Exposing and embarrassing and taking down a powerful man -- and if there's a transgressive woman to take down too, all the better -- transfers a little bit of that power to the rest of us while also allowing us to pretend that we're acting to our own highest moral standards, even when we're most likely not.

Mann, who won a Fulbright to Taiwan and learned paper-making in India, guides these elements through accident and design into a precarious balance of harmony and clangor, an empire of the senses (to repurpose the title of Nagisa Ōshima's transgressive '70s exercise in erotic cinema) where seduction vies with firepower as the weapon of choice.
Metal musicians and fans are as likely as anyone else to be influenced by a wide range of artists (how many times was Lemmy's love of ABBA referenced during his memorial service?), so is it any wonder that Bowie, with his far-reaching artistic prowess, unflappable charisma, and transgressive attitude would be especially appealing to so many of us?
Since the late 1960s, Red Jordan Arobateau, a Black trans man, has been prolifically producing transgressive, sex-positive street lit that centers the lives of working class and poor queer folks of color—writing that helped pave the way for inclusive depictions of Black sexuality that we're only just beginning to see in the mainstream today.

But they've been on a journey to get there, and though it might sound almost transgressive to say it, they could only choose the way of grace once they'd come to experience the emptiness of the way of nature, and understood the need to be an instrument of peace (as in St. Francis's prayer, quoted in the film).
It remains transgressive, however, for the same reasons the Black Panthers regally posing for photos with rifles and African spears was: it challenges the unspoken understanding that the Second Amendment is only for white people, that a "well-regulated militia" could also define a band of black brothers and sisters from the 'hood, including veterans, students and ex-convicts.
My other favorite pieces include Salvador Dali's transgressive "Aphrodisiac Dinner Jacket" (750013) — so crazy it captivates — and Lucio Fontana's concetti spaziali  "Bracelet Ellipse Concetto Spaziale" (1967), which is supposed to break physical and metaphysical dimensional limitations, but is here reduced to a tiny, deep-pink elliptical surfboard (so cute), and his beautifully shining, poked gold "Broche Concetto Spaziale" (circa 1962).
In response, I suggested that Bee and her fellow late-night liberal shouters were actually doing more for the Republican nominee than was Fallon, because Trump's appeal was in part a reaction to a pervasive late-Obama-era politicization of pop culture — which was encouraging Republican voting as a form of cultural protest, and Trump voting as an act of transgressive rebellion.

Sexual tension is foundational to the show's plot, and this episode is a teaser for the way Killing Eve intertwines different kinds of "transgressive" acts—both the morbid, as in Polastri's obsession with true crime to the point where she cuts herself in the season's pilot to understand the flow of blood, as well as a kind of forbidden sexual tension between the two women.
Transgressive work is a more accurate expression from a culture that has been engaged in war as long as we can remember, one that has a severely unequal stratification of wealth, a culture that disproportionately locks up poor minority groups for maximum sentences (while the same crimes from white offenders are penalized with rehab), religious groups that denounce science and inspire their congregation with fear and hate, not love and tolerance.
And Brosnahan felt that she could truly inhabit Miriam (Midge) Maisel, a young Jewish housewife in 1958 who has finagled the full megillah straight out of Bryn Mawr — the gleaming Upper West Side apartment, the doting husband who pitches ad copy by day and wears transgressive turtlenecks by night, a toddler and a bouncing baby and a waist that cinches to a Coke-bottle shape in a Perma-lift girdle.
It is not necessary to agree that "How to Write an Autobiographical Novel" is itself a kind of novel in order to appreciate that Chee has written a moving and personal tribute to impermanence, a wise and transgressive meditation on a life lived both because of and in spite of America, a place where, he writes, "you are allowed to speak the truth as long as nothing changes."
Both they and some of their Christian allies argued that a decision in favor of Masterpiece Cakeshop would be vital to protecting the rights of religious minorities: [A ruling for the cakeshop] also vindicate the Jewish florist who believes it is religiously transgressive to participate in creating floral arrangements for a ceremony in which a Jew was converting to another religion, or for a wedding between a Jew and a member of another religion.
The pictures that he took of Stephen Tennant and his other bohemian friends not only mark the beginnings of his formal photography career, but also exist as invaluable documents of this sub-culture of young men and women who in 1920s London lived a life of grandeur and decadence typical of the 1890s — the decade that shocked the rigid Victorian morality with its hubristic aestheticism, sensuality, and transgressive openness to sexual and political experimentation.
Just as Louis C.K. used his stand-up specials and FX show, "Louie," to recast his own sexual misconduct as transgressive comedy, his peers — multi-hyphenate TV stars like Mr. Ansari, Tig Notaro and Lena Dunham — have used their own platforms to mine the experience of working with guys like him, and dig into issues like how to act on intractable rumors, the social discomfort of taking a stand, and the problem with well-meaning male allies.
But read it straight through, as I just have, and I think that you will find that he came to the '80s art scene late, as a black-sheep, puckish novice, five years after the transgressive epoch-defining Colab exhibitions, such as the Times Square Show and The Real Estate Show and the openings of ABC No Rio, Fashion 时装 Moda МОДА and Group Material — where art was being inseminated with the Dionysian, the social, the political, and the economic.

" In "The Peach," a fittingly-named chapter of Al Dente: Madness, Beauty, and the Food of Roma, English author David Winner describes how such overt use of fruit imagery dates as far back as 16th-century Rome to the works of Vincenzo Campi and Caravaggio: "The idea of the fruit became the perfect metaphor for the culture of post-Reformation Rome, a culture whose quest for religious and political orthodoxy frequently led to further uncertainties and where humor alone offered an acceptable outlet for transgressive desire.
Certain vernacular norms have, of course, persisted over time; components of geek culture, meme culture, and rhetorical strategies associated with early trolling subculture and other forms of transgressive humor can still be found on contemporary 4chan and within groups of Anons, although the same could be said for many spaces and communities steeped in the broader category of internet culture, such as reddit (which itself is home to a number of pro-Trump alt-right boards—most notably r/the_donald—often discussed alongside 4chan's "politically incorrect" /pol/ board).
