Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Since the start of modern colonialism at the end of the fifteenth century, concerns about food accompanied conquistadors in any “discovered” part of the world. While being fundamental for the colonizer’s physical well-being and survival, food was an integral part of their cultural identity and political authority in the territories that, so went a typical claim, were inhabited by savage and uncivilized Indigenous peoples. Yet, these peoples, be that the Inuit of Alaska, the Haudenosaunee of North America or Native inhabitants of Indian Tranquebar, had their own food cultures and modes of subsistence that suited their living environments. The present issue explores colonial food encounters in different parts of the world, from North America and India to Zambia and Siberia, during the early modern period. The present article offers an overview of the rich scholarly literature on food and colonialism and situates the contributions within this growing research area.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
