“In olden days a glimpse of stocking / Was looked on as something shocking. / Now, heaven knows, Anything goes.” This epigraph begins Chris Jenks’ 2003 work Transgression, exemplifying the sense in which acts of transgression can have real, tangible, palpable effects on society. Jenks defines “transgression” as violating, infringing upon, or going beyond the limits set by a boundary or convention (2). Transgressive fiction, then, is the genre of literature that depicts various acts of boundary-crossing in order to analyze and criticize them for the purpose of reflecting upon the ideological constructions that its characters react against or wholly reject.

Essays in Honour of Professor Krishna Sen – a Festschrift

Organizer: Shane Carreon

Co-Organizer: Ayelén Rosario Tissera

Situated at the locus of power relations in and through language, translators and language teachers are entwined by and within complex ideologies, epistemologies, and governing policies. In particular, their identity construction, personal stance, and mediations continually reproduce, redefine, and/or resist in varying ways the hegemony of the English language both as legacy of British and American colonialism and as prime language of globalization.
