Abstract
The two decades after the beginning of the 1990s saw a paradigm shift across various academic fields, one that also sustainably changed literary and cultural studies.During this time, as a result of the interdisciplinary research of the socioeconomic phenomenon of globalization, North American literary and cultural studies were increasingly denationalizing, reflecting the world-wide globalization process with its increased connectivity and convergence, the erosion of borders, and a growing multidirectional migration.At the same time, interethnic writing was gaining significance, particularly in Canadian multicultural literature and Asian American literature, and established schools of urbanism were performing in-depth studies of global cities as global cultural nodal points in a global network of flows and as major points of intersection for different ethnicities.This co-existence of the rising significance of interethnic writing and the greater understanding of global urbanism has meant that the urban literature of the time illustrates and reflects the multiplicity of cultural diversity in a globalizing age.As this work's title 'DiverCity -Global Cities as a Literary Phenomenon' expresses, the literary representation of cultural diversity in a globalizing age is analyzed by focusing on the North American global cities of Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles.The neologism 'diverCity,' a compound blend of 'diversity' and 'city,' stresses this study's emphasis of the impact of cultural diversity in a globalizing age on global cities as a literary phenomenon.Thus, globalization functions as the temporal frame, global cities as the spatial frame, and cultural diversity as the topical frame.The common aesthetics of global literature, urban fiction, and ethnic writing identified in this literary analysis are 'the poetics of narrative,' 'the poetics of place,' and 'the poetics of code-switching.'Thus, the three selected contemporary North American novels serve as examples of how an analysis by a 'poetics of diverCity' provides the opportunity to analyze ethnic urban literature in a globalizing age in a structured way.

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.
