(Re)Visualising Slavery: An Outlook on the Indian Ocean and Indonesian Archipelago
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" class="first" dir="auto" id="d8667125e119">The Dutch history of slavery in the Indonesian archipelago and the Indian Ocean has only recently begun to gain traction as a (potential) part of the Dutch slavery canon, which has been dominated by a focus on transatlantic research and societal interest. Second, only recently, visual sources on slavery have gained more interest. Third, and more generally, a more critical outlook is being used when analysing the colonial past. Taken together, these developments mark a larger shift in recent engagement with the history of slavery in general, and the Dutch history of slavery in particular, making it all the more important to look critically at how this past has been visually represented and imagined, and what that signifies. What can we learn about slavery from visual sources that have played a role in shaping and reinforcing traditional representations of slavery, especially in the Indonesian archipelago and the Indian Ocean area? And how can visual sources help break the (visual) silence of slavery in the Indonesian archipelago? This chapter attempts to cast some light on these questions.

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.
