Trangression is an act of challenging boundaries that separateapparently distinct oppositional categories objects. Examples arecategories such as such as civilised/primitive, male/female, master/servant, Lordship/bondage. The article deals with suchtransgressions related to the evolution of class consciousnesstransgressive critical thinking. It is said to be particularly importantand at risk in higher education today, as performativity reforms haveclosed the spaces for transgressive reflexivity, making it difficult forstudents to make sense of the possibilities and costs for the self thathigher education can create. However, although the nowprofessionally managed entrepreneurial university might appear toform a difficult space for developing critical thinking, critique is alsoa basis for the expansion of capitalism in the university, and throughtransferability this can create spaces for critical reflection.
