Recognizing the Body as Being Political: Considering Arendt’s Concepts in the Context of Homelessness in Japan
Bibliographic record
Abstract
People who are homeless inhabit public spaces; their bodies appear. Yet, they are not often seen as individuals with remarkable sufferings caused by invisibility in society. While thinking alongside the ideas elaborated by the German Jewish political theorist and philosopher, Hannah Arendt, I consider the possibility of a political act called forth by attending to the body of people who are homeless. By drawing on Arendt’s deliberations on human rights and citizenship and private and public realms, I attend to the incongruence emerging between the sociopolitical constructions of the bodies and the corporeal bodies shaping the worlds. Using narrative inquiry, I weave the voices, stories, and lived experiences of two men, Yoshi and Ama, who have been homeless in Japan for more than ten years. By doing so, it points that the body of people who are homeless can be understood as a political action against human recognition which creates suffering.

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.
