Negativity has been widely framed through Edelman's 'no future' orientation. While being productive, this orientation forecloses the potential negativity to foster coalitional alliances. Building off previous works about Valerie Solanas, I turn toward an investigation of the negative affective traces of her SCUM Manifesto to create paths of meaning-making beyond Edelman's accounting. First, I examine how Solanas uses negative affect in her work. Second, I build from contemporary re-framings of negativity to imagine a possible reparative reading of SCUM. I argue that through her use of lived experience-specifically her narratives of violence, SCUM challenges the reader's engagement with negativity. Within SCUM, there is a potential path of meaning-making through Solanas' invocation of her own lived experience
