DUQUE, Tiago. "Do not touch me on monday": diference, abjection and identity in an extension project, on Pantanal campus of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul. Rev. Reflex [online]. 2017, vol.25, n.1, pp.22-37. ISSN 1982-9949.  https://doi.org/10.17058/rea.v25i1.7858.

This experience report focuses on the extension project "Reading meetings on gender and sexuality", held in the Pantanal Campus of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, in 2014 and 2015. The action was coordinated by Psychology student, under my guidance. I present, here, the log and the development of the activities, as well as the visibility effects of the meetings in the local context. I discuss, from a post-structuralist point of view, how gender and sexuality, besides being the subject of the project, also help us to evaluate the low attendance of the thirty-six people who sporadically attended the fifteen meetings. Aversion to abjection, that is, to the not positive recognition of gender and sexuality performances that do not necessarily match the matrix of intelligibility "'sex' = gender = desire", it is seen as an important factor for the evaluation of the experience and of the own cultural context of the Brazil-Bolivia border.

Keywords : Difference; Abjection; Identity; Border; Extension.
