The metaphor beyond the pale refers to something that's unacceptable and, as James M. Harding argues in this book, almost always refers to something--an activity, an action, or an act--that is performed. In this book, Harding recalls that historically the pale marked contested political boundaries and that what lay beyond the pale was considered to be a dangerous frontier. Siding with seemingly excessive and unreasonable acts and with the artists and activists who produce them, Harding brings together a series of ideas and performances that operate beyond the pale and asks readers to examine them on their own terms.
