How would you say your personal works as an MC/TF writer correspond with the art of transgression?

Alright, that is more specific, but no less broad and complex.

To begin with, I can see where the connection would lie. However, there is an important distinction, which makes me feel that MC/TF are not truly transgressive, and that is the fact that they lie outside the scope of “the possible.”

Camus, de Sade and others sought to use art to challenge and disrupt the social morality of action, by portraying acts which were usually regarded as severe, mortal sins, as simple actions devoid of morality. They were transgressive because they sought to break through the morality of the time in their literature, and force society to grapple with their own codes, and why they were there, and whether they were truly moral.

Now, here’s the rub–MC/TF is fantasy. It can’t happen. Perhaps some hypnotism and brainwashing could result in someone’s mind being twisted towards erotic ends, but that’s only one half of the genre, and neglects all of the magical and supernatural results the genre usually drives towards. My work transgresses nothing, at the end of the day, because the actions which occur cannot possibly occur in reality, and without occurrence, they have no moral weight.

It could be, perhaps, that my stuff exists in a side genre, say something called speculative transgression–an exploration of how humanity might transgress were the world different–but that, I feel, has far less impact than true transgressive art.
