U Bremen GRA 0030

An event by the DFG Research Training Group 2686 “Contradiction Studies –
Constellations, Heuristics, and Concepts of the Contradictory” in cooperation with the
Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences (BIGSSS) and the Research Data Center (RDC) Qualiservice.

Presentations will be in English, but contributions can be made in German.
Responsible research data management is an essential component of good research practice but what does responsible RDM mean? The aim of this workshop is to introduce participants to key concepts, requirements and practices of research data management and to foster an exchange about ‘data’ and their specific surroundings in different disciplines within social and cultural sciences and humanities. For this purpose, the workshop will introduce research data management and will provide a forum for interdisciplinary exchange and small group discussions on selected aspects of data management. The content is relevant for researchers from all disciplinary backgrounds, not only researchers working with empirical data.

l’illusion d’une unité

“Foucault speaks of contradiction as l’illusion d’une unité.”

Ingo H. Warnke
hierarchy of norms

“If social contradictions are reflected in law, law cannot form a hierarchy of norms free of contradictions.”

Andreas Fischer-Lescano
diversity and plurality

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

Gisela Febel
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
ideal of a contradiction-free world

“Science has long been animated by the ideal of a contradiction-free world in which logical orders could merge with society, politics, culture and language. In the GRC Contradiction Studies we are working on ways of describing the multiplicity and complexity, the danger and beauty of our worlds that clearly go beyond concepts of freedom from contradiction.”
