Appalling Bodies concludes with a brief Epilogue, reflecting further on the kinds of drag these chapters and queer temporalities more broadly perform. Because our encounters with the biblical can be such a drag, the epilogue considers multiple meanings of drag, in both scholarly and colloquial ways, as it might reframe the strange temporalities of scriptures. Drag is a key early example for Judith Butler’s explication of gender performativity. Elizabeth Freeman suggests the utility of drag for describing ambivalent, even complicated temporalities, all of the ways the past pulls on, impresses on, lives within, or simply haunts the present. As the examples of temporal drag within Paul’s letters also indicate, not all touches across time should be valorized. Bodies are marked by histories, including the histories of surgery and slavery, with all their unwelcome forms of contact. The drag of history demonstrates that anachronism is the least of our worries.
