Unfortunately, the entire process of making the complaint is laid with privatizing the complaint.
Compared with making criticism, during the procedure of making a complaint mostly have the I, or first person.
So relevantly, the complaint itself involves – who struggles with making a complaint – I, the first person that is speaking.
This person is directly concerned as a complainer which is easily entailed to a label or document as Sara Ahmed said.
And during the complaint work, I realized “Me and my complaint could not be separated.”
Internalizing the complaint naturally happens to I, but not to others. At the same time, I even experience that people equated me and my complaint.
“My complaint is not my whole, but still, this is affecting me”
For approving the existing I, existing complaint, the first person has become a speaker again and again.
Through enduring pain, their bodies [voice, face, tremble … ] represent testimony.
And It began to be a citation.
If bodies can end up in documents, and documents can end up in files, bodies can also be files or perhaps bodies can be filing cabinets, holders of multiple files. What is filed away by institutions can be stored in our bod- ies, experienced often as weight. The body of the complainer is a testimony to the work of complaint
