aporia
(en)
(noun) an expression of real or pretended doubt or uncertainty especially for rhetorical effect / (noun) a logical impasse or contradiction / (noun) a radical contradiction in the import of a text or theory that is seen in deconstruction as inevitable
these concerns produce, as noted above, an uneasy aporia: on the one hand the liberatory promise of a revolution spanning the worlds of political subjects and objects; on the other, a bleak refraction of Benjamin’s thesis on the philosophy of history
