Movements of power and acts of resistance, Falun Gong and the politics of everyday life
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Any attempt to appreciate the complex reality of the Falun Gong from a political perspective is immediately challenged by the limitations of available discourse to evaluate the political character of the silent performance of morning exercises in Chinese parks by individuals belonging to widely contrasting social, educational and economic backgrounds. Three possible analyses of the Falun Gong's resistance are offered: as an example of a Human Security concern featuring a necessary tension between an unstable State and its members; as an example of a New Social Movement, through which the foundation and organization of the group can be seen to reflect similar movements worldwide; and as an expression of a type of non-discursive political resistance which is located in the bricolage of everyday activities. These discussions allow consideration of various locations where the political in the Falun Gong may be (simultaneously) located, while also allowing further meditation upon the strategic possibilities implied by such non-violent, trans-societal activism for dominated communities worldwide.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
