Transgression and Its Limits Conference

Plenary speaker Prof. Fred Botting
Reading and Q & A Iain Banks
Is transgression more than the tradition of subverting tradition? Have the conditions of post-modernity exhausted our ability to be shocked?
The aim of this conference is to provide an interdisciplinary forum to consider transgressive tactics in literature, film, critical theory and other cultural productions. To what extent has transgression helped shape sexual, cultural and artistic landscapes of its own period?
We invite abstracts for 20-minute papers focusing on transgressive, taboo-breaking and politically resistant acts in literature and the arts. Please send a 300-word abstract and a 50-word biography to Aspasia Stephanou, Matthew Foley and Neil McRobert at transgression@stir.ac.uk by 19th March.
