prison of difference

“‘Contradiction is the prison of difference‘ writes the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. Worlds of Contradiction asks: how can we explain and describe the world without making it more coherent and systematic than it is?”

Michi Knecht

“Geography as a discipline stands for a certain worlding, if not earthing, of contradiction, in both theoretical and pracitcal respect.”

Julia Lossau

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

Gisela Febel

“Contradiction becomes real where someone names contradiction.”

Ingo H. Warnke
