Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ReVisions examines speculative fiction, film, and television created by artists in Canada and reflecting their distinct experiences. Bringing together critical and creative works by eighteen different authors, the book re-envisions Canadian politics, cultures, and societies and asks important questions about representations of our world. The collection examines the realm of the past through a futuristic, speculative lens, asking readers to revise their understandings of past events and current relationships. Editor Wendy Roy assembles a variety of investigations of Canada and the larger world, including studies of the use of apocalyptic and dystopian scenarios by Indigenous writers to revisit Canada’s history of colonization. The varied contributions demonstrate that speculative writing can help us to see what is happening in the world around us and at the same time to re-envision it, to reconsider the consequences of our actions, and to imagine revised and perhaps better futures.

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.
