SAFE ENVIRONMENT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE: ECOLOGICAL \nIMPERIALISM IN MARGARET ATWOOD’S ORYX AND CRAKE
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study provides a postcolonial ecocriticism analysis of a contemporary novel Oryx and Crake (2003) by the Canadian writer Margaret Atwood, in order to examine the Ecological Imperialism termed by Alfred W. Crosby. Amidst the \nmassive environmental deterioration there is still unevenness among the people in pre-apocalyptic society. In the need to emphasize the representation of natural \ndisasters that are results of misguided scientific developments and political decisions, this study break down the occurring issues by using the three forms of Ecological Imperialism; biocolonization, dualistic thinking, and environmental racism. All three forms of Ecological Imperialism occurred in the novel and were \ncarried out through the formal elements; setting, main characters and point of view. The representation of the Ecological Imperialism in the novel is carried out \nthrough the last man survivor narrative, advancement of technology, and the oppression of the countries in Global South. The findings show the representation of Ecological Imperialism in Oryx and Crake (2003) centered in the greed of the privileged, desperation of the people, and the political prominence of the corporations.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
