diversity and plurality

“Join us to create more diversity and plurality in knowledge production.”
Gisela Febel

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)”
Gisela Febel

prison of difference

“‘Contradiction is the prison of difference‘ writes the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. Worlds of Contradiction asks: how can we explain and describe the world without making it more coherent and systematic than it is?”
Michi Knecht

city

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

paradox

“The basis of law is not an idea as a systematic unified principle but a paradox.”
Andreas Fischer-Lescano
