Download or read book Bambule Das Regiebuch written by Ulrike Meinhof and published by Hatje Cantz Verlag. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bei Recherchen für seinen Beitrag zur dOCUMENTA (13) stieß der Künstler Clemens von Wedemeyer in der Berliner Akademie der Künste auf das mit handschriftlichen Notizen und Zeichnungen versehene Regiebuch des Regisseurs Eberhard Itzenplitz, auf dessen Basis das Drehbuch von Ulrike Meinhof Bambule. Fürsorge – Sorge für wen? verfilmt wurde. Die geplante Fernsehausstrahlung 1970 wurde gestrichen, da die Journalistin und spätere Mitgründerin der RAF zehn Tage zuvor in den terroristischen Untergrund abgetaucht war. Von Wedemeyers Interesse gilt dem Regiebuch als Filmmaterial, das Arbeitsumfeld, Produktionsprozesse und (Selbst-)Beschränkungen widerspiegelt und in diesem spezifischen Fall der Tatsache, dass es eine Art Zeitkapsel darstellt: Als der Film 24 Jahre später ausgestrahlt wurde, hatte sich die gesellschaftliche Landschaft fundamental gewandelt. Das Regiebuch schließt die zeitliche Lücke und ist Zeugnis der Diskussionen zwischen den Beteiligten. In einem Nachwort beleuchtet Bettina Röhl (*1962), Tochter von Ulrike Meinhof, die Motivation für die Heimkinderkampagnen als politisches Programm. Clemens von Wedemeyer (*1974) ist Künstler und lebt in Berlin. Bettina Röhl (*1962) lebt als Publizistin in Hamburg.

Book excerpt: Salah M. Hassan schlägt in seinem Text eine Neubetrachtung des afrikanischen Marxismus vor, mit der er gleichzeitig eine Befreiung Marx', eines für das 20. Jahrhundert einflussreichsten politischen Denkers, vom Eurozentrismus bezweckt. Während der Entkolonisierung und der Befreiungsbewegung in Afrika und anderen Teilen der Dritten Welt in der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts, die mit den Anfängen der documenta zusammenfielen, wurde die Ideologie des Marxismus zur intellektuellen Leitkultur. Als Beispiele für die Innovationskraft und Kreativität des afrikanischen/schwarzen Marxismus, die in der gegenwärtigen Forschung nur wenig berücksichtigt werden, führt Hassan Texte zweier Schlüsselfiguren zusammen: die politische Verteidigungsrede By Virtue of Marxism, Your Honor (1956) von Abdel Khaliq Mahgoub (1927–1971), dem Gründer der Sudanesischen Kommunistischen Partei, der 1971 zusammen mit anderen führenden Mitgliedern der Partei hingerichtet wurde, sowie den Brief an Maurice Thorez (1956) von Aimé Césaire (1913–2008), dem martiniquinischen Philosophen, Dichter und Kritiker, in dem er die Gründe für seinen späteren Austritt aus der Kommunistischen Partei Frankreichs darlegt. Salah M. Hassan ist Goldwin Smith Professor, Direktor des Institute for Comparative Modernities sowie Professor der African and African Diaspora Art History an der Cornell University in Ithaca, New York; er ist Mitglied des Honorary Advisory Committee der dOCUMENTA (13).

Book Art as Demonstration

Download or read book Art as Demonstration written by Sven Spieker and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How artists wield demonstration to question the status quo both aesthetically and politically, marshaling art and education as powerful agents of change. Demonstration, in short, says: See here. It is the practice of pointing to something in order to explain or contest it. As such, Sven Spieker argues that demonstration has helped reshape art from the height of the Cold War to the late twentieth century, reformatting our understanding of how art and political engagement relate to each other. Focusing on Western Europe (especially Germany), Eastern Europe, and the United States, Art as Demonstration expands on contemporary discussions of art-as-protest, activism, and resistance. Spieker shows how a closer, more historical look at art’s connection with demonstration reconnects us with earlier efforts, notably by the early twentieth-century avant-garde, to marshal art for the purpose of instruction and engagement. Art as Demonstration reconceives the history of postwar art in Eastern and Western Europe from the perspective of demonstration, understood formally (as a technique for showing and pointing) as well as politically (as protest, resistance, etc.). Close analyses of individual artworks reveal how the deployment of demonstration has changed over time. Spieker shows how “protest” and “resistance” organize art and artists not only politically but also and especially formally and aesthetically—a development of particular importance in the Cold War art and politics of Eastern Europe. The book illustrates how from the 1960s onward demonstration radically changed the way artists thought about art: no longer as an object but as a form of education.

This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores representations of the Holocaust in contemporary art practices.

The book?s international focus brings into view film projects made by key artists reflecting critically upon forms of Holocaust memory in a variety of geographical contexts. K‚kesi connects the ethical implications of the memory of the Holocaust with a critical analysis of contemporary societies, focusing upon artists who are deeply engaged in doing both of the above within three regions: Eastern Europe (especially Poland), Germany, and Israel. The case studies apply current methods of contemporary art theory, unfolding their implications in terms of memory politics and social critique.

Book After the Red Army Faction

    Book Details:
  • Author : Charity Scribner
  • Publisher : Columbia University Press
  • Release : 2014-12-16
  • ISBN : 0231538294
  • Pages : 311 pages

Download or read book After the Red Army Faction written by Charity Scribner and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masterminded by women, the Red Army Faction (RAF) terrorized West Germany from the 1970s to the 1990s. Afterimages of its leaders persist in the works of pivotal artists and writers, including Gerhard Richter, Elfriede Jelinek, and Slavoj i ek. 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. After the Red Army Faction 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 Tanztheaterstück Ulrike Meinhof, and the blockbuster exhibition Regarding Terror 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 The Baader-Meinhof Complex. 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.

  • ISBN : 0791494624
  • Pages : 408 pages

Download or read book German Feminism written by Edith H. Altbach and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1984-06-30 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rich, diverse, and complex, this anthology presents the new prose fiction of women from both Germanys and Austria and the working papers of the German women's movement since the late 1960s. The alternation of an inner and outer focus in these selections allows the reader to explore the resonance between political thought and action, and the creative expression of women's own experience. Also invaluable, and exemplary of the vitality of German feminists, is their capacity for self-criticism and theoretical analysis. Two introductory essays give comprehensive overviews of current directions in German feminism and women's literature, with historical background and interpretation. The sequence of chapters interweaves short stories and novel excerpts with essay, reportage and manifesto—in all, more than 50 texts. The literary material is grouped by tone, mood and theme in sections entitled "The Way It Is," "Wo/Man Hating," "Struggles, Visions and Dreams," and "Our Past, Our Future." The "political" material is arranged topically under the headings "Breaking the Silence," "Body Politics," "Reportage and Essay," "Sisterhood," "Motherhood and Housework," "Feminist Strategy," and "Women's Studies." Of assistance to students and scholars are the extensive bibliographic notes in the two introductory essays and in many of the nonliterary texts as well as thoughtful and explanatory chapter introductions and headnotes accompanying each text.
