Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Womanhood: Female SpacesThis chapter provides illustrative depictions of daily routines and activities of Jamaican women in empirically relevant social spaces in Montreal.Matching the actual course of the fieldwork, the written ethnography delves deeper into the life worlds of the interlocutors by passing through various places, narratives, and practices.These stages unveil individual experiences and challenges within the metropolis.Social space as a core concept highlighted by Bourdieu will serve as an entry point into this discussion."What exists is a social space, a space of differences, in which classes exist in some sense in a state of virtuality, not as something liable but as something to be done" (Bourdieu 1998: 12).Bourdieu explains how social actors occupy certain positions in social spaces through the distribution of economic and cultural capital (ibid.15), which he identifies as the central organizing component of any social space.Space is a construct, modified and structured through principles.Social actors take their positions within spaces by using their (own) capital resources and strengths.Through combining different capital of various actors, social space becomes a processual representation of lifestyles, cultural practices, choices, preferences, and economic abilities.Because of this, according to Bourdieu, individuals form groups based on their "realized" commonalities that constitute clusters or "sub-spaces" within a broader social space (Bourdieu 1998).Bourdieu's illustration of social space as a shared manifestation of a closely linked set of like-minded people is a useful approach for this study.However, in contrast to Bourdieu's considerations, geographical proximity of social actors is not the main component of communal interaction and relation in this study.Hence, physical distance or closeness are not the main components to determine self-positioning or identification within a group.The key spaces of Jamaican women in Montreal are, while being scattered across town, rather constructed via social networks of various social actors spanning across and beyond the urban environment of the city.The interpretation of practices related to the everyday geographies and symbolic spaces of the interlocutors in the city highlight this differentiation between interior and exterior, as well as the self-positioning of women, which is embedded in extensive spatial and virtual socio-cultural networks.Unlike Bourdieu's observation in Paris, these social spaces are constructed by cultural practices and 1 Her grandmother came from Jamaica back in the 1960s as a domestic worker, followed by Elisha's mother a few years later.Elisha grew up in a well-off home, bilingual, fully immersed into the local environment and studied at Concordia University.

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.
