Time Binds : Queer Temporalities, Queer Histories
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.

Queer Korea
Since the end of the nineteenth century, the Korean people have faced successive waves of foreign domination, authoritarian regimes, forced dispersal, and divided development.Throughout these turbulent times, “queer” Koreans were ignored, minimized, and erased in narratives of their modern nation, East Asia, and the wider world.This interdisciplinary volume challenges such marginalization through critical analyses of non-normative sexuality and gender variance.Considering both personal and collective forces, the contributors extend individualized notions of queer neoliberalism beyond those typically set in Western queer theory.Along the way, they recount a range of illuminating topics, from shamanic rituals during the colonial era and B-grade comedy films under Cold War dictatorship to female masculinity among today’s youth and transgender confrontations with the resident registration system.More broadly, Queer Korea offers readers new ways of understanding the limits and possibilities of human liberation under exclusionary conditions of modernity in Asia and beyond. Contributors. Pei Jean Chen, John (Song Pae) Cho, Chung-kang Kim, Todd A.Henry, Merose Hwang, Ruin, Layoung Shin, Shin-ae Ha, John Whittier Treat

It's important to recognize that the diversity of friendships among queer individuals is just as varied as among any other group of people.

Is God queer?
The concept of God's identity and sexuality is subjective and varies among different belief systems. In some religions, God is seen as beyond human characteristics such as gender or sexuality. Therefore, whether God is queer or not is open to individual interpretation and belief. Ultimately, it is a personal and spiritual question that may not have a definitive answer.

Are queer people weird?
No, queer people are not weird. Being queer simply means that a person's sexual orientation or gender identity does not conform to traditional societal norms. It is important to recognize and respect the diversity of human experiences and identities, and to understand that being queer is a natural and valid aspect of human diversity. Using the term "weird" to describe queer people perpetuates harmful stereotypes and contributes to discrimination and prejudice. It is important to embrace and celebrate the uniqueness of all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Queer Slashers
From Norman Bates dressed as "Mother" in Psycho to the rouged cheeks of Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, many slasher icons have borne traces of queer and gender nonconforming behavior since the subgenre's very beginning. Queer Slashers presents the first book-length study of how and why the slasher subgenre of horror films appeals to queer audiences.In it, Peter Marra constructs a reparative history of the slasher that affirms its queer lineage extending back as early as the 1920s.It also articulates the queer aspects of the slasher formula that forge an unlikely kinship between queer audiences and these retrograde depictions of queer killers.Marra establishes a queer history and function for the slasher, analyzing several key contemporary "queer slashers"–that is, slashers that are made by queer filmmakers–to better understand how queer artists take up the slasher iconography and put it toward modern queer aims. Featuring analysis of films such as John Waters's Serial Mom, Peaches Christ's All About Evil, and Alain Guiraudie's Stranger by the Lake, Queer Slashers illuminates the queer meanings of slashers, their foundations, and their future possibilities.

Queer Tattoo
In recent years, having received a considerable boost by social media, a young and dynamic scene has emerged that is dedicated to what has become known as queer tattooing.This special community, which is growing steadily, has been born out of a desire to break with the hierarchies and patriarchal structures of traditional tattoo art.It aims to create safe, tolerant, and inclusive spaces where queer, nonbinary, and trans people can experiment away from the mainstream and develop their own individual styles and techniques. In their work, many tattoo artists break free from the destructive, heteronormative, and capitalist ideals of beauty, creating a visual language that subverts the long tradition of cultural appropriation which characterises the traditional tattoo scene.Their designs reveal a unique creative flair for queer iconography. This book is the first comprehensive introduction to this vibrant and diverse queer tattoo community.It presents 50 international tattoo artists with the help of extensive portraits, texts, and series of images.

Why are queer readings problematic?
Queer readings can be problematic because they may impose a specific interpretation on a text that may not align with the author's intentions or the historical context in which the text was written. Additionally, applying a queer lens to a text can sometimes overlook or overshadow other important themes or messages present in the work. Furthermore, there is a risk of essentializing queer identities or reducing them to stereotypes when engaging in queer readings, which can be reductive and limiting.
