By exploring forms of temporal resistance in artistic representation, such as short stories and novels, that challenge the imposition of colonial, gender, or capitalist temporal orders, the book reveals how storytelling can be an essential tool in questioning and pushing back against coercive temporal structures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book analyses literary representations of time that challenge dominant temporalities and intersect different disciplines such as gender and sexuality studies, trauma and Indigenous studies, race and identity, and religion. It features narrative analyses proposing alternative embodied experiences of time, focusing on topics including the temporality of the AIDS-affected body, the experience of time in prison, and slowness in opposition to modern acceleration. Ultimately,\u003cem\u003e Alternative Temporalities\u003c\/em\u003e aims to create new theories as well as practices that may foster more diverse and inclusive ways of perceiving and embodying time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments \u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eTeresa Valentini and Angela Weiser\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart 1: Re-thinking Time\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
