Constructing Aboriginal and Dalit Women's Subjectivity and Making 'Difference' Speak: An Illustration through the Writings of Jackie Huggins, Kumud Pawde and Bama
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The present study attempts an examination of the construction of 'the subject' in the life-writings of Australian Aboriginal writer Jackie Huggins and the Indian Dalit writers Bama and Kumud Pawde. Prior to this venture, I presented a similar transnational study of Bama's Sangati and First Nations Canadian writer Lee Maracle's I Am Woman. Both texts are exclusively about the women of their respective commu - nities. The paper highlighted the points of intersection and difference in these two women's reflections on the hegemonies in their respective situations, namely of colonialism and casteism. Caren Kaplan and Inderpal Grewal's theory of transnational feminism proved to be an excellent facilitator for a comparative study of the writings and expe - riences of women as removed in time and space as the writers Lee Maracle and Bama.

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.
