A full translation of Tiqqun's
"Raw Materials for a Theory of the Young-Girl"
(Premiers Matériaux pour une Théorie de la Jeune-Fille)
has appeared at
http://younggirl.jottit.com
a book written in 99 by the tiqqunsters of france, attacking the "cookie cutter" pseudo-persons created in accordance with the so called "YoungGirl," a "blueprint-person" which acts as a universal model in human relationships, lifestyles, body image, etc., and brings the empire ever closer to full physical domination over every human being ...even to their very genitals!
an attempt to describe the war zone's contours, the work, has been translated for an amerikan audience. The 'YoungGirl' FIGURE is a non-gendered one, not a sexualized concept but a chilling, disembodied ghost haunting the ruins of sexuality.
The back cover:
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 are slanderous of 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 a virginity that only justifies their powerlessness. We want none of that virginity nor of that powerlessness. We propose a different emotional education.
