Svea Bräunert’s glance through the prism of the RAF-spectre}, url={https://journals.ub.uni-giessen.de/kult-online/article/view/981}, DOI={10.22029/ko.2016.981}, abstractNote={<p>Which role does the RAF play for Germans’ self-image? To what extent does left-wing terrorism play part of their cultural history since 1945? How does art mirror this role, becoming a “prism” to make memory’s traumatic structure visible? Svea Bräunert’s attempt to discuss all of these questions as intrinsically connected, leads into a complex analysis of the&nbsp;– especially in Germany&nbsp;– multifaceted relation between present, past, and future. Images distributed by mass media become as much a factor in this approach as does their appropriation and modification through specific artworks. Against this background the RAF no longer appears as a phenomenon of the 1970s and ’80s, but as a spectre of German postwar history up to the present. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p&gt;}, number={47}, journal={KULT_online}, author={Goppelsröder, Fabian}, year={2016}, month={Jul.} }
