village Voice from 1969 to 2006, the reviews were collected in book form across three decade-ending volumes–Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Christgau's Record Guide: The '80s (1990), and Christgau's Consumer Guide: Albums of the '90s (2000).[3] Multiple collections of his essays have been published in book form,[3] and a website published in his name since 2001 has freely hosted most of his work.In 2006, the Voice dismissed Christgau after the paper's acquisition by New Times Media. He continued to write reviews in the "Consumer Guide" format for MSN Music, Cuepoint, and Noisey (Vice's music section) where they were published in his "Expert Witness" column[8] until July 2019.[9] In September of the same year, he launched a paid-subscription newsletter called And It Don't Stop, published on the email-newsletter platform Substack and featuring a monthly "Consumer Guide" column, among other writings.[10]PICTURE: By Joe Mabel - This image has been extracted from another file, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=79881980

Essayist, poet, and Yale Review editor Meghan O'Rourke joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk about her recent New York Times piece, “The End of the University as We Know It.” O'Rourke discusses the situation at Columbia University; the Trump administration's attacks on other universities, including the threats to deport international students for participation in pro-Palestine protests; the false notion of the radical college campus; and how the political balance on campuses has actually shifted in recent years. She also reflects on how the Cold War reshaped these institutions and made them national assets; the financial relationship between the university and the state; and why schools can't just spend their endowments. O'Rourke reads from her essay. To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Wegen eines Unfalls im Gravitationssystem stürzt die Erde in die Sonne. Auf der Erde wird es immer heisser. So lautet die Nachricht, die um die Welt geht. Erst wollen das die Menschen gar nicht glauben, man erfreut sich am schönen Wetter. Aber bald wird klar: Vor der Hitze gibt es kein Entkommen. Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will: Samstag, 15.03.2025, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 2 Kultur Charles Ferdinand Ramuz, Schweizer Schriftsteller, Lyriker und Essayist, gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der Schweizer Literatur in französischer Sprache. 1922, als sein Roman mit dem Originaltitel «Présence de la mort» erschien, wusste C. F. Ramuz noch nichts von der Bedrohung der globalen Erwärmung. Die Analogie zwischen aktuellen Szenarien und Ramuz' über hundert Jahre alter Dystopie sind zwar erstaunlich, doch beschreibt «Sturz in die Sonne», wie der Roman in der deutschen Übersetzung heisst, vielmehr die Reaktionen der Menschen auf den drohenden Untergang. Erst wird die Katastrophe verleugnet, die Nachricht wird nicht ernst genommen: «Hier bei uns hat man nicht viel Vorstellungskraft». Die Freude über das schöne Wetter und die üppige Ernte schlägt bald in Angst um. Jeden Tag wird es ein Grad wärmer, und die soziale Ordnung beginnt zu zerfallen. Das Bekannte wird auf einmal unheimlich und das Vertraute tödlich. Es kommt angesichts der Apokalypse zu Ausschweifungen, zu Selbstjustiz und zur Resignation. Dem Schweizer Klangkünstler Stefan Weber ist es gelungen, das rauschhafte Gefühl der Bedrohung und des Untergangs in ein eindrückliches Hörerlebnis zu übertragen. ____________________ Mit: Katja Reinke, Katrin Thurm, Thomas Sarbacher, Vincent Leittersdorf und Gottfried Breitfuss ____________________ Aus dem Französischen von Steven Wyss - Dramaturgie: Lia Schmieder - Hörspielfassung, Aufnahmen, Klangdesign und Regie: Stefan Weber - Produktion: SRF 2025 - Dauer: 55'

