Art And Terror: Vergangenheitsbewältigung In Relation To The Red Army Faction, Joanie Lange
Art And Terror: Vergangenheitsbewältigung In Relation To The Red Army Faction, Joanie Lange
Calvert Undergraduate Research Awards
Advanced Undergraduate Winner
The Red Army Faction, active from 1970-1998, was an infamous West German far-left terrorist group. Its ideology and numerous terrorist acts not only left a lasting impact upon the politics and culture of Germany, but noteworthy is also the fact that the group inspired the creation of countless works of art. This research paper seeks to understand and explain this phenomenon. It argues that the artworks inspired by the RAF are a form of Vergangenheitsbewältigung, a peculiarly German concept “coming to terms with the past,” most often used in relation to fiction and art exploring the …

Calvert Undergraduate Research Awards
This thesis examines the interrelationship between suffering and art in the context of À la recherché du temps perdu by Marcel Proust.

Social Health of Nevada Reports
On October 31, 1864 the Nevada Territory entered the Union as the 36 th state. Because this official designation or recognition took place during the height of the American Civil War, it seemed appropriate to officials that the state motto “Battle Born” be adopted. Over the years the area of land known as Nevada has been called by such interesting and divergent names as Sierra Nevada Territory; Washoe Territory; Carson Territory; Eastern Slope Territory; Humboldt Territory; Esmeralda Territory; Sierra Plata Territory; Oro Plata; and Bullion. Shortly after becoming a state, Nevada adopted two nicknames: the Silver State and …
