Zur Ästhetik von Widerspruchspraxen am Beispiel des feministischen Abtreibungsdiskurses in den 1970er Jahren

2024

In this article, the proposal is made to analyse practices of contradiction with regard to their aesthetic potential. On the one hand, this is intended to demonstrate the diverse possibilities of contradiction studies and, on the other, to emphasise the role of aesthetic texts in protest discourses. Texts from the feminist abortion discourse will be used as examples.

name contradiction

“Contradiction becomes real where someone names contradiction.”
Ingo H. Warnke

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

power and resistance

“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

space

“According to Niklas Luhmann, space is a ‘special facility to negate contradictions’”.
Julia Lossau

every day

“Living in contradictions is what we experience every day. Why do we know so little about it?”
Gisela Febel
