    Contradiction Studies

    Putting contradiction center stage, this series aims at challenging simplistic conceptualizations of the contradictive. The series editors agree that contradictions are not necessarily about being resolved but that they rather provide starting points for polyphonic conversations.

    Prof. Dr. Yan Suarsana & Prof. Dr. Ingo H. Warnke

relational

“At first I thought contradiction was always a relational thing; but the more I ponder it, the more I think contradiction creates relation.”

Ingo H. Warnke
ideal of a contradiction-free world

“Science has long been animated by the ideal of a contradiction-free world in which logical orders could merge with society, politics, culture and language. In the GRC Contradiction Studies we are working on ways of describing the multiplicity and complexity, the danger and beauty of our worlds that clearly go beyond concepts of freedom from contradiction.”

Michi Knecht
city

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

Julia Lossau
l’illusion d’une unité

“Foucault speaks of contradiction as l’illusion d’une unité.”

Ingo H. Warnke
articulate

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

Martin Nonhoff
