Citizenship and the politics of acknowledgement: The construction of the ‘other’ as sexualised and embodied ‘strangers’
Bibliographic record
Abstract
I examine the politics of acknowledgement, integral to the enactment of citizenship, and examine the ways by which citizens on the basis of race and sexuality are treated as ‘strangers’ through a construction of them as sexualised and embodied beings. I undertake my analysis through a discussion of the essentialising processes by which sexually-exploited children, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered as well as Black people are characterised solely in terms of the sexualised embodied ‘other’ and discriminated from the normatively assumed disembodied citizen. By deliberately choosing to treat each group as distinct I highlight the hegemonic nature of normative practices that repeatedly use sexuality and embodiment as exclusionary sites. This gets further reiterated in my examination of social institutional assumptions and practices commonly experienced by all three groups that are characterised by violence, stigma and the refusal to endorse these citizens’ their rights of protection or well-being.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
