This volume focusses on contradiction as a key concept in the Humanities and Social Sciences. By bringing together theoretical and empirical contributions from a broad disciplinary spectrum, the volume advances research in contradiction and on contradictory phenomena, laying the foundations for a new interdisciplinary field of research: Contradiction Studies. Dealing with linguistic phenomena, urban geographies, business economy, literary writing practices, theory of the social sciences, and language education, the contributions show that contradiction, rather than being a logical exemption in the Aristotelian sense, provides a valuable approach to many fields of socially, culturally, and historically relevant fields of research.

Der vorliegende Sammelband dokumentiert die Beiträge einer interdisziplinären Tagung von Sprach- und GeschichtswissenschaftlerInnen zum Thema Koloniallinguistik. Dass koloniale und postkoloniale Konstellationen vor allem auch kommunikativ hervorgebracht und gestützt werden, ist eine theoretische Grundannahme der (Post)Colonial Linguistics. Gemeinsame historische und sprachwissenschaftliche Perspektivierungen von Kolonialität sind daher nicht nur wünschenswert, sondern sogar notwendig, um koloniale Machtmechanismen und postkoloniale Effekte hinreichend beschreiben und erklären zu können. Die Beiträge des Bandes umfassen die Gegenstandsbereiche Historiographie der Linguistik, kolonialzeitliche Sprachforschung und Missionarslinguistik, Quellenkunde, (post)koloniale Toponomastik und Sprach(en)politik in ehemaligen Kolonialgebieten. Der Band ist damit für aktuelle Diskussionen in Geschichtswissenschaft, Allgemeiner Linguistik und Einzelphilologien relevant.

Der Band enthält Beiträge, die auf der 4. Jahrestagung des Netzwerks 'Diskurs - interdisziplinär' 2014 gehalten wurden. Der Fokus der Beiträge ist auf Diskurs als ein semiotisches Kohärenzphänomen gerichtet. Komplexe von Zeichensystemen, die aufeinander verweisen und miteinander Sinn konstituieren, werden in ihrer diskursiven Geprägtheit beschrieben. Im Sinn einer Diskurssemiotik werden diskursive Kodierungen und ihre mutuellen Beziehungen als Bedeutung schaffende Instanzen dargestellt. Diese werden beispielhaft in Bereichen wie der Ess-, Körper-, Bild- und Filmsemiotik, der Semiotik der Kleidung und des Internets, der Raum- und der Geosemiotik sowie der Musiksemiotik exemplifiziert. Der Betrachtung des multimodalen Zusammenhangs von Text, Bild und Ton kommt dabei ein hoher Stellenwert zu. Damit präsentiert der Band Beispiele interdisziplinärer Ansätze und gibt den aktuellen Forschungsstand diskurssemiotischer Diskussionen wieder. This volume focusses on discourse as a semiotic coherence phenomenon. Mutually referential and constitutive complexes of sign systems are described in terms of their discursive elements. The authors develop a semiotics of discourse, one that regards encodings as instances that generate meaning. They examine a broad range of discursive formalizations, including their multimodal interconnections.

The editors of this volume have combined their expertise in discourse, contradiction, minority and diversity studies to suggest a change of perspective from categorisations into societal minorities and majorities towards an analysis of marginalising and centralising discourses. For this purpose, we have gathered interdisciplinary-minded authors from linguistics, literary and religious studies, political and historical sciences. Their contributions focus on contradictions of religious and national belonging as well as intersections of religion and nation in many different regions of the world from the 18th century until today. While illustrating the diversity and contradictions of religious and national belonging across time and space, the chapters of the book contribute to an understanding of the dynamics of questions of belonging and the associated constant renegotiations of power within these discursive processes.
