Introduction to the special issue: Fatness and temporality

"As scholars, artists, and activists continue to contend with the question of who has a future, we are drawn to the relationship between fat and the social construction of time. In this introduction to the special issue of Fat Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society, we explore what fat reveals about time and what fat studies offers to current conceptions of temporality. We consider how fat existence and fat interventions cultivate temporal economies other than linear, capitalist, colonial ones, and reflect on how fat studies scholarship is amplified and reconfigured by intersecting ways of knowing about time through the lived experience of fatness."

"In recent history, fascist body regimes have coded fatness as an epidemic. So much anti-fat sentiment, policy and practice have emerged that a “war on obesity” is being waged on fat bodies through medical, public health, legal, social, and media discourses and practices, the negative effects of which continue to inflict an immense amount of emotional, psychological, physical, social, and financial injury on fat people."
