A Ugandan Poet Remembers the Rwanda Genocide on Facebook in Canada: The Transnational Aesthetics of Juliane Okot Bitek’s 100 Days (2016)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In 2014, Juliane Okot Bitek decided to commemorate twenty years of the Rwanda Genocide by writing a poem a day for 100 days on her Facebook page. This sequence of poems was later published in 2016 by the Alberta University Press as 100 Days which won the 2017 Glenna Luschei Prize for African Poetry and was nominated for three other prizes – the 2017 Pat Lowther Award, the 2017 Dorothy Livesay Award for Poetry, and the 2016 Foreword INDIES Award for Poetry. This paper explores four issues: the significance of Facebook and other social media as the space where the poems were first published; the major issues that Bitek raises in this collection; the manner in which she raises them; and finally, but not the least, the transnational aspects of the collection.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
