Contradiction Studies

Putting contradiction center stage, this series aims at challenging simplistic conceptualizations of the contradictive. The series editors agree that contradictions are not necessarily about being resolved but that they rather provide starting points for polyphonic conversations.

decolonial scholarship

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

diversity and plurality

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

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

articulate

“Contradictions need to be articulated in order to exist.”
Martin Nonhoff
