Drawing on Foucauldian notions of discipline as a regime that yoked the human body to time, Freeman shows how time became a social and sensory means by which people assembled into groups in ways that resisted disciplinary forces. She tracks temporalized bodies across many entangled regimes-religion, secularity, race, historiography, health, and sexuality-and examines how those bodies act in relation to those regimes. In analyses of the use of rhythmic dance by the Shakers; African American slave narratives; literature by Mark Twain, Pauline Hopkins, Herman Melville, and others; and how Catholic sacraments conjoined people across historical boundaries, Freeman makes the case for the body as an instrument of what she calls queer hypersociality. As a mode of being in which bodies are connected to others and their histories across and throughout time, queer hypersociality, Freeman contends, provides the means for subjugated bodies to escape disciplinary regimes of time and to create new social worlds.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49736137015569,"sku":"NGR9781478006350","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51421830250769,"sku":"CIN1478006358VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52744606155025,"sku":"NIN9781478006350","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1478006358.jpg?v=1763475213"},{"product_id":"old-pakefield-and-kirkley-book-elizabeth-freeman-9781840336993","title":"Old Pakefield and Kirkley","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49736939700497,"sku":"NGR9781840336993","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51549580493073,"sku":"GOR014325002","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1840336994.jpg?v=1750802490"},{"product_id":"wedding-complex-book-elizabeth-freeman-9780822329893","title":"The Wedding Complex","description":"In The Wedding Complex Elizabeth Freeman explores the significance of the wedding ceremony by asking what the wedding becomes when you separate it from the idea of marriage. Freeman finds that weddings—as performances, fantasies, and rituals of transformation—are sites for imagining and enacting forms of social intimacy other than monogamous heterosexuality. Looking at the history of Anglo-American weddings and their depictions in American literature and popular culture from the antebellum era to the present, she reveals the cluster of queer desires at the heart of the \"wedding complex\"—longings not for marriage necessarily but for public forms of attachment, ceremony, pageantry, and celebration.    Freeman draws on queer theory and social history to focus on a range of texts where weddings do not necessarily lead to legal marriage but instead reflect yearnings for intimate arrangements other than long-term, state-sanctioned, domestic couplehood. Beginning with a look at the debates over gay marriage, she proceeds to consider literary works by Nathaniel Hawthorne, William Faulkner, Carson McCullers, Vladimir Nabokov, and Edgar Allan Poe, along with such Hollywood films as Father of the Bride, The Graduate, and The Godfather. She also discusses less well-known texts such as Su Friedrich’s experimental film First Comes Love and the off-Broadway, interactive dinner play Tony ‘n’ Tina’s Wedding. Offering bold new ways to imagine attachment and belonging, and the public performance and recognition of social intimacy, The Wedding Complex is a major contribution to American studies, queer theory, and cultural studies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50368959578385,"sku":"CIN0822329891G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50900479213841,"sku":"GOR006767548","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52390540443921,"sku":"CIN0822329891VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0822329891.jpg?v=1761389692"},{"product_id":"pulp-mythology-volume-three-book-elizabeth-freeman-9781953589781","title":"Pulp Mythology Volume Three","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51254008086801,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51254009004305,"sku":"NIN9781953589781","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1953589782.jpg?v=1750965409"},{"product_id":"overland-by-bus-london-to-bombay-1966-a-young-woman-s-diary-and-letters-of-her-j-book-elizabeth-freeman-9798799039103","title":"OVERLAND BY BUS LONDON TO BOMBAY 1966: A Young Woman's Diary and Letters of her journey of a lifetime (Series - Share My Journey)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52153233834257,"sku":"GOR013049423","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798799039103.jpg?v=1757619435"},{"product_id":"god-in-my-rucksack-a-young-woman-s-diary-and-letters-of-her-journey-of-a-lifetim-book-elizabeth-freeman-9798871348215","title":"GOD IN MY RUCKSACK: A Young Woman's Diary and Letters of her journey of a lifetime (Series - Share My Journey)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52924799189265,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52924800106769,"sku":"GOR014656582","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798871348215.jpg?v=1765628394"},{"product_id":"time-binds-book-elizabeth-freeman-9780822347903","title":"Time Binds","description":"Time Binds is a powerful argument that temporal and sexual dissonance are intertwined, and that the writing of history can be both embodied and erotic. Challenging queer theory’s recent emphasis on loss and trauma, Elizabeth Freeman foregrounds bodily pleasure in the experience and representation of time as she interprets an eclectic archive of queer literature, film, video, and art. She examines work by visual artists who emerged in a commodified, “postfeminist,” and “postgay” world. Yet they do not fully accept the dissipation of political and critical power implied by the idea that various political and social battles have been won and are now consigned to the past. By privileging temporal gaps and narrative detours in their work, these artists suggest ways of putting the past into meaningful, transformative relation with the present. Such “queer asynchronies” provide opportunities for rethinking historical consciousness in erotic terms, thereby countering the methods of traditional and Marxist historiography. Central to Freeman’s argument are the concepts of chrononormativity, the use of time to organize individual human bodies toward maximum productivity; temporal drag, the visceral pull of the past on the supposedly revolutionary present; and erotohistoriography, the conscious use of the body as a channel for and means of understanding the past. Time Binds emphasizes the critique of temporality and history as crucial to queer politics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53014067773713,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53014068330769,"sku":"NIN9780822347903","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780822347903.jpg?v=1768143153"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-elizabeth-freeman.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
