description Queer Temporality Studies have been one of the most productive fields within US-American queer theory over the last two decades. In Germany, the temporal turn in criticism has also led to a lot of academic discussion around the topics of time and temporality. This paper tries to investigate the reception of Queer Temporality Studies into these temporal discussions within German academia as a case study for describing the institutionalisation of queer theory, as well as ascertaining the influence queer theoretical impulses have on a broader German research landscape. Branching out from a systematic search for instances of reception of Queer Temporality Studies in publications of three disciplines (Germanistik, English and American Studies, and Gender Studies), the paper discusses the processes of this reception and relates these observations to Edward W. Said’s concept of travelling theory.
