Sexual Disorientations: Queer Temporalities, Affects, Theologies

Transdisciplinary Theological Colloquia

by Kent L. Brintnall (Contributor), Joseph A. Marchal (Editor), Stephen D. Moore (Editor)

Sexual Disorientations brings some of the most recent and significant works of queer theory into conversation with the overlapping fields of biblical, theological and religious studies to explore the deep theological resonances of questions about the social and cultural construction of time, memory, and futurity. Apocalyptic, eschatological and apophatic languages, frameworks, and orientations pervade both queer theorizing and theologizing about time, affect, history and desire. The volume fosters a more explicit engagement between theories of queer temporality and affectivity and religious texts and discourses.

[Ashley Lewis · Rating 4 out of 5]

I would give this a 5 star rating, as some of the essays were so mind bendingly amazing and completely rearrange the way I view the world, except that some of the essays were also so boring I barely finished them. Worth a read for Karen Bray’s essay: “Madness of Holy Saturday: Bipolar Temporalities and the Queerdom of Heaven on Earth” 🤯
