Description
Long Term Essays on Queer Commitment explores the diverse forms of queer commitment and their long-term aspects. Contributors examine various types of commitments, including relationships beyond monogamous partnering, as well as chosen and involuntary long-term engagements with others, pets, and institutions. These essays consider the challenges of chronic illnesses and disability, theorize the queer family as a scene of racialized commitment, and relate the grief and loss that comes with caring for pets. By attending to the long term, these scholars demonstrate that it offers a fuller understanding of queer engagements with intimacy, mortality, change, dependence, and care. This collection brings together diverse perspectives on queer commitment, shedding light on its complexities and nuances.
