How does the language of pain circulate, connect, and reach across histories, gendered realities, and social politics? In what ways might the language of pain act on and transform the world by shaping and changing socio-political agendas? I explored these questions among women in Kosovo and discovered a unique symptomatic language which I call SymptomSpeak. SymptomSpeak is a powerful language evoked, shared, and exchanged by women to articulate political, social, and economic grievances, to challenge societal norms, and to demand justice. The language itself consists of a detailed symptom vocabulary which is variously assembled into meaning complexes. Such assemblages shift depending on the social context in which they are conveyed and are referred to as<jats:italic>nervoz<\/jats:italic>(nervousness),<jats:italic>m\u00ebrzitna<\/jats:italic>(worried, sad),<jats:italic>mzysh<\/jats:italic>(evil eye), and<jats:italic>t\u2019bone<\/jats:italic>(spell). I describe in detail how women variously combine and exchange components of SymptomSpeak and, thereby, question dominant framings of reality. Thereby, my intention is to contribute to a new understanding of pain as language which straddles the fine line between socio-political commentary and illness; produces gendered political realities; and challenges the status quo through its communicative power.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11013-021-09746-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,31]],"date-time":"2021-08-31T13:08:52Z","timestamp":1630415332000},"page":"739-760","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["SymptomSpeak: Women\u2019s Struggle for History and Health in Kosovo"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"46","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6467-1493","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanna","family":"Kienzler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,31]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"9746_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.1080\/13534640110119597","volume":"8","author":"Sara Ahmed","year":"2002","unstructured":"Ahmed, Sara 2002 The Contingency of Pain.
