#Freiheit #Transgression

""Every act of transgression weakens conscience," so was the view of many thinkers. And indeed, to this day, we typically see the transgressive — breaking rules, acting cruelly, and "being bad" — as unacceptable. But some argue its status is unknown and transgression might be necessary and desirable. Breaking rules with the intention to transgress is essential, they say, if we are to challenge authoritarian systems of thought. Recent research shows individuals express freedom and agency through breaking such norms. And whilst cruelty is universally condemned, studies have shown that people who cause harm and later reflect on their actions report an increased sense of moral awareness.

Should we accept that transgression is vital to a healthy culture central and necessary for humans to flourish? Or should we seek to remove transgressive behavior from all public and private life? More radically, is it a mistake to talk of "right" or "wrong," "bad" or "wicked" in the first place, and should we instead abandon moral terms altogether?"—

Interregnum interviews Dr Jacob Engelberg on his new book, Cinemas of Bisexual Transgression. The book argues that the way we look at queer film centres the gay/straight binary and considers what happens when bisexuality breaks the rules.

📝 Plot: Two women, scarred by violence and neglect, embark on a brutal road trip across France. Fueled by anger and desire, their journey descends into crime, sex, and murder. Rejecting morality and consequence, they navigate anonymous spaces in a raw, confrontational portrait of female rage, alienation, and self-destruction.

And the first shall be last
Cause: Whithin as outside,
When parallels cross in infinity,
So that the stingiest people
Give you the richest gifts.