Die Debatte mit Ann Kristin Schenten, Tareq Sydiq und Robert Menasse +++ Robert Menasse: "Gewohnheit macht immobil" In Deutschland und in Österreich wurde protestiert. Gegen die "Parteien der Mitte". Gegen die Union bzw. gegen die ÖVP. Denn beide Parteien haben sich in Allianzen mit teils rechtsextremen Kräften geübt. In Deutschland, indem die Union es ermöglichte, dass erstmals ein Antrag im Deutschen Bundestag mit Stimmen der AfD angenommen wurde. In Österreich, weil dort die konservative Partei ÖVP Verhandlungen über eine zukünftige Regierung mit der rechtsnationalen FPÖ geführt hat. Die Verhandlungen sind mittlerweile geplatzt. Die Empörung war trotzdem zumindest in Teilen der Gesellschaft groß - in Deutschland hält sie an. Doch in Meinungsumfragen spiegelt sich das kaum wieder. Wer geht auf die Straße? Wie nachhaltig sind die Proteste? Ist die Mehrheit der Menschen schon zu geübt darin, die gewohnten Zustände einfach hinzunehmen - sogar, wenn es um Faschismus geht? Eine Debatte über die Protestkultur in Deutschland und Österreich.+++ Die Sendung wurde am 12.02.2025, 9 Uhr aufgezeichnet, bevor die Koalitionsgespräche zwischen ÖVP und FPÖ scheiterten.+++ Tareq Sydiq ist Protestforscher am Zentrum für Konfliktforschung in Marburg. 2024 erschien sein Buch „Die neue Protestkultur.

Comics will mend your heart. That's the energy we're taking into the new year and the thought we carried as we assembled The Stampies, our end-of-the-year award show celebrating The Best Comics of 2024 - ahem - (Part One). Over the last six years, we've turned to comics to understand ourselves and the world around us better. They've guided us through tumultuous times, and we know we'll need them even more in the coming months and years. Our award show is very much OUR award show. We have peculiar tastes, and our favorite comics reflect that. Some categories stuck around from last year's ceremony, but with this episode in particular, you'll find several new ones, also. Next week's Part Two will be stacked with the more traditional Best Original Graphic Novel, Best Limited Series, Best Ongoing, etc. For The Best Comics of 2024 (Part One), we get a little more cutesy with Best New Superhero and Best Murder Mystery, plus categories like Best First Issue and Best Single Issue. As has become tradition, we've asked our friends in journalism and podcasting to name their favorite books of the year. New to our 2024 celebrations, however, we've also asked a few retailers and comic book creators to contribute their favorite books. If you want to be spoiled about who will be guest-starring in today's podcast, scroll below. Please thank them by following their work and social media handles (and letting them know how much you enjoyed their contributions to the podcast). 2024 was another banger of a year regarding comics. Highlighting our favorites was more challenging than ever. The Stampies contain sixteen categories, with a few extra surprise categories tossed in during next week's show. That's simply not enough space to name all "the best" books from the year. So, keep your eyes trained on the Comic Book Couples Counseling website. At the very end of the year, we'll unleash our massive 50 Best Comics of 2024 list. The Best Comics of 2023 (Part One) Category Timestamps:  Best Comic Book Couple - 12:14 Best Murder Mystery - 18:18 Best New Superhero - 25:54 Best Adaptation - 32:29 Best Collaboration - 40:07 Best Short Story - 47:33 Best First Issue - 56:43 Best Single Issue - 1:05:05 The Best Comics of 2023 (Part One) Guest-Stars:  Erik C.

Interweaving academic criticism with journalistic essays, it presents a thoughtful challenge to popular narratives surrounding recent US events such as the Black Lives Matter movement, the death of George Floyd and other police killings, and cases of White vigilantism, arguing that the maintenance of capitalism increasingly requires the manufactured consent of the conquered. Essayist/performer Too Black and geographer Rasul A. Mowatt assert Black Rage as a threat to the flow of capital, which must therefore be conquered by laundering, defined as a process of: - Incubation via the State, which places rage in circulation by setting both the oppressive conditions for its expression and seeding contradictions for it to be cleaned. - Labour, which sets mass uprisings in motion, layers the narcissistic rage of the Black elite over the illegal, militant rage of the masses to conceal class interests and collapse labour into capital. - Commodification, in which the now-laundered Black Rage is integrated within the State, ready to be withdrawn as a labour-crushed commodity to be bought, sold, or repressed by White capital. Entwining histories of Black resistance throughout the diaspora, State building under capitalism, cities as sites of laundering, and the world making of empire, Laundering Black Rage also lays the groundwork for upending the process through an anti-colonial struggle of reverse-laundering conquest. Relevant to studies of race and culture, history, politics, and the built environment, this pathbreaking work is essential reading for scholars and activists engaged at the intersection of critiquing capitalism and combating systemic racism"-- Too Black is a low-wage worker, poet, organizer, and filmmaker. As a poet, Too Black has headlined the historic Nuyorican Poets Café, Princeton University, and Johannesburg Theater in South Africa. His words have appeared in publications such as Black Agenda Report, Left Voice, Indianapolis Recorder, and Hood Communist. He is also the co-director of the award-winning documentary The Pendleton 2: They Stood Up. Rasul A. Mowatt is a son of Chicago and a subject of empire, while dwelling within notions of statelessness, settler colonial mentality, and anti-capitalism. Rasul also functions in the State as a Department Head in the College of Natural Resources, as an Interim Department Head in the Division of Academic and Student Affairs, and as an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at North Carolina State University.

