Politics and culture were inextricably linked in the West German “1968,” not only because young avant-gardes drew as much from radical artistic traditions as from political ones, but because in a range of areas – from literature and publishing to music performance and production, to the visual arts to the underground press – the revolt was as much a matter of cultural production as of political organization. Recovering lost traditions from the revolutionary past while drawing on the ideas, texts, and tactics of the global present, activists forged transnational connections while imagining themselves into various forms of global community. Understanding the West German revolt not just in terms of key events, but in terms of underlying principles, this essay sheds new light on a key episode in recent German history while laying out the terms of a broader conversation about “1968” in which scholars of different national cases or disciplines can take part
