Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

AbstractIn this article I read the representation of fashion in a selection of women's writings as instances of how women writers communicate with their readership, if not constitute an implied readership with those who share an understanding of the complexities of fashion and its various meanings in everyday life. This process of communication constitutes a mode of “transactional reading,” a way of reading objects in everyday life in order to negotiate their meanings and values for subjective and aesthetic experience. Such negotiations are intended to both elucidate as well transform the alienation effect of commodities in the advanced capitalist territories of North America and elsewhere. Specifically, I consider Toni Morrison's novel The Bluest Eye, Carolyn Steedman's materialist autobiography Landscape for a Good Woman, Jamaica Kincaid's materialist biography Biography of a Dress, Anna Lee Walters's short story “Apparitions,” and Linda Hogan's “New Shoes.” These writers demonstrate that transactional readings are already embedded in their literary work and that the value of the “literary” lies, perhaps, in its encounters with everyday materialities of desire, change, and signification.KEYWORDS: women's literaturetransactional readingsrepresentations of fashionglobalization

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
