On the Edge: Transgression and the Dangerous Other

This two day interdisciplinary conference will celebrate intellectual and artistic transgression that will focus on a concept of a new criminology for the 21st Century which can grasp the phenomenology of everyday life, its experience of joy, humiliation, anger and desperation, the seductions of transgression and the appeal of the vindictive, the myriad forms of resistance and the repressive nature of acquiescence. The conference will bring together national and international scholars, students and artists from a variety of disciplines.
