{"product_id":"a-preciser-baader-meinhof-returns-9789042023918","title":"Baader-Meinhof Returns","description":"This volume is dedicated to the study of artistic and historical documents that recall German left-wing terrorism in the 1970s. 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.\n\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.\n\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":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53140857848150,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9789042023918_1.jpg?v=1781244908","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/a-preciser-baader-meinhof-returns-9789042023918","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
