city

“The city is a laboratory not only of modernity, but also of contradiction.”

Julia Lossau
articulate

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

Martin Nonhoff
hierarchy of norms

“If social contradictions are reflected in law, law cannot form a hierarchy of norms free of contradictions.”

Andreas Fischer-Lescano

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

Kerstin Knopf
