Feminism's Queer Temporalities by Sam Mcbean, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Despite feminism's uneven movements, it has been predominantly understood through metaphors of generations or waves. Feminism's Queer Temporalitiesbuilds on critiques of the limitations of this linear model to explore alternative ways of imagining feminism's timing. It finds in feminism's literary and cultural archive narratives of temporality that might now be diagnosed as queer, where queer designates modes of being historical that exceed the linear and the generational. Few theorists have looked to popular feminist figures, literature, and culture to theorize feminism's timing. Through methodologically creative readings, McBean explores non-generational, anti-linear, and asynchronous time in the figure of Antigone, Marge Piercy'sWoman on the Edge of Time, the filmLadies and Gentlemen: The Fabulous Stains, Valerie Solanas andSCUM Manifesto, and Alison Bechdel'sFun Home. The first to substantially bring together the ways in which time has come to matter in both feminist and queer disciplines, this book will appeal to students and scholars of feminist, queer and gender studies, cultural studies and literary studies. | Feminism's Queer Temporalities by Sam Mcbean, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
