{"product_id":"9789042023918","title":"Baader-Meinhof Returns : History and Cultural Memory of German Left-Wing Terrorism (German Monitor)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume is dedicated to the study of artistic and historical documents that recall German left-wing terrorism in the 1970s.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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFourteen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Editions Rodopi B.V.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49709415923960,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":283.96,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9789042023918-1.jpg?v=1783807872","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9789042023918","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
