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

“Is contradiction a eurocentric concept, operational phenomenon, and instrument of power?”

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