Abstract
Beginning from my own sense (as a romanticist and theorist who a postcolonial scholar) that the relations between who one is and what one does are highly complex, mediated, and oblique, this paper takes up the problematic nature of a current identity politics that interpellates scholars from visible minorities into working on their own ethnicities. I argue that postcolonialism part of a postmodern continuation of the Enlightenment public sphere, and that the public sphere of civil society, even though it arose as a way of providing enlightened criticism of the state, itself a form of what Foucault calls governmentality which, in this case, encourages compulsory ethnicity because of its usefulness for global Capital. Analysing this governmentality from the perspective of JeanPaul Sartre's demystification of the 'group and Jean-Luc Nancy's and Jean-Francois Lyotard's notions of community and the differend respectively, I suggest that the real contribution of a postcolonialism that stresses migrancy and displacement might lie, so much in the formation of new diasporic group identities, as in the very structure of not belonging that leads one to be perpetually uneasy with all group identities and institutions, past and present.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
