Art, Ethics and Provocation

The main purpose of this volume is to look into a wide spectrum of artistic ventures which provoke, challenge habitual thinking, and cross boundaries. The essays offer a truly interdisciplinary perspective and deal with creative acts of transgression from a broad range of fields: literature, theatre, visual art, film, and others.
