Notes

1. Without, however, ever referring precisely to ‘queer theories’.

2. Lee Edelman, No Future. Queer Theory and the Death Drive (Durham and London: Duke University Press, 2004).

1. The selection was made from Die Würde des Menschen ist antastbar: Aufsätze und Polemiken and Deutschland Deutschland Unter Anderm: Aufsätze und Polemiken (both from Berlin: Verlag Klaus Wagenbach, 1995).

2. Der Sozialistische Deutsche Studentenbund (The Socialist German Student Union) was founded in 1946 and disbanded in 1970. The first quote is by the SDS president Karl Dietrich Wolff's speech at the Vietnam Congress, West Berlin, February 1968 with more than 5,000 people attending and seen as inaugurating the student movement; from Wolfgang Kraushaar, Frankfurter Schule und Studentbewegung: Von der Flaschenpost zum Molotowcocktail 1946 bis 1995, vol. 1 (Hamburg: Rogner & Bernhard, 1998), p.298. The second quote is by Gudrun Ensslin, RAF leader; from Gerd Koenen, Das rote Jahrzehnt: Unsere kleine deutsche Kulturrevolution 1967–77 (Cologne: Kiepenheuer & Witsch, 2001), p.383.

3. Ulrike Meinhof, ‘Shadows of the Summit Pointing West’ [1960], pp.101–09 and ‘New German Ghetto Show’ [1960], pp.110–20. The latter discusses the booklet The Red Book (Rotbuch) published in 1960 by the so‐called ‘Save the Peace’ committee aiming to unmask the Communist infiltration and providing name lists of possible suspects.

4. Quoted in Mario Krebs, Ulrike Meinhof (Reinbek: Rowohlt, 1988), p.149.

5. Bettina Röhl, ‘Icon of the Left, Propagandist, and Communist’, Afterword, pp.256–63 (pp.257–58; p. 261).

6. Ulrike Meinhof, ‘The Hitler within You’ [1961], pp.138–42 (pp.141–42). Franz Josef Strauss (1915–1988) was Federal Minister for Special Affairs under Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, Federal Minster of Nuclear Energy in 1955 and Defence Minster between 1956–1962 (Karin Bauer, ‘Introduction’, note 19, p.95). Strauss brought a libel suit against Meinhof and konkret for this article, which never went to trial because the court in Hamburg found no substance to the claim (original note, p.142).

7. See Roland Barthes, ‘Myth Today’, in Mythologies [1957], trans. Jonathan Cape (London: Vintage, 2000), pp.109–59 (p.117). Original emphasis.

8. Ulrike Meinhof, ‘Counter‐Violence’ [1968], pp.234–38 (p.235).

9. Regarding the former, more than 45,000 people demonstrated in many cities and the SDS declared Dutschke's assassination attempt the result of a systematic hate campaign against progressive and democratic forces by the Berlin Senate and Springer Press where headlines such as ‘Stop Dutschke Now’ circulated by its neo‐fascist Deutsche Nationale Zeitung. Regarding the latter, the press reported the protesters' throwing pudding during Humphrey's visit as an ‘assassination attempt’; Karin Bauer, ‘Introduction’, p.48 and note 1, p.232.

10. See Ulrike Meinhof, ‘Water Cannons: Against Women, Too’ [1968], pp.214–23 and ‘Napalm and Pudding’ [1967], pp.229–33.

11. Ulrike Meinhof, ‘File Number XY: Dissolved’ [1968], pp.224–28 (p.228).

12. Ulrike Meinhof, ‘Columnism’ [1968], pp.249–54 (pp.249–50; p.253).

13. Ulrike Meinhof, ‘From Protest to Resistance’, [1968], pp.239–43 (p.240).