Send us a textHi, and welcome to The Bookshop Podcast! In this episode, I chat with Joyce Carol Oates about the 2024 republication of her novel Broke Heart Blues by Akashic Books. We explore how nostalgia and adolescent pressures shape her storytelling, with John Reddy Hart at the center—a character in Broke Heart Blues who encapsulates the dual nature of high school fame and the journey from family protector to solitary adult. Joyce lends her unique perspective, rooted in her rural upbringing and experience navigating more affluent circles, to reflect on how external perceptions often clash with self-view.Venture into the enigmatic isolations of celebrity life with insights into iconic figures like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley. Joyce shares her reflections on how these stars were often imprisoned by their fame, becoming reflections of their public personas. We also discuss the intricacies of adapting Joyce's novel Blonde into a film, the interconnected worlds of friendship, fashion, the arts, and her friendship with Gloria Vanderbilt.I ask Joyce about teaching, an anchor amidst the creative whirlwind that emerges as a profound pillar of her life. She explains how teaching balances the uncertainties of writing with the gratifying structure of education. This episode celebrates a life committed to the arts, creativity, and the ever-evolving landscape of expression.Joyce Carol OatesPurchase in AustraliaBroke Heart BluesPurchase in the USBroke Heart BluesSupport the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

Sheryl Sandberg released her bestselling book, “Lean In,” ten years ago sparking a movement among professional women to pursue leadership roles at work. A new study by consulting firm McKinsey found that while women now hold more of the top jobs than ever before, they still lag far behind men, and Black and Latina women have an even harder time moving up the ranks. Despite some progress, women still face bias in the workplace and more caregiving responsibilities at home than men, among other challenges. We'll talk about the barriers keeping women out of management, what makes a difference in helping women advance and the impact the Lean In movement has had on you.

Telling stories about your life feels fraught. How do you weave together a story that is deeply personal to you and others, contains the right amount of tension without being too dramatic, and feels both gripping and accessible for your audience? In the case of our guest today, Nat Eliason, his story is about the moment he went from investing hundreds of dollars to having $10 million of his own money on the line, plus more than $100 million of others under his purview, when the whole system was hacked.Nat recently published his first book, “Crypto Confidential: Winning and Losing Millions in the New Frontier of Finance,” and in this episode, he dissects the choices he made writing his prologue (which he shared with more than 20 people to get right).Together, Jay and Nat dissect Nat's thrilling story, unpacking how he grounded the drama, making it feel authentic and relatable, while still embracing the primacy and recency effects in storytelling. Plus, they discuss strategies for getting more valuable feedback on your creative work, Nat's decision to focus on such a dramatic moment for his prologue, and how to effectively combine educational or technical concepts into a story in a way that doesn't lose or bore readers.Whether you are an aspiring author, give keynotes, write articles, or record multimedia content, this episode will make you look a bit closer at how your favorite stories are told—from the very first hook to a perfectly placed detail to the closing line that makes you realize that although the story was specific … it was profoundly universal.Resources:⚫ Follow Nat on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nateliason/⚫  Follow Nat on X: https://x.com/nateliason⚫ Visit Nat's website: https://www.nateliason.com/⚫ Subscribe to Nat's Substack: https://blog.nateliason.com/

After a somewhat wobbly start, Harris seized the momentum with a visceral, deeply affecting answer about the consequences of the GOP's assault on abortion rights, then baited Trump into a rambling rant about the size of his crowds. He never really recovered, and spent much of the rest of the debate running his mouth about the debunked story of Haitian immigrants stealing and eat pets in Ohio or claiming that Harris was responsible for every policy of the Biden administration. What did we learn about the candidates and their priorities? Did Harris break with Biden in any significant ways? What does the Trump-Vance obsession with immigrants reveal about their campaign?

