In der Abhandlung wird der Stil der Texte aus dem Info-System untersucht. Das Info-System diente den inhaftierten Mitgliedern der RAF in den 1970er Jahren dazu, der Haftsituation zum Trotz die Kommunikation untereinander aufrechtzuerhalten. Da die in den Info-Texten verwendete Ausdrucksform als Gruppenstil zu kategorisieren ist, wird im Theorieabschnitt der Untersuchung der Forschungsstand zu diesem Stiltyp referiert, bevor ein systemtheoretischer Ansatz zur Erklärung gruppenstilistischer Phänomene entwickelt wird. Dafür wird die luhmannsche Kommunikationstheorie (sozio-)linguistisch reformuliert, indem die von Luhmann genannten kommunikativen Selektionen mit den sprechakttheoretischen Teilakten ins Verhältnis gesetzt werden. Damit wird es möglich, die Bedeutung von Stil für die Anschlussfähigkeit von Kommunikation systemtheoretisch zu erklären. Im Analyseabschnitt werden unter Berücksichtigung der verwendeten Textsorten und mit Hilfe eines über- und intertextuellen Vergleichsverfahrens die Stilelemente ermittelt, die sich zum Gruppenstil der RAF im Info-System synthetisieren. Auf Grundlage der detaillierten Beschreibung der Stilstruktur werden Sinnzuschreibungen formuliert, die u.a. die revolutionäre Sprachgewalt der RAF thematisieren.

In this first comprehensive comparison of left-wing violence in the United States and West Germany, Jeremy Varon focuses on America's Weather Underground and Germany's Red Army Faction to consider how and why young, middle-class radicals in prosperous democratic societies turned to armed struggle in efforts to overthrow their states. Based on a wealth of primary material, ranging from interviews to FBI reports, this book reconstructs the motivation and ideology of violent organizations active during the 1960's and 1970's. Varon conveys the intense passions of the era--the heat of moral purpose, the depth of Utopian longing, the sense of danger and despair, and the exhilaration over temporary triumphs. Varon's compelling interpretation of the logic and limits of dissent in democratic societies provides striking insights into the role of militancy in contemporary protest movements and has wide implications for the United States' current "war on terrorism."Varon explores Weatherman and RAF's strong similarities and the reasons why radicals in different settings developed a shared set of values, languages, and strategies. Addressing the relationship of historical memory to political action, Varon demonstrates how Germany's fascist past influenced the brutal and escalating nature of the West German conflict in the 60's and 70's, as well as the reasons why left-wing violence dropped sharply in the United States during the 1970's. Bringing the War Home is a fascinating account of why violence develops within social movements, how states can respond to radical dissent and forms of terror, how the rational and irrational can combine in political movements, and finally how moral outrage and militancy can play both constructive and destructive roles in efforts at social change.

In the early 1970s, a number of West German left-wing activists took up arms, believing that revolution would lead to social change. In the years to come, the bombings, shootings, kidnappings and bank robberies of the Red Army Faction (RAF) and Movement 2nd June dominated newspaper headlines and polarized legislative debates. Half of the terrorists declaring war on the West German state were women who understood their violent political actions to be part of their liberation from restrictive gender norms. As women participating in a brand of systematic violence usually associated with masculinity, they presented a cultural paradox, and their political decisions were viewed as gender transgressions by the state, the public, and even the burgeoning women’s movement, which considered violence as patriarchal and unfeminist. Death in the Shape of a Young Girl questions this separation of political violence from feminist politics and offers a new understanding of left-wing female terrorists’ actions as feminist practices that challenged existing gender ideologies. Patricia Melzer draws on archival sources, unpublished letters, and interviews with former activists to paint a fresh and interdisciplinary picture of West Germany’s most notorious political group, from feminist responses to sexist media coverage of female terrorists to the gendered nature of their infamous hunger strikes while in prison. Placing the controversial actions of the Red Army Faction into the context of feminist politics, Death in the Shape of a Young Girl offers an innovative and engaging cultural history that foregrounds how gender shapes our perception of women’s political choices and of any kind of political violence.
