Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Much of the ethnic art literature investigates how consumers define the value of ethnic cultural commodities and how consumer demand affects production processes. By revealing how Tibetan carpets became valuable in contemporary Lhasa, this article contributes to an emerging literature that critically examines the roles played by ethnic art producers themselves in the politics of value. Further, this article contributes to the Tibetan Cultural Studies literature by tracing the continuities and changes in the Lhasa carpet industry from the early 20th century to the early 21st century. The author’s analysis focuses on three chains of events: (1) the establishment of a carpet workshop by the Tibetan Government; (2) the formation of the first socialist carpet factory; and (3) the entry of international business ventures into the Lhasa carpet industry. She discusses the forms and scale of the struggles over the making of ‘valuable’ carpets, the roles played by Tibetan officials and overseas businessmen in the politics of value under different political–economic regimes, and the ways in which such politics not only presented challenges for Tibetan artisans, but also offered opportunities for empowerment.

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.
