This roundtable mediated by Elizabeth Freeman offers discussion of varying notions of queer temporality from academics Carolyn Dinshaw, Lee Edelman, Roderick A. Ferguson, Carla Freccero, J. Jack Halberstam, Annamarie Jagose, Christopher S. Nealon, and Tan Hoang Nguyen. This article is particularly useful as few of these writers have focused on time within their works of queer theory, yet Freeman astutely draws out this theme in each of their works and allows elaboration on figurations of time specifically. The debates amongst the participants also elucidate the (soft) division in queer theory between the negative or anti-social turn and the future-oriented, productive camp. I found this article particularly useful when thinking about the use of the quotidian and the shifts of thought in contemporary poetry.
