Abstract
In this article, I examine certain features of contemporary capitalism with particular attention to the temporal, spatial, social, and person-forming aspects of debt. Debt is difficult to dislodge because it mobilizes the individual and social promise-making capacities of human beings so that the future is determined by promises made in the past. I argue that the demonic, larger-than-life powers of debt can be countered by queer prophetic performances that create temporal and spatial contiguities between people who then become a “we.”
