Everybody Talks About the Weather . . . We Don't

The Writings of Ulrike Meinhof

By: Ulrike Meinhof

No other figure embodies revolutionary politics and radical chic quite like Ulrike Meinhof, who formed, with Andreas Baader and Gudrun Ensslin, the Red Army Faction (RAF), also known as the Baader–Meinhof Gang, notorious for its bombings and kidnappings of the wealthy in the 1970s. But in the years leading up to her leap into the fray, Meinhof was known throughout Europe as a respected journalist, who informed and entertained her loyal readers with monthly magazine columns. What impels someone to abandon middle-class privilege for the sake of revolution? In the 1960s, Meinhof began to see the world in increasingly stark terms: the United States was emerging as an unstoppable superpower, massacring a tiny country overseas despite increasingly popular dissent at home; and Germany appeared to be run by former Nazis. Never before translated into English, Meinhof's writings show a woman increasingly engaged in the major political events and social currents of her time. In her introduction, Karin Bauer tells Meinhof's mesmerizing life story and her political coming-of-age; Nobel Prize–winning author Elfriede Jelinek provides a thoughtful reflection on Meinhof's tragic failure to be heard; and Meinhof ’s daughter—a relentless critic of her mother and of the Left—contributes an afterword that shows how Meinhof's ghost still haunts us today.

Worlds in Common?

Television Discourses in a Changing Europe

By: Ulrike H. Meinhof,Kay Richardson

Worlds in Common? examines the newly emerging forms of language used in satellite television programmes, exploring a wide range of genres including twenty-four hour news broadcasting, culture channels, talk shows, local TV and European news. Focusing on the experiences of British and German viewers, the authors discuss these new forms of communication brought about by the technological and economic upheavals in Europe in the late 1990s. This interaction between media theories and media discourses, makes the book highly relevant for researchers in media and cultural studies as well as linguistics, and provides an important and innovatory link between these different approaches.

Bambule: Das Regiebuch

Einführung: Clemens von Wedemeyer(dOCUMENTA (13): 100 Notes - 100 Thoughts, 100 Notizen - 100 Gedanken # 092)

By: Ulrike Meinhof

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.

Historical Dictionary of Berlin

By: Ulrike Zitzlsperger

After World War II Berlin became one of the playgrounds of the Cold War; the Berlin Wall made the division between East and West, between ‘capitalism’ and ‘communism’ in 1961 highly visible, though it did remove Berlin from front-line politics. East and West Berlin had turned into shop-windows of ideologies – West Berlin representing the lure of a market economy, East Berlin the promise of socialism. It is, then, fitting that the fall of the Wall in 1989 awarded Berlin such a prominent role. It was here that the development after Reunification of East and West became a closely observed event – and, well beyond Germany, Berlin appeared to represent fundamental developments throughout Europe at the time. Today, Berlin is the capital of reunified Germany and therefore one of the key political players in the European Union (EU) and it’s now a desirable destination for young entrepreneurs. The Historical Dictionary of Berlin contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 300 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, places, institutions, and events. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Berlin.
