Abstract

thnic identity and differance: surely an untenable conjunction. Well, purpose of my essay is to suggest that such a conjunction is not only tenable, but also desirable and, in a sense, ineluctable. My paper then articulates intersection of with differe(a)nce and goes on to suggest ways in which this reciprocal identification can, on one hand, historicize and situate radical politics ofindeterminancy while, on other, situate politics of empowerment as a transgression of algorithm of identity. The constituency of the ethnic occupies quite literally a prepost-erous space where it has to actualize, enfranchize, and empower its own identity and coextensively engage in deconstruction of very logic of identity and its binary and exclusionary politics. Failure to achieve this doubleness can only result in formation of ethnicity as yet another identical and hegemonic structure. The difficult task is to achieve an axial connection between historico-se-

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
