Abstract
From the author’s Canadian-based perspective, this paper investigates the contexts of the politics of postcoloniality in the contemporary period to query the relation between decolonising the state and decolonising the mind as it is currently being theorized in academic circles. Working through a variety of slogans that now limit the productivity of a politics of postcoloniality (the “politics of blame,” strategies of “them and us,” the assumptions behind “speaking truth to power” and “the personal is political”), the paper advocates attention to alternatives that balance critique with imagining otherwise. Arguing that postcolonial politics take place within a larger crisis of politics itself, the paper suggests that foundational assumptions (about citizenship, civility, public and private spheres) embedded within liberation struggles and the academic study of the postcolonial require further clarification within contexts of “unlearning” and the acceptance of “dilemmatic spaces” of engagement. In working through the ideological and institutional constraints facing postcolonial studies today, the paper finds hope in several different engagements with indigeneous cultures and histories that seek to revise the conditions through which political dialogue might take place.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
