review 1: "Concepts made for war don’t need to be unanimous. And it’s only natural that they’d be reproached for those aspects of them in which they slander the realities that they make visible. And as for those who have successfully blinded themselves to the nonetheless massive fact of the YoungGirl, that’s not all they’re blind to. It’s not the theory of the YoungGirl that is the product of misogyny, but the YoungGirl herself. Open any women’s magazine and you’ll see. The YoungGirl’s not always young, and she’s not always a girl; she is but the figure of total integration into a social totality that’s disintegrating. When fools protest against the evidence that “the world isn’t a commodity” (and, by the way, that they aren’t either) they’re feigning... more a virginity that only justifies their powerlessness. We want none of that virginity nor of that powerlessness. We propose a different emotional education."
review 2: Okay, so this is Tiqqun, and I like Tiqqun generally. I always like Ariana Reines.I am home to so many ambivalences about this piece that I'm still processing what is going on with it. First of all: I think Tiqqun may have fucked up. I'll update this review when I have a more coherent idea of why I think that. This fucking book. God. It's great.Whatever I come to conclude, I think that: A) It's super important for feminism to digest this book and come up with something. B) I want more things written in such viscerally confusing ways. C) I think if you finish this book and your head isn't spinning you probably need to spend more time with it. less
