Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Academia’s deep connections with artworld capitalist structures must be altered if we are truly to decolonize art history. Interrogating the predicament of university adjuncts teaching art history, this chapter engages Christine Delphy’s argument regarding hidden eddies of capitalist exploitation within patriarchal racism and Tina M. Campt’s theory of the politics of refusal, contending that the university is a space that egregiously enforces capitalist practices of coloniality’s sexism and racism. Drawing on my own experiences, I discuss Aboriginal Australian photographer and filmmaker Tracey Moffatt’s series of 19 photogravures Laudanum, and Indigenous American (Crow) photographer Wendy Red Star’s photograph Last Thanks, before turning to focus in-depth on Canadian First Nations (Mohawk Bay of Quinte) photographer and filmmaker Shelley Niro’s photographic works Ghosts, Girls, Grandmas (2004), The Rebel (1982/1987), and The Shirt (2003). In Niro’s work, I elucidate resistance to coloniality’s entanglement with capitalism. Her portraits of her mother, who cleaned houses and picked tobacco, evince feminist resistance as a family tradition, giving vivid presence to resistance to capitalist colonialist social violence. Similarly, in their role as barely compensated intellectual laborers, adjuncts in art history occupy a threshold space urgently needful of decolonization addressed through revising capitalism.

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.
