Female Bildungsroman In Contemporary Chinese Transnational Literature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The recent decades witnessed the growing number of Chinese transnational novels (Ng & Holden, 2006), and some of them have achieved great success, especially those English novels written by overseas Chinese female writers and focusing on female bildungsroman. Yan Li and Xiaolu Guo are the most outstanding representatives. In this study, I explore the female bildungsroman in Chinese transnational literature in English written by overseas Chinese female writers. The two texts chosen for the study are A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers (2008) by Chinese-British novelist Xiaolu Guo, and Daughters of the Red Land (1996) by Yan Li, a Chinese-Canadian writer. In my analysis, the development of the female protagonists in the two novels will be explored through the framework of transnational literature, which refers to the contemporary literature that has developed as a consequence of the transfer of information and ideas among different peoples, cultures and identities across a transnational field (Morgan, 2017).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
