Abstract
The concept of ethnicity has advanced and retreated as an object of anthropological interest. A central concern of studies of nationalism and modernity, it faded from view, only to reappear more recently tied to questions around the commodification of identity. This article traces the relational concept of ethnicity, understood to be part of a semiotic constellation with nation and race, as linked to the legitimization of social inequality in the rise of liberal democracy and industrial capitalism. Ethnicity was initially mobilized in the making of the modern nation-state as tied to criteria of access to political rights (through which access to economic resources was distributed). However, the most recent crisis of capitalism, often understood as “globalization,” has rendered the semiotic attributes of ethnicity as an identity category tied to political rights available to be mobilized as economic resources in and of themselves. This shift has destabilized the workings of this category, leading to difficulties in boundary production and reproduction, as well as sapping its ability to serve as a basis for mobilizing resistance to inequality.

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 it
