- Description
- In the early 1970s, a number of West German left-wing activists took up arms, believing that revolution would lead to social change. This publication questions the separation of political violence from feminist politics and offers a new understanding of left-wing female terrorists’ actions as feminist practices that challenged existing gender ideologies. The author draws on archival sources, unpublished letters, and interviews with former activists to paint an interdisciplinary picture of West Germany’s most notorious political group, the Red Army Faction (der Rote Armee Fraktion (RAF)).

- Description
- West Germany's terrorist period of the 1970s is still a fascinating subject. One of the most provocative aspects is the high proportion of women involved in terrorism, most notoriously Ulrike Meinhof. That media concentrate on Ulrike Meinhof's life and mobilize established paradigms of femininity in its representation of her (as -mother- and -hysterical woman-) suggests that the combination of women and violence is still threatening and that there is still mileage to be hadfrom feminizing the discourse. This study returns to the West German print media of the 1960s and 1970s and raises questions about the continuing preoccupation with this period. Looking at publications from the right-wing Bild to the liberal Der Spiegel-, it explores how violent women - not only terrorists but also others such as the convicted murderer and media femme fatale Vera Bruhne - were represented in text and image.

- Description
- This book is the first attempt to present a comprehensive picture of LGBT culture in the two German states in the 1970s. Starting from the common view of the decade between the moderation of the German anti-sodomy law in 1968 (East) and 1969 (West) and the first documented case of AIDS (1982) as a ‘golden age’ for queer politics and culture, this edited collection traces the way this impression has been shaped by cultural production. Exploring the complex picture of gay, lesbian and – to a lesser extent – trans cultures from this time, the volume provides insights into both canonized and marginalized texts and films from and about the decade.
