TIME(S) OF LIVES - REBECCA SCHÄFER GEBUNDEN

What does it mean to live through time and to form affective bonds? This book discusses how
concepts of time  age and aging  and kinship produce and impact each other in a neoliberal 
late-capitalist 21st century U.S. American context. Located at the nexus of American studies 
queer theory  critical age(ing) studies  and studies on belonging  it features case studies
from across contemporary U.S. American culture. To explore potential challenges to dominant
concepts and narratives  the book turns to diverse forms of temporal  developmental  and
relational rupture: the multiple temporalities and erratic aging processes  the queer time
modes  and the alternative models of collectivity and affect of bodies across - and as they
cross - genders and the (post)human condition. With its queer analyses of examples from
transgressive sites of queer contestation as well as mainstream culture  the book also asks: is
going mainstream and being anti-hegemonic necessarily and always mutually exclusive?
