5. Reimagining Intersex Literary Renegotiations of the Dis/Continuities between Hegemonic Narratives and the Recognition of ‘Difference’
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fictional literary works about intersex themes that are mainstream enough to attract a larger readership are rare in North America.The most famous novel is clearly Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex, published in 2002, followed almost a decade later by Annabel, written by Canadian author Kathleen Winter in 2010.The relative success of both novels has resulted in making intersex themes accessible to mainstream audiences, which has helped to make intersex people more visible within society and contributed to the cultural renegotiation of intersex. 1Yet the scarcity of literary works that include intersex characters and/or deal with intersex issues marks a significant gap in intersex representation, which makes the literary negotiation of intersex necessarily highly selective and exclusionary and produces a very restricted narrative that defines the contemporary western literary 'canon' of intersex works. 2 Both 1 Middlesex won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the Ambassador Book Award, Spain's Santiago de Compostela Literary Prize, and the Great Lakes Book

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.
