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

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

“At first I thought contradiction was always a relational thing; but the more I ponder it, the more I think contradiction creates relation.”
