Terrorism trials are an exceptional opportunity for better understanding and, hence, countering terrorism, since they are often the only place where most if not all of the actors of a terrorist incident meet again, and where the media report and broadcast their respective accounts. Seeing terrorism trials as a stage where legal instruments are used (and abused) to argue the validity of contested political constructs, this study presents a performative perspective to draw attention to the mechanisms and effects of terrorism trials in and outside the courtroom. With a special focus on how the power of these performances may in turn shape new narratives of justice and/or injustice, it offers vital insights into terrorism trials directed involving different types of terrorism suspects, from left-wing to ethno-nationalist and jihadist terrorists, in Spain, Russia, Germany, the Netherlands, and the US.

Destined to rank among the most eloquent and thorough examinations of a major suite of paintings, Gerhard Richter: October 18, 1977 combines a lean, persuasively argued text with an elegantly sober design suited to the subject matter. Richter's 15 black-and-white paintings commemorate the day two leaders of the radical German Baader-Meinhof group, disillusioned men and women in their 30s and early 40s whose loyalty to the dogma of the Red Army Faction had led them to commit numerous terrorist acts, were found dead in their prison cells. Gudrun Ensslin appeared to have hung herself. Andreas Baader had been fatally shot. Jan-Carl Raspe was near death from a bullet wound. Two other members of the group had died in prison earlier in the '70s: Holger Meins after a hunger strike; Ulrike Menihof, by hanging. On the Left, there was widespread suspicion the dead had been murdered. Photographs of the Baader-Meinhof members were ubiquitous in newspapers of the day; their images were as familiar to Germans as machine gun-toting Patty "Tania" Hearst was to Americans. Using photographs as models, Richter painted the dead with a subtle technique--a blurring of certain details and an elegiac use of gray--that calls into question the murkiness of historical "knowledge" and emphasizes the uneasy mixture of compassion and horror evoked by the group's fate. Yet, even though Richter waited until 1988 to paint the series, he was denounced either for glorifying a bunch of killers or for using his international fame to exploit the Left. Author Robert Storr, a curator at MoMA, which now owns the series, answers these arguments by looking systematically at postwar German politics, the tradition of history painting, and the dilemmas and decisions of a leading contemporary painter. --(Cathy Curtis).

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.
