Snow Leopards, Checkpoints, and Roads: Negotiating Selective Legibility in Hemis National Park, India
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Established with the goal of protecting endangered species, Hemis National Park in Ladakh, India, is a hotspot for trekkers and wildlife tourism. A process of selective legibility operates inside the park, as the conditions that make wildlife legible to the state are effectively rendering residents illegible because the building of infrastructure inside the park is either denied or delayed. Today, residents’ subsistence is largely predicated on the conditions of illegibility, as tourism-related incomes have displaced traditional agro-pastoral activities. Residents, however, have strong aspirations for roads, the absence of which complicates life within the national park. As the developing road network threatens to disturb residents’ subsistence, they developed a checkpoint, a device that recreates conditions of illegibility by preventing vehicle traffic inside the park. Ultimately, this article calls for attention to the creative ways communities negotiate their relationship with the state when facing a governance over space that leaves them marginalised.

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.
