“Resistance is a democratic right, sometimes a duty. With literature we can find models for this right and think about its limits.”

“Geography as a discipline stands for a certain worlding, if not earthing, of contradiction, in both theoretical and pracitcal respect.”

Julia Lossau

“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)”

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

Kerstin Knopf
