Lost and Found in (Self-)Translation: From Colonial to Post-colonial Contexts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The introduction to this special issue discusses (self-)translation processes and products of migrant and colonized Indigenous peoples in translation and cultural studies scholarship, as well as the creation of minor paintings and literature by these peoples in order to affirm the existence of their languages and cultures. It nuances the linguistic, cultural and identitary tribulations to which colonized and migratory peoples are subjected, the double-edged sword of (self-)translation, and the paradoxical gains that can be found by going through its, at times, painful process. Ways in which (self-)translation can be used to empower dominated, often endangered, languages and cultures are also analyzed, before presenting, very briefly, the articles published in the issue

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
