In its first release, Gender*Language centres objectification and the (lack of) queer agency in this process.

When examining operations of power, how do we navigate the imposed duality between subject and object? Are we, as products of late-capitalist society, not all subjected to objectification? Do we derive pleasure from this transgression upon our personhood? And, does that mean we should be ok with it? 

Mediation of and through the body always occurs in relation to its context. Do interactions with and within existing spaces allow for the unfolding of new modes of existence? Should we attempt to resist these inscriptions entirely or should we rather question the ways in which we impose ourselves on our environment? 

At what point do we choose to object?
And what language does our objection speak? 

Are we able to be(come) object? 
And/or are we able to negate the subjectivity (of others)? 

Did you ever go from being a person to being an ‘item’? 

Speaking of(/for) — what about objects? Do ‘they’ even get a say in the matter?
Is our reluctance to ascribe agency to the inanimate an expression of a pre-supposed anthropocentric superiority? 

How can we recognise the moment change is effectively being achieved? And when does ‘shifting the narrative’ entail a reproduction of the same structures of polarity it seeks to undo as we substitute
‘one’ for ‘the other’,
subject and object,
active and passive,
doing and done-to?
