The Streets, de Marlene Nourbese Philip: denuncia y redención de la Historia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper offers an analysis of The Streets, a short play framed within the essay "Dis Place-The Space Between", by Afro-Caribbean-Canadian author Marlene Nourbese Philip.The play follows the argument developed in the essay, namely, that the sign "woman", and more specifically that of "black woman" has been expelled from the "outer space" or social sphere and, as a consequence, has been erased from historiography as well as from a particular instance of the writing of Philip herself.Tackling most of the themes which are a constant source of preoccupation for the author, the essay searches for the reasons for that suppression or silencing, as well as for the means of overcoming it.The Streets operates as a symbolic redemption of that suppression.The play, incomplete and fragmented, recovers the historical figure of the jamette, a black woman 'of loose morals' who through her heterodox behaviour manages to sidestep the reclusion within her "inner space" devised for the black woman by the secular connivance of patriarchy and white hegemony.El prestigio de Marlene Nourbese Philip en la escena literaria internacional se debe principalmente a su coleccin de poemas She Tries Her Tongue, Her silence Softly Breaks (ganador del prestigioso premio de poesa Casa de las Amricas en 1988), mientras que su reconocimiento en Canad obedece ms especficamente a su infatigable dedicacin a la crtica cultural, campo en el que ha publicado extensamente (1993b, 1994a, 1997a).Una faceta menos conocida de Philip es la escritura dramtica.Su pgina personal en Internet seala la autora de tres obras de teatro: Coups and Calypsos (puesta en escena en 1996), Harriet's Daughter (adaptacin de la novela del mismo ttulo estrenada en el ao 2000, sin publicar), y The Redemption of Al Bumen: A Morality Play (1994b).Sin embargo, a stas se puede aadir una cuarta, The Streets, una propuesta dramtica integrada dentro del ensayo "Dis Place-The Space Between", publicado por primera vez en 1994 (en Keller y Miller 1994) y despus compilado en la coleccin A Genealogy of Resistance and Other Essays (1997a).A Genealogy of Resistance es, hasta el momento, el ltimo libro publicado por Marlene Nourbese Philip.Se trata de una continuacin de su anterior coleccin de artculos, Frontiers, Essays and Writings on Racism and Culture (1993b), puesto que vuelve a abordar la mayora de temas que trataba en aqul, temas que obsesionan a Philip como escritora.Por otra parte, se puede entender este libro como una conclusin y culminacin de su obra, ya que todos los textos que conforman A Genealogy of Resistance ofrecen una madurez remarcable, tanto a nivel formal como de contenidos.En cuanto al primero de estos aspectos, esto es, el estilo, se ha pasado de la linearidad discursiva que dominaba en los primeros ensayos de Frontiers (sin prejuicio de los recurrentes puns, juegos de palabras, investigaciones etimolgicas, etc. que ya apuntaban all) a un tipo de argumentacin totalmente personalizado: se trata de un

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.
