“Is contradiction a eurocentric concept, operational phenomenon, and instrument of power?”

Kerstin Knopf

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

Julia Lossau

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

“The contradiction of law in Derrida lies in the interstice that separates the impossibility of deconstructing justice from the possibility of deconstructing law.”

Andreas Fischer-Lescano
