Raum

„Mit Niklas Luhmann kann man Raum als ‚Sondereinrichtung zur Negation von Widersprüchen‘ begreifen.“

Julia Lossau
relational

»Zunächst dachte ich, Widerspruch ist immer eine relationale Sache; je mehr ich aber darüber nachdenke, um so eher meine ich, Widerspruch ist relationierend.«

Ingo H. Warnke
Afterlife of colonialism

“Contradiction comes in many different forms. None is so debilitating than when the coloniser transitions, textually not politically, to decoloniality without taking the responsibility for the afterlife of colonialism, which they continue to benefit from. Self-examination and self-interrogation of the relations of coloniality, a necessity, seem nearly impossible for the coloniser who continues to act as beneficiary, masked in the new-found language of White fragility, devoid of an ethical responsibility of the very system of White domination they claim to be against.” (Black Consciousness and the Politics of the Flesh)

Normhierarchie

„Wenn sich gesellschaftliche Widersprüche im Recht widerspiegeln, kann das Recht keine widerspruchsfreie Normhierarchie ausbilden.“
