King Kong théorie
Book • 2006
In 'King Kong Theory', Virginie Despentes delivers a candid and powerful account of her life, intertwining personal experiences with feminist theory.
The book begins with her own rape at the age of 17 and delves into her subsequent experiences as a prostitute, punk, and filmmaker.
Despentes challenges common attitudes towards sex, gender, and capitalism, advocating for a new form of punk feminism.
She critiques the societal structures that marginalize women, particularly those who do not fit traditional feminine ideals, and argues that capitalism entraps everyone.
The book is a call for revolt and a manifesto for those excluded from the mainstream, including the 'ugly', the 'old', and the 'unfuckable'
