It is intended to contribute to a better understanding of this violent epoch in Germany’s recent past and the many ways it is remembered.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe cultural memory of the RAF past is a useful device to disentangle the complex relationship between terror and the arts. This bond has become a particularly pressing matter in an era of a new, so-called global terrorism when the culture industry is obviously fascinated with terror.\u003cbr\u003e\nFourteen scholars of visual cultures and contemporary literature offer in-depth investigations into the artistic process of engaging with West Germany’s era of political violence in the 1970s. The assessments are framed by two essays from historians: one looks back at the previously ignored anti-Semitic context of 1970s terrorism, the other offers a thought-provoking epilogue on the extension of the so-called Stammheim syndrome to the debate on the treatment of prisoners in Guantánamo Bay. The contributions on cultural memory argue that any future memory of German left-wing terrorism will need to acknowledge the inseparable bond between terror and the artistic response it produces.","brand":"Gerrit-Jan Berendse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48310668886267,"sku":"9789042023918","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_1931d126-96f7-421c-83cd-b153989dec8b.jpg?v=1777503746","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/baader-meinhof-returns-9789042023918","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
