Overview

En renversant l’image de la femme comme être inférieur par nature pour l’appliquer à l’homme, l’autrice démonte la mécanique de la domination masculine.
Un pamphlet littéraire et politique, où l’humour et la provocation révèlent les rapports de force entre les sexes. Depuis sa diffusion dans les rues de New York par Valerie Solanas en 1967, SCUM Manifesto est devenu un texte culte du féminisme.

Traduit de l’anglais (États-Unis) par Emmanuèle de Lesseps

Postface de Lauren Bastide

Editorial Reviews

The SCUM Manifesto is a document of profound vulnerability, written in a voice of profound empowerment. It’s a brutal call to arms, written by a woman in a world of hurt. This tension between powerlessness and power makes it an enduring piece of writing. Never have the personal and the political been so mercilessly zipped together, like little steel teeth.”
—Claire Dederer, Nation

“Solanas is as relevant today as she was in the 1960s, because nothing much has changed for women.”
—Julie Bindel, Spectator

“You either happen to think this is a work of unadulterated genius, or you dismiss it as the ravings of a loony psycho-bitch, not understanding that this is exactly what makes it so compelling and so charged with insight.”
—Suzanne Moore, New Statesman

“Valerie Solanas wrote a very angry and very precise portrait of what she considered the male to be: something between a human and an ape; an unresponsive blob only concerned with physical sensation and without the capacity for empathy or self-knowledge or intimacy, and at the same time full of hatred and jealously and shame and guilt. Her description is beautiful and on some level, I think, entirely accurate.”
—Nick Cave

“Its nihilism is a form of utopia for Solanas, a pre-punk aesthete who fearlessly tossed out ideas that people are just now beginning to raise … As a mixture of social philosophy and fine shtick, her work has the rare virtue of seeming at the same time totally insane and totally right.”
—Los Angeles Times

“As Solanas reminds us, revolutionary ideas don’t emerge quietly from the elite stratum of a society; they often bloom from its scum.”
—Dissent

“Gleefully incoherent, crackling with energy.”
—Bookslut

“Articulate, angry and funny.”
—Guardian
