Description of the Project
|
The historiographical study analyzes a reciprocal Politics of Resentment in the Federal Republic from 1968 onwards. It reconstructs the denunciation of leftwing terrorism as an aftereffect or "excess" of women's liberation - a suspicion broadly voiced by the West German state, various scientists and scholars, as well as the media, throughout the 1970ies. The first volume retraces the development of this hypothesis, which expeditiously evolved into an argument and was then handled as certainty for a while, before eventually disappearing in the early 1980ies. The second volume reverses the perspective and deals with the reception of questions relating to sex and sexuality in the underground, by investigating the history of terrorist organizations and exemplary biographies. Particular attention is given to anti-Zionism - which the study considers to be a repressed part of both the "armed struggle" and the Federal Republic - and its ties to sex morals. Finally, the dissertation examines the reverberation of the aforementioned debate in the memorial culture of the present. |
