Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this article the authors provide a general overview of the controversies associated with urban street fiction, a brief introduction to the genre and an introduction to the complex representations of Black adolescent femininity within two contemporary titles, Black and Ugly (Styles, 2006) and Bitch (King, 2006). The authors provide a critical textual analysis that focuses on how women authors of urban street fiction rely upon and resist popular stereotypical representations of Black adolescent girls in their work. The authors argue that reading urban street fiction is a powerful out‐of‐school literacy practice that invites critical attention from educators. تلخيص البحث: في هذه المقالة يقدم المؤلفون نبذة عامة عن المناقشات المتعلقة بالأدب الخيالي بشأن الشارع المدني ومقدمة موجزة لهذا الجنس من الأدب وكذلك مقدمة للصور النمطية المعقدة لدى أنثوية المراهقات السود في كتابين معاصرين بالعناوين سوداء وقبيحة (ستايلز، 2006) وكلبة (كنغ، 2006). ويوفر المؤلفون تحليلاً نقدياً للنص يركز على الطريقة التي تعتمد فيها مؤلفات أدب الشارع المدني الخيالي على الصور النمطية المنتمية إلى المراهقات السود في عملهم. إذ يقدم المؤلفون الحجة بأن قراءة أدب الشارع المدني الخيالي هي ممارسة أدبية قوية تثير انتباهاً نقدياً من المعلمين. 本文作者概述有关城市街头小说的争议,简介该种小说的体裁,并介紹两本当代小说《黑与丑》(Styles,2006)和《母犬》(King,2006)中所描述的黑人青少年女性的复杂表征。就城市街头小说妇女作者在她们的作品中,如何依赖,如何抗拒黑人青少年女性的流行定型表征,本文作者提供了一个批判式的语篇分析。作者认为,阅读城市街头小说是一种强而有力的校外读写文化实践,能引起教育工作者对其作批判性的关注。 Dans cet article les auteurs présentent une vue d'ensemble des controverses en fiction de la rue urbaine, une brève introduction au genre et une introduction aux représentations complexes de la féminité des adolescentes noires au sein de deux titres contemporains, Noir et laid (Styles, 2006) et Sorcière (King, 2006). Les auteurs effectuent une analyse textuelle critique centrée sur la façon dont les auteurs femmes de fiction de la rue urbaine s'appuient sur les représentations stéréotypées des adolescentes noires et y font face dans leur travail. Les auteurs soutiennent que la lecture de fiction de la rue urbaine est une puissante pratique non scolaire qui invite à une attention critique de la part des pédagogues. Читатели познакомятся с кратким обзором дискуссий о художественной литературе, посвященной городской уличной жизни, и получат представление о самом жанре и сложных, многогранных образах юных афроамериканок, выведенных в двух современных произведениях: Черные и уродливые (Styles, 2006) и Сука (King, 2006). Критический анализ текста сосредоточен на том, в какой мере авторы‐женщины опираются на существующие стереотипы о жизни чернокожих подростков и в какой мере они эти стереотипы отвергают. Авторы статьи уверены, что чтение такой прозы – важный пласт общения с печатным словом вне школьной программы, и он требует пристального внимания педагогов. En este artículo los autores ofrecen un repaso general de la polémica sobre la ficción urbana, una breve introducción al género y una introducción a las complejas representaciones de la mujer adolescente de color en dos obras contemporáneas, Black and Ugly (Styles, 2006) y Bitch (King, 2006). Los autores hacen un análisis textual crítico de cómo las autoras de ficción sobre la calle urbana dependen de y rechazan las representaciones estereotípicas populares de las adolescentes de color en sus obras. Los autores proponen que leer ficción sobre la calle urbana es una práctica muy poderosa para la lectura fuera del salón de clase que invita a los educadores a darle atención crítica.

Not 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.
