Abstract
In a queer-theory reading of Charles Dickens'sA Christmas Carolin the 2004 polemicNo Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive, Lee Edelman relied on a narrow concept of reproduction as procreative heteronormativity anchored in heterosexual sex. He left untold the other story of reproduction: our daily reproduction in the service of capitalism. Marxist and materialist feminist theories of reproduction remind us that we all engage in reproductive work and that women have traditionally been considered natural providers of this work. A reading of J. M. Coetzee'sSlow Man, in which a male protagonist depends on the domestic labor of a migrant woman, provides a counterpoint toNo Future.
