Language/truths: Power, disenfranchisement, and politics in northern British Columbian poetics.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Northern British Columbian poetry from communities like Prince George is often marginalized by literary centres of power. The economic realities of resource-based towns are the foreground in Ken Belford's, George Stanley's, and Barry McKinnon's writing. Their poetry enacts resistance in the face of global capitalism and homogenizing economic forces. Ferdinand De Saussure's language theory and Jean Baudrillard's concepts of simulacra and radical thought' show the arbitrary and illusory qualities of writing. Edward Soja's theory of spatiality and Felix Guattari's ecosophy' posit that landscapes are divided into three interdependent and interpenetrating spatial spheres: physical, mental, and social. These theories are used to present landscape cohesively as a venue of contestation and change. As a further means of addressing the disenfranchisement of Northern B.C. writers, I have written a collection of poetry exploring local politics, resistance to globalizing capitalism, and attitudes about Northern B.C. poetics.

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.
