Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Ana Castillo’s novel Peeling My Love Like an Onion tells the story of Carmen Santos, a disabled flamenco Chicana dancer and singer, who suffers from an ethnic identity crisis and the internal and external problems of mainstream cultural marginalization during her career. The changing nature of Flamingo dance enables Carmen to overcome both mental and physical barriers, break the internal boundaries between normal and abnormal in the white-dominated American society, and realize the reconstruction of the adaptive and mobile identity of the Chicana people. This paper explores how Carmen uses disability to deconstruct the normal, uses flamenco to challenge the ideal body of traditional dancers, and uses her perseverance to challenge the normative concept of identity and gender, highlighting a mobile and independent identity that is different from the traditional disability identity.

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.
