The contributors to Long Term use the tension between the popular
embrace and legalization of same-sex marriage and the queer
critique of homonormativity as an opportunity to examine the myriad
forms of queer commitments and their durational aspect. They
consider commitment in all its guises, particularly relationships
beyond and aside from monogamous partnering. These include chosen
and involuntary long-term commitments to families, friends, pets,
and coworkers; to the care of others and care of self; and to
financial, psychiatric, and carceral institutions. Whether
considering the enduring challenges of chronic illnesses and
disability, including HIV and chronic fatigue syndrome; theorizing
the queer family as a scene of racialized commitment; or relating
the grief and loss that comes with caring for pets, the
contributors demonstrate that attending to the long term offers a
fuller understanding of queer engagements with intimacy, mortality,
change, dependence, and care. Contributors. Lisa Adkins, Maryanne
