“Contradiction” is a core concept in the humanities and the social sciences. Beside the classical ideas of logical or dialectical contradiction, instances of “lived” contradiction and strategies of coping with it are objects of this study. Contradiction Studies discuss the many ways in which explicit or implicit contradictions are negotiated in different political or cultural settings. This volume collects articles that tackle the concept of contradiction, practices of contradicting and lived contradictions from a number of relevant perspectives and assembles contributions from linguistics, literary studies, philosophy, political science, and media studies.

Im Rahmen des Kolloquiums am Institut für Ethnologie und Kulturwissenschaft liest die Autorin am 25. April um 18:15h in der Rotunde (Cartesium) gemeinsam mit Prof. Esra Özyürek und Prof. Magdalena Zolkos aus dem Buch und diskutiert einige zentrale Thesen.
