Think Muttersprache! for Craig Owens

Mothertongue opposes Richter's painterly reinvention of the death of Baader-Meinhof-Ensslin Mothertongue disdains Camille Paglia's screwing of powerful people Mothertongue despises Picasso's expressive egotistical behavior Mothertongue rejects Ulrike Meinhof's giving up her twins in the name of the revolution Mothertongue loathes Agamemnon's sacrifice of his daughter Iphigenie Mothertongue repudiates Bread and Puppet sixties girlie-beige aesthetics Mothertongue scorns Althusser's murder of his wife Mothertongue decries Foucault's desire for never-ending death Mothertongue hates Gudrun Ensslin's love for Andreas Baader
