Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

451 María Lugones’ text demonstrates the colonial introduction of the modern concept of gender. While colonization might be thought of as formally over in many parts of the world, its enduring legacies of racialization, dehumanization, and extractive capitalism persist through what scholars call coloniality. For decolonial feminist scholars, gender is a product of colonial modernity; it is a colonial imposition that consistently renews the man/woman dichotomy as a normative construction of the social order. In order to decolonize gender, then, we have to think with a different set of tools than that which coloniality gave us. We have to take the perspective of colonial difference as a located, situated, lived experience of cosmologies, or lifeworlds. Resisting the coloniality of gender cannot happen from a pure space outside coloniality; it cannot happen via seeking parity with our superiors. Instead, we require dialogue where we take seriously the contradictions between different cosmologies, by inhabiting border spaces that straddle the differences between different worlds. By engaging in a feminist border-thinking, Lugones shows how the place of colonial difference is crucial to the production of decolonial feminist knowledge.

Not 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.
