Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In “Risking Nationalism: NAFTA and the Limits of the New American Studies” (1997), Bryce Traister draws on Amy Kaplan to caution against favouring models of pluralism in American studies that leave “national borders intact without interrogating their formation” (Kaplan 15). Conversely, many Canadianists remain deeply sceptical about both borderlands studies and hemispheric studies. Rather than dismissing American depictions of Canada outright as clichéd and stereotyped, it would behove scholars to consider why there is a long-standing American tradition of writers employing Canada, literally and figuratively (frequently by moving characters across the forty-ninth parallel), to deeply explore American concerns and why this fictional migration matters—both for Canadians and Americans. This article inverts the fearful presumptions cultivated by Canadians about America by using Richard Ford's Canada as a test case for such an analysis.

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.

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.
