On January 8 and 9, a workshop on the topic of science slams will take place with the participation of the WoC GradNet, the GRK Contradiction Studies and MAPEX. Participants will learn how to present their own research topic on stage in an exciting talk and make it accessible to a lay audience in an understandable way. The workshop will be led by Dr. Julia Offe and Andreas Laurenz Meier from scienceslam.de.
“Is contradiction a eurocentric concept, operational phenomenon, and instrument of power?”
Kerstin Knopf
“Foucault speaks of contradiction as l’illusion d’une unité.”
Ingo H. Warnke
“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.”
Michi Knecht
“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 are an important driver of scientific practice and knowledge.”
Norman Sieroka
