Abstract
This chapter discusses <italic>Lissa: A Story about Medical Promise, Friendship, and Revolution</italic>, an inaugural book of the University of Toronto Press that is based on Sherine Hamdy's ethnographic work on organ transplantation in Egypt and Coleman Nye's research on cancer genetics in the United States. It describes <italic>Lissa</italic> as a graphic work of what the groundbreaking ethnographic filmmaker Jean Rouch called “ethnofiction.” It also follows two women in <italic>Lissa</italic> as they grapple with difficult medical decisions in the context of the popular uprisings that began in January 2011. The chapter explores the collaborative dimension of <italic>Lissa</italic> at the heart of its success in reaching a range of audiences within and beyond anthropology, while also making valuable methodological contributions to the field. It cites <italic>Lissa</italic> as a unique example of the possibilities of collaborative scholarship to unsettle conventional ideas of authorship, expertise, voice, text, theory, and study.

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.
