Before the project action starts, this kick-off meeting revisits the newly funded project plan, both in terms of substance and planned schedules and practices. The substance work starts with the reading of the recently published book by Judith Butler on anti-gender, and analysing it in terms of the project’s focus on the concepts of ‘minority’, ‘majority’, and the ‘people’.
