Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The new heralded by the U.S.-led war on terrorism poses a challenge that postcolonial studies can best respond to by re-examining its own institutional and ideological heritage. The article traces the development of postcolonial studies, pointing in particular to the manner in which postcolonial studies has rejected Marxism as a theoretical framework; nationalism as a potentially liberatory project; and imperialism as a necessary concept in analysing the capitalist world system. This triple elision, it is argued, results in a mystification of the forms of power and domination characteristic of capitalism today. The article concludes with a critique of Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's Empire, suggesting that a more accurate appreciation of the current world system requires a more rigorously applied Marxist analytic.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
