Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As Alison Halsall’s chapter explores, the Canadian LGBTQ+ comics scene features perspectives from many different communities—Cherokee and Two-Spirited; Japanese Canadian and queer-questioning; Hindu, transgender, and non-binary—all showcasing the personal experiences of intersectional insight and agency that queer characters encounter. The particular visual formats of Daniel Heath Justice’s comics parable, Vivek Shraya’s comic Death Threat (illustrated by Ness Lee), and Mariko and Jillian Tamaki’s young adult graphic novel, Skim, consider queerness as an aspect of gender identity, race or ethnicity, and spirituality. In these Canadian LGBTQ+ comics, queerness is at work at the interstices of other modes of accounting for selfhood, as their brightening and invigorating feature.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
