limits

“Resistance is a democratic right, sometimes a duty. With literature we can find models for this right and think about its limits.”

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
diversity and plurality

“Join us to create more diversity and plurality in knowledge production.”

Gisela Febel
name contradiction

“Contradiction becomes real where someone names contradiction.”
