Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Fictional works that engage with issues of oppression and marginalization hold utopian potential for queer racialized persons. Queer of colour utopianism is integral for the materialization of queer justice, but its discussion in the context of fiction and law is often limited to fictional utopian societies. Building on the idea that a better world must first be imagined before it can be created, this article argues that reading and engaging with ‘visionary fiction’ is a utopian exercise that benefits the goals of social justice. The article begins with a brief outline of the political implications of the term ‘queer’ and connects that in detail with the lesbian feminist ethics of the vampires in Jewelle Gomez's 1991 novel The Gilda Stories. By underpinning the utopian impulses of Gomez's vampires with José Esteban Muñoz's queer of colour utopianism, this article articulates a broader cultural understanding of utopias and their relevance for social justice visualization.

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.
