Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article investigates M. NourbeSe Philip’s recent collection of poetry, Zong! (2008) in which the poetess attempts to reconstruct history and extend the limits of memory. The book recounts the 1781 story of the slave ship Zong, whose captain threw 132 African slaves overboard for the insurance money. The traumatic story is told through fragments of voices and memories through which Philip unsettles the forms of canonical English poetry and exploits the limits of the page. Her writing encourages the reader to share her African spiritual quest and her triangular journey from the Caribbean to Canada and back to West Africa. Philip’s poetry demonstrates how boundless diasporic spaces can be, as the Diaspora displaces home and away, here and elsewhere, thus constantly redefining the limits of its own horizon.

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.
