“‘Everything in this new world, a wound’: hospitality and violence in Jamila Osman’s poetry.”
Bibliographic record
Abstract
There is a new generation of Somali poets in the United States and Europe, mainly women, writing about home, war, migration, and diaspora. This paper examines the Somali American poet Jamila Osman’s critiques of hospitality and sexual violence against women. The aim of this article is twofold: I first examine Osman’s poetic representation of hospitality, dramatized by an encounter between a Canadian border official and a female African refugee at the airport. In exploring the intersections of home, migration, and borders in Osman’s poetry, I draw insights from Jacques Derrida’s and Mireille Rosello’s discussions of hospitality and the immigrant. I then analyze Osman’s portrayal of sexual violence against female refugees: violence at the border, violence in the nation, and violence at home. Although Osman demonstrates that sexual violence silences women and undermines their selfhood in their new countries, underlining the transborder character of violence, she highlights women’s capacity to reclaim their voices and reassert their sovereignty within the domestic and communal spaces.

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.
