Introduction --[Sarah Colvin and Katharina Karcher] -- PART I: On The (Gendered) Political Legitimacy of Violence -- 1. On the Legitimacy of Violence as a Political Act: Hannah Arendt, Susan Sontag, Ulrike Meinhof and Bernadine Dohrn --[Ingrid Gilcher-Holtey] -- 2. Deeds Not Words! A Comparative Analysis of Feminist Militancy in Pre- and Post-1968 Europe [Katharina Karcher] -- 3. But What about our Fury? Political Violence as Feminist Practice [Patricia Melzer] -- PART II: Creative Resistance -- 4. 1968, Take Two: The Militancy of Nina Simone [Charity Scribner] -- 5. Women, Words and Images, 1968: Textual/Sexual Politics in Helke Sanders The Subjective Factor [Mererid Puw Davies] -- 6. Aesthetic Motions of Resistance in Feminist Creative Work[Carrie Smith] -- PART III: The Contradictions and Limits of Emancipatory Violence -- 7. Aggression and Peaceability: Masculine Drives and Feminist Visions in the Writings of Alexander Mitscherlich and Margarete Mitscherlich-Nielsen [Barbara Becker-Cantarino] -- 8. Serious Harm to Bodies: Contradictions of Anti-Masculinist Violence in the 1970s --[Julian Bourg] -- 9. Anti, Anti, Anti! Counterviolence and Anti-Sexism in Hamburgs Autonomous Rote Flora [Ali Jones]
This volume presents and interrogates both theoretical and artistic expressions of the revolutionary, militant spirit associated with "1968" and the aftermath, in the specific context of gender. The contributors explore political-philosophical discussions of the legitimacy of violence, the gender of aggression and peaceability, and the contradictions of counter violence; but also women's artistic and creative interventions, which have rarely been considered. Together the chapters provide and provoke a wide-ranging rethink of how we read not only "1968" but more generally the relationship between gender, political violence, art and emancipation. This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of protest and violence in the fields of history, politics and international relations, sociology, cultural studies, and women's studies.
