Book Synopsis

Untimely Bodies, Untimely Aesthetics examines the fluidity of time in eight contemporary films by focusing on characters who struggle for connection in an environment shaped by heteronormative temporality and intimacies. The book proposes a model for viewing non-normative relationality through the concepts of “untimeliness” and queer time.



Trade Review

“The Berlin School has left a permanent mark on film history that deserves continued interest in the scholarly space. Untimely Bodies, Untimely Aesthetics meaningfully contributes to this ongoing and ever-expanding scholarly conversation by deriving its methodological approach from theoretical traditions, including queer studies, that have been underused in the discourse thus far. The book reframes how we think about what the Berlin School films do – this is not a small feat.” Marco Abel, University of Nebraska–Lincoln and author of The Counter-Cinema of the Berlin School
