Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Scholarship on human mobility typically references ‘migration’ uncritically in the concept of the territorial nation‐state. This scholarly practice is problematic because it understates human mobility and ‘migrant’ identities at non‐national scales, reproduces the nation‐state as an ontological category vis‐à‐vis human mobility, and stifles the imagination of mobility in ways that are de‐linked from the territorial nation‐state. In this article, I build on the existing literature in geography and other disciplines to first elaborate on the link between ‘migration’ and the nation‐state in research on human mobility. Then, I destabilise this link by exploring the contradictions of the role of ‘migration’ in contemporary settler societies and ethnic nations, and by discussing the examples of N o B order politics and recent feminist writing on the global intimate. Finally, I illustrate how critical practice can engage in the formation of new subject identities and facilitate transformative action.

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.
