Tensions and Ambivalences of Pride Politics in Uncertain Times
Bibliographic record
Abstract
SEPTEMBER 2018 we travelled to Kirkenes, a town on the Norwegian-Russian border, to attend the Barents Pride organized in collaboration between LGBTI+ activists from Russia and Norway (Liinason and Sasunkevich 2022).This Pride differed from what we knew about world famous Prides in cosmopolitan cities across the world, such as Sydney (Markwell 2022), Toronto (Kates & Belk 2021), or Johannesburg (Conway 2022).Kirkenes is a small, almost rural, Norwegian town on the coast of the Barents Sea, thirty kilometres from the border with Russia.Late September was sunny but crisp there.In line with dominant metronormative assumptions about Prides (Wasshede 2021), we thought it was an unconventional location for Pride activities: too small, too distant, and too cold.The Barents Pride was initiated in 2017 by LGBTI+ activists from Murmansk, a city in the Russian North-West.The Barents Pride was on the one hand a response to increasing state homophobia and violence against LGBTI+ people in Russia, on the other -being organized through a cross-border collaboration between Norwegian and Russian LGBTI+ organizations -a sign of mobilization and transnational solidarity among LGBTI+ activists.This special issue, and our general interest in Pride politics, partly stems from our attempt to grasp and conceptualize the ambivalences of the Barents

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.