We discuss how the infrastructure of an automobile dependent society shapes our perception of nature and built environments, and in turn how we relate and move through it. I asked her about her more expansive view of walking and walkability, and how getting lost is good for our brains and souls. And near the later half of our time together, Antonia talks about her decision to ditch smartphones and social media, and how the creeping demands of our digital lives relate to her broader focus on enclosure, property, and reclaiming the commons. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/antonia-malchik // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast

And their job today is to convince Aminatou Sow to pick their preferred format. Maris loves that audiobooks allow her to multitask and thinks the reading experience can be enhanced when an author reads their own work aloud. Josh loves being forced to only focus on the words when he's reading a book and wants to interpret the works for himself without someone else's performance influencing him. Aminatou must consider the arguments on both sides and declare a winner in the battle between audiobooks and paper books.   Follow Maris @mariskreizman on X and Instagram and Josh @joshgondelman on X and Instagram.   Keep up with Aminatou Sow @aminatou on Instagram and X.

Essayist and author Antonia Malchik joins me in this wandering, expansive discussion, touching on subjects at the heart of her writings and 2019 book, A Walking Life, and her upcoming book, No Trespassing. We discuss how the infrastructure of an automobile dependent society shapes our perception of the nature and built environments, and in turn how we relate and move through it. I asked her about her more expansive view of walking and walkability, and how getting lost is good for our brains. And near the later half of our time together, Antonia talks about her decision to ditch smartphones and social media, and how the creeping demands of our digital lives relate to her broader focus on enclosure, property, and reclaiming the commons. // Support the work and listen to the full interview: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness

I remember when I was a kid that we'd sometime encounter people who just seemed to go off for no reason, and my mama would lean in an tell us, "That one woke up with hell in 'em this morning!" These many years later, I think of what she said because it seems a whole lot of people are waking up that way. The social graces we once took for granted in terms of how we treat other have fallen away and been replaced with an anger and argumentativeness that's always on. How'd this happen and what, if anything, can we do about it? Well, that's what we're getting after today in my conversation with Jeannette, who spent a decade as an investigative reporter, then another as staff writer for a city magazine, winning multiple national awards. She is now a staff writer for The Common Reader, a journal of the essay, and her work has twice been cited in Jeannette spent a decade as an investigative reporter, then another as staff writer for a city magazine, winning multiple national awards.

If you believe in big-picture media like ours, help us stay on-air through the year. People rely on our reporting and we are committed to keep going. Are you committed too? Make a contribution at our website today and do your part to give voters the news they need.  We're in the midst of our May Day to Memorial Day membership drive.  We're asking you to join us in raising $25,000. Thanks for listening and thanks for your continued support. It is a cliché to say that the richest corporate media operate inside a bubble of their own making, but it's largely true. Today's guests are breathing new life into the world of journalism by covering people, places and perspectives beyond the conventional enclaves of power. On this month's Meet the BIPOC Press, Laura Flanders is joined by Chenjerai Kumanyika, a professor at NYU and prolific audio journalist, host of podcasts including “Empire City” and “Uncivil”. Neesha Powell-Ingabire is Director of Popular Education at Press On, a Southern media collective dedicated to movement journalism, and the author of a new memoir, “Come By Here”. And Mary Annaïse Heglar is an essayist covering climate, podcaster, and author of the novel “Troubled Waters” and a book for children, “The World Is Ours To Cherish”. Together they discuss the campus encampments in solidarity with Palestine, intergenerational work to stop the climate crisis, the question of objectivity and context, and how movement journalism is — or isn't — traditional journalism. How do we break media bubbles? Join us for that conversation.“Movement journalism is journalism that is in service of liberation . . . We are very intentional about historically oppressed communities. Folks from those communities should be doing reporting on those communities and building relationships with community members and organizers on the ground.” - Neesha Powell-Ingabire“. . . Look at the history of the Black press. We didn't have the luxury to report and somehow separate that from advocacy. When you have people reporting while slavery is still legal, all kinds of Black people are being targeted in various kinds of violence. We have a long tradition of advocacy journalism.” - Chenjerai Kumanyika“Nothing has made me feel less optimistic about climate change and our ability to stop it, to mitigate it, to deal with it than the genocide and Gaza. If we cannot come together to say that is wrong and that should stop, then I have so little faith in our ability to stop ecocide.” - Mary Annaïse HeglarGuests:•.
