Abstract
Discourses of Dissent constitutes the first book-length study of Marlene NourbeSe Philip's work. Poet, playwright essayst and novelist, Philip (Tobago, 1947-) has extensively written on the meaning of blackness in Canada and the Caribbean, and the experiences of those transported across the Atlantic, either in the form of the vicious uprooting of slavery or as participants in the contemporary process of diaspora. All the way along She Tries Her Tongue, Her Silence Softly Breaks (1987) and Looking for Livingstone, An Odyssey of Silence (1991), Philip articulates a particular discourse of dissent based on creatively mapping the experiences supressed by slavery and cultural displacement or, on the attempt at reconstructing the silence presumably existing in Africa before the European colonisation. The strategic parallax for such an intention is provided by the shifting location engendered by diaspora and transculturation, two axes from which Philip's prose and poetry refuse easy categorisation, as the subjects of her poetic work also do.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
