Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This essay intervenes in debates on visibility in Asian Canadian literary criticism by engaging with Kim Fu’s novel, For Today I Am a Boy, through Rey Chow’s theorization of capture in Entanglements. In Asian Canadian literary criticism, the idea of visibility is both a demand and a site of critique. Fu’s novel responds to the doubled experience of being invisible and yet all too visible as a minority subject. This essay is interested not only in how visibility functions as a trap, but also in how the experience of being trapped can be one that captivates. For Today brings into relief the relentlessness of the entanglement of race, of its seemingly inescapable visibility, and calls it out for the trap that it is. In so doing, Fu’s novel demands an engagement with what it means to be held by something and to be caught in beholding.

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.
