i haven't had time to read all of your writing on the website you offered,
but will catch up -
in the meantime (o' i know we're all supposed to be smart on this list,
too, ha ha, ....BUT)
i'm interested in activities of transgression, boundary-breaking, not just
crossing but breaking through in order to cross into unknown spaces beyond
conscious (an unconscious) borders - and if i think of this word,
trans-action, in
literal terms, it seems to mean crossing over activity, or crossing
through? via activity, towards an effect?
what - if any - is the relation between transaction and transgression,
i.e., might transgression be the effect of certain transactions?
trying to be smart (with a tongue poked in cheek) :)
