Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article grapples with the question of how to commemorate transatlantic slavery within a diasporic context. It looks critically at various acts of monumentalism and their historical use in the writing of national narratives. Proposing the need for alternate sites of remembrance, the paper offers a reading of Dionne Brand’s novel At the Full and Change of the Moon (1999), in order to examine the roles fiction might play in commemorating slavery. Using a theoretical framework informed by Édouard Glissant, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Hortense Spillers and Katherine McKitrrick, the paper examines acts of corporeal commemoration enacted by various female characters within Brand’s novel, to interrogate the ways monumentalism is often both a nationalist and a masculinist project.

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.
