Swargajyoti Gohain, Imagined Geographies in the Indo-Tibetan Borderlands: Culture, politics, place
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The people of Monyul, a Tibetan Buddhist cultural region in west Arunachal Pradesh, Northeast India, hold aspirations for local autonomy.In this sophisticated monograph, anthropologist Swargajyoti Gohain explores the many textures of Monpa ambitions as these are 'overlaid by transregional imaginations that are pan-Himalayan in nature' (p14).2 Rooted in long-term fieldwork in Tawang and West Kameng districts, Gohain's text is one of continued intellectual refinement, exploring the complex cultural identities (language, place names, oral traditions) and transregional networks of connection that shape contemporary politics in Monyul.Gohain's analysis is set against the indelible backdrop of the unresolved border dispute festering between India and China.Imagined Geographies takes on a great deal and Gohain has high expectations of what she can convey in her text as well as what her reader can digest.At no point in this engaging and textured monograph are we at all disappointed.Imagined Geographies is contemporary anthropology at its very best: ethnographically rich, analytically rigorous and theoretically omnivorous.

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.
