Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This essay builds on Walter Johnson’s “On Agency” to reflect on how the concept of the liberal subject as agent has been understood in Euro-American and Japanese intellectual discourses on Asia and especially Japan. It begins with a discussion of “the subject” in Orientalism and Liberalism and its entanglements with historicist and imperialist understandings of a progressive “West” and laggard “East,” as well as the travels of Orientalist discourse from Europe to Asia. It then considers how postcolonial interventions as well as Foucault’s critique of the liberal subject have stimulated a rethinking of the self-constituting agent of choice and ends with thoughts on how a multiply spirited notion of the subject may offer suggestions for conceptualizing an alternative agent of action and social responsibility who refuses the self-importance of a singular subject.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
