In Beside You in Time Elizabeth Freeman expands biopolitical and
queer theory by outlining a temporal view of the long nineteenth
century. 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.
