Zilcosky et al. (eds): Alternative Temporalities

John Zilcosky, Former and Honorary President of the Committee, has co-edited, with Teresa Valentini and Angela Weiser, the book Alternative Temporalities: The Emancipatory Power of Narrative. Published with University of Toronto Press, this collection of essays reveals how modern literature can help us rethink temporal categories and practices to resist normative time and foster diverse and inclusive temporalities. The book analyzes literary representations of time that challenge dominant temporalities and intersect different disciplines such as gender and sexuality studies, trauma and Indigenous studies, race and identity, and religion. Ultimately, Alternative Temporalities aims to create new theories as well as practices that may foster more diverse and inclusive ways of perceiving and embodying time.
