articulate

“Contradictions need to be articulated in order to exist.”

Martin Nonhoff
power and resistance

“Michel Foucault says: “Where there is power, there is resistance, and […] this resistance is never in a position of exteriority in relation to power” (History of Sexuality I, The Will to Knowledge, 1976, p. 95)”

Gisela Febel
driver

“Contradictions are an important driver of scientific practice and knowledge.”

Norman Sieroka
space

“According to Niklas Luhmann, space is a ‘special facility to negate contradictions’”.

Julia Lossau
