Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article concentrates on the representation of food and eating in Hiromi Goto's novels, The Kappa Child and Chorus of Mushrooms . In these novels, eating is a gendered and cultural act that charts how the characters see themselves psychologically, emotionally, and nationally as Canadians. Using a framework that connects feminist psychoanalysis and postcolonialism, and concentrates on the writings of philosopher Julia Kristeva, this article examines concepts of identity and subjectivity in connection with the positive, psychologically transformative power food has in the novels. Often linking consumption to moments of identity slippage or abjection, eating in both novels connects to how the characters push against and play with the boundaries of their identities and, in turn, come to terms with themselves and their families.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
