Febel Gisela, Knopf Kerstin, Nonhoff Martin (eds.) Contradiction Studies - Exploring the Field

Springer, 2023. — 373 p. — (Contradiction Studies). — ISBN 978-3-658-37783-0.“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.Contradiction Studies:​ Exploring the Field.​ An Introduction
