ideal of a contradiction-free world
“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
space
“According to Niklas Luhmann, space is a ‘special facility to negate contradictions’”.
Julia Lossau
name contradiction
“Contradiction becomes real where someone names contradiction.”
Ingo H. Warnke
city
“The city is a laboratory not only of modernity, but also of contradiction.”
Julia Lossau
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)”
