No Linear Fucking Time Bibliography

The “No Linear Fucking Time Bibliography” is an evolving resource which compiles selected scholarly and artistic texts relating to the various strands of study involved in this project. With hyperlinked key terms including “colonization of time,” “cyclical time,” “crip time,” “queer temporalities,” “carceral time,” and “time travel,” the constellation of sources is intended as a resource for research within the expansive and interrelated fields of critical time studies. Compiled by Natasha Matteson, Amelia Groom, Lou Rosenkranz, Rachael Rakes, and Wietske Maas.
