Abstract
In her production, the Zimbabwean writer Yvonne Vera (1964–2005) has dealt with the violence-shaded past of her home country. Marginalized stories of women and specific moments in the national history are closely intertwined in Vera's work, challenging thus the wavering boundary constructed between the private and the public. Vera's iterative return to the past bespeaks the author's commitment to make visible some disturbing and violent memories in the nation's history, including gendered violence during the years of the freedom fight. By engaging in the task of coming in terms with the traumatic memories of the past, the writer undertakes the position of a witness and a healer, articulating through her work an ethical gesture towards a better future and a viable communality.

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
