Temporality influences our bodies - as a biological fact, a social construct, and a personal experience. In Gender, Queer, Disability, and Postcolonial Studies, this relationship between body and time is increasingly being examined. What do the biographies of two queer individuals persecuted during the Nazi regime reveal about normative concepts and body images? What coping strategies regarding the dead body and what notions of the afterlife can be gleaned from modern burial practices? And how are the interconnections of body, clothing, gender, sexuality, and age expressed in Lady Di's "Revenge Dress" from 1994? The authors explore such interconnections.
