Territories of Life: Equivocations, Entanglements, and Endurances
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Territories of Life highlights the multiplicity and heterogeneity of worlds and collectives, some labelled Indigenous, as they struggle to sustain their territories of life. “Territories of life” is the phrase used in this volume to speak about the shapes that these collectives or worlds adopt in the present as they endure the heavy shadow of modernization and coloniality. This label also highlights that the agencies that animate these struggles are never just human but also include entire more-than-human collectives. To portray the complexity of the relations between these collectives and the modernization front, the volume is organized around three keywords: equivocation, entanglement, and endurance. Each of the ten chapters is grounded in long-term ethnographic work from various countries, namely those colonially-known as Australia, Bolivia, Canada, Colombia, Paraguay, and Taiwan. The book offers a grounding to discuss the challenges and possibilities that exist for the continuation of territories of life that have endured, for the renewal of those that have been severely damaged, and for the creation of those that must flourish to sustain diverse modes of existence.

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.
