Description
Time Binds Queer Temporalities, Queer Histories by Elizabeth Freeman is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between time and sexuality. Challenging traditional notions of history and queer theory, Freeman argues that bodily pleasure and erotic experience are essential to understanding the representation of time. Through an eclectic analysis of queer literature, film, video, and art, Freeman examines how visual artists subvert the dominant narratives of a "postfeminist" and "postgay" world. By prioritizing temporal gaps and narrative detours, these artists offer new perspectives on rethinking historical consciousness in erotic terms. Freeman's work centers on key concepts such as chrononormativity, temporal drag, and erotohistoriography, which she uses to critique the methods of traditional and Marxist historiography. This book is a crucial contribution to queer politics, emphasizing the importance of challenging temporality and history.
