Eminent sociologist and author of Transgression (2003), Chris Jenks provides an essential introduction to transgression as a cultural concept. He explores its philosophical roots, its emergence in the radical uncertainty of the early 20th century, and how it came to be most closely associated with the provocative writings of the French intellectual Georges Bataille.
