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.

idea of democratic critique

“If you think that acts of contradicting someone always need to point to better solutions, you haven’t really understood the idea of democratic critique.”

Martin Nonhoff
l’illusion d’une unité

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

Ingo H. Warnke
decolonial scholarship

“Creating decentralizing and decolonizing scholarship on contradiction, contradictory phenomena, and contradicting processes is a challenging task.”

Kerstin Knopf
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
coherence in thought

“The imperative of non-contradiction generally produces a coherence in thought that is often at odds with social complexities.”

Yan Suarsana
