Abstract
This paper explores the way in which Canadian identity and split female subjectivity in Atwood’s The Journals of Susanna Moodie represents borderline states and the semiotic that substantiate dualities in Atwood’s poetry. While drawing upon Susanna Moodie, a 19th century emigrant Englishwoman, and her response to the Canadian landscape, the collection challenges the binary oppositions that regulate social and cultural behaviors. In so doing, Atwood presents wilderness where Moodie undergoes both self-division and an experience of harmonious natural order. Susanna Moodie’s construction of identity in relation to the wilderness, the threatening otherness, is a figure for Atwood’s interpretation of Canadian identity within the context of its immigration history and culture. The wilderness, as I would argue, could be interpreted in terms of Kristva’s concept of the abject in which the self experiences the boundary-subject. According to Kristeva, the abject, closely associated with the maternal body, resurfaces, triggering what may be described as the permeable boundaries between egos. In the collection, Moodie’s duality is a metaphor for Atwood’s aesthetics which resists fixing positions or structures in its violent duality.

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.
