konkretion (novella)
konkretion stages
in contemporary Paris a dialogue between two women writers grappling with the
relationship of writing, revolution and terror. The contested site is a
dramatic poem sequence by one of the women, re-imagining moments in the lives
of Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin of the Red Army Faction [die Rote Armee
Fraktion]: from Ulrike’s tripwire decision in 1970 to take the ‘leap into
illegitimacy’, through the flight underground, the crimes committed in the name
of ‘armed struggle’, to their conflict-blighted incarceration until 1976. The
work is driven by the question whether a different kind of poetics might have
had led Meinhof and Ensslin to less tragically murderous outcomes and how, in
commemoration, we might avoid romancing the outlaw.
