LITERATURE & CULTURE
Conservative Art, Conservative Notions of Culture
I fell in love with HP fanfic "Toujours Pur" by SnorkackCatcher. It is short, but very powerful.
Summary: Mrs Black watches the Quidditch from her private box and reflects on her disappointing sons, the importance of Black family values, and a certain Chaser for the Kenmare Kestrels ...
Huck Finn and democratic self-making
Transformers 4 is the Greatest Film Ever Made About 21st Century America
100 highlights of Special Collections at Bradford University. I was touched by "Reunion and Reconciliation: The Peace Sculpture" by Josefina de Vasconcellos.
I became intrigued by the description of Ian Mortimer's book "Centuries of Change: Which century saw the most change - and why it matters to us." (Haven't read it yet.)
Loved the movie "Tea With Mussolini." Watch the trailer here.
POLITICS – Past and Present
MY FAVORITE POST: battles over ancient bones and modern identities
The Quiet German: The astonishing rise of Angela Merkel, the most powerful woman in the world.
Ta-Nehisi Coates is a national correspondent at The Atlantic, where he writes about culture, politics, and social issues. (If you're interested in the issue of race in America and/or simply want to discover a good columnist.)
The World's Most Toxic Value System
the forgotten roots of the first world war
MISC.
How air conditioning remade modern America
Science once communicated in a polyglot of tongues, but now English rules alone. How did this happen – and at what cost?
