Picture Books on Asian Transnational/-Racial Adoption
Bibliographic record
Abstract
After an exploration on the function of picture books on Asian transnational/-racial adoption, this essay examines selected picture books that are divided into two groups: pre- and post-legal adoption narratives. I argue that in the course of demystifying the mono-ethnic or mono-cultural norm of kinship and family, a re-mystification simultaneously occurs in the narratives of both pre- and post-legal adoption picture books. Picture books may function to cultivate a healthy degree of psychological mobility and prepare adopted children to confront and later on even to assume a lack and a split they share with the Other. J'explorerai tout d'abord la fonction des livres d'images sur l'adoption asiatique transnationale-transraciale, et j'examinerai les livres d'images sélectionnés que je divise en deux groupes : récits avant et récits après l'adoption légale. Je fais valoir qu'au cours de la démystification de la norme mono-ethnique ou mono-culturelle de la parentalité et de la famille, une remystification survient simultanément dans les récits des livres d'images sur l'adoption, avant et après l'adoption en bonne et due forme. Ces livres peuvent servir à cultiver suffisamment de mobilité psychologique et à préparer les enfants adoptés à affronter et même à assumer un manque et un dédoublement qu'ils partagent avec l'Autre.

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.
