Imagined Geographies: Mapping the Oriental Habitus in the Nineteenth Century British Novel
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper is premised on a rejection of the liberal humanist paradigm, which prioritizes the subjectivity of the protagonist(s). I will look at the novel as a spatial narrative and dwell on the use of space as a constitutive category in the nineteenth century British novel. I intend to use the neologisms coined by sociologist Pierre Bourdieu to examine the matrix between domesticity, feminine subjectivity and Orientalism in Jane Austen's Mansfield Park (1814), Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre (1847) and Wilkie Collin's The Moonstone (1868). The essay will contest post-colonial reading by Said, Bhabha and Spivak by examining the various parameters which influenced the English constitution of the Orient during the long nineteenth century. The argument is essentially two pronged: I will look at the generation of 'truth', embroiled within the Foucauldian matrix of knowledge and power and go on to examine the ruptures(if any) which generate 'dissent' in the novels under consideration.

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.
