About this deal

You have to think about the impact of doing this. Because having yet another complaint, it means that you give more credibility to the one who comes after you. When you talk about haunting you are talking about the size of the graveyard. And I think this is important. Because when you have one tombstone, one lonely little ghost, it doesn’t actually have any effect; you can have a nice cute little cemetery outside your window, but when you start having a massive one, common graveyards and so on, it becomes something else; it becomes much harder to manage. Hey Sara, I was present at Lahore skype call for your book Living a Feminist Life, your work has literally been so therapeutic for me and just helped me unlearn so much about what it means to be living a queer life so thank you for all your efforts… hope we can arrange another skype session. Feminist theory, lesbian feminism, queer theory, critical race theory, postcolonialism, affect theory If complaint collectives are formed to keep a complaint going, complaint collectives can keep us going” (Sara Ahmed)

Book Review: Complaint! by Sara Ahmed | Impact of Social Sciences

I have a simple premise,’ Ahmed has written. ‘The experience of identifying and challenging abuses of power teaches us about power.’ At this free lecture, she’ll outline her findings. References can be doors: how some are given a route through, how others are stopped from progressing. When the door is closed on her complaint, and also on her, she will not be there, bringing to the institution what she might have brought to it, the door is kept open for him. When the door is open for him, he can keep doing because what he has been doing where he has been doing it: behind closed doors. Ahmed, Sara (3 February 2017). "Out and About". Feminist Killjoys. wordpress.org . Retrieved 16 March 2017.

To be clear: this last tactic is not mine to claim. As above, I cannot complain simply by appearing in a white institution, an institution that is made for me. My white, female presence is not a complaint in and of itself; it is a reproductive body for white supremacy (Lugones 2007). W]hiteness can be just as occupying of issues or spaces when they are designated decolonial” (158). Diversity work is one of Ahmed's common topics. Included in many of her works, including Living a Feminist Life and On Being Included, it is a concept that makes tangible what it means to live a feminist life day to day in institutions. To Ahmed, diversity work is "[learning] about the techniques of power in the effort to transform institutional norms or in an effort to be in a world that does not accommodate our being." Diversity work is not any one thing. It is the act of trying to change an institution, and also simply the act of existing in one when it was not meant for you. She draws upon her experiences as a woman of color in academia and the works of others, including Chandra Talpade Mohanty, M. Jacqui Alexander, and Heidi Mirza.

Sara Ahmed: On Complaint - The Wheeler Centre Sara Ahmed: On Complaint - The Wheeler Centre

This is audacious but persuasive critique, which accrues its power by stealth. Complaint! is dense with insight, but admirably lucid."Closing a door can sometimes be a survival strategy; she closes the door to the institution by withdrawing herself, her commitments, from it. She still does her work; she still teaches her students. She uses the door to shut out what she can, who she can. She takes herself off the door; she depersonalises it. And she pulls down the blinds and she pulls on a mask, the mask of her people, connecting her fight to the battles that came before, because, quite frankly, for her, this is a war.

Sara Ahmed always has her finger on the pulse of the times as she assists us to explore the deeper meanings and philosophical nuances of quotidian concepts and practices. Beautifully written and thoroughly engaging, Complaint! is precisely the text we need at this moment as we seek to understand and transform the institutional structures promoting racism and heteropatriarchy.”
