Rachel Loewen Walker's original study of Deleuze's theory of
temporality advances a concept of the living present as a critical
juncture through which novel meanings and activisms take flight in
relation to new feminist materialisms, queer theory, Indigenous
studies, and studies of climate. Drawing on literature, philosophy,
popular culture, and community research, Loewen Walker unsettles
the fierce linearity of our stories, particularly as they uphold
fixed systems of gender, sexuality, and identity. Treading new
ground for Deleuzian studies, this book focuses on the
non-linearity of the living present to show that everything is
within rather than outside of time. Through this critical
re-evaluation, which takes in climate change, queer and trans
politics, and Indigenous sovereignty, Queer and Deleuzian
Temporalities "thickens" the present moment. By opening up multiple
pasts and multiple futures we are invited to act with a deepened
level of accountability to all possible timelines.
