Cover Contradiction Ctudies

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. Contradiction Studies is meant as an invitation to reflect on the power of contradiction, fostering dialogue between the humanities, cultural studies, and social sciences.

name contradiction
