Afterimages of its leaders persist in the works of pivotal artists and writers, including Gerhard Richter, Elfriede Jelinek, and Slavoj Žižek. Why were women so prominent in the RAF? What does the continuing cultural response to the German armed struggle tell us about the representation of violence, power, and gender today? Engaging critical theory, Charity Scribner addresses these questions and analyzes signal works that point beyond militancy and terrorism. This literature and art discloses the failures of the Far Left and registers the radical potential that RAF women actually forfeited. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfter the Red Army Faction\u003c\/i\u003e maps out a cultural history of militancy and introduces \"postmilitancy\" as a new critical term. As Scribner demonstrates, the most compelling examples of postmilitant culture don't just repudiate militancy: these works investigate its horizons of possibility, particularly on the front of sexual politics. Objects of analysis include as-yet untranslated essays by Theodor Adorno and Jürgen Habermas, as well as novels by Friedrich Dürrenmatt and Judith Kuckart, Johann Kresnik's \u003ci\u003eTanztheaterstück Ulrike Meinhof\u003c\/i\u003e, and the blockbuster exhibition \u003ci\u003eRegarding Terror\u003c\/i\u003e at the Berlin Kunst-Werke. Scribner focuses on German cinema, offering incisive interpretations of films by Margarethe von Trotta, Volker Schlöndorff, and Fatih Akin, as well as the international box-office success \u003ci\u003eThe Baader-Meinhof Complex\u003c\/i\u003e. These readings disclose dynamic junctures among several fields of inquiry: national and sexual identity, the disciplining of the militant body, and the relationship between mass media and the arts.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharity Scribner is an associate professor at the City University of New York, where she teaches comparative literature at the Graduate Center and LaGuardia Community College.
