Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Like the nameless character in Kevin Jared Hosein’s Commonwealth award-winning story “Passage,” we are not going to make it out with our bodies intact and we have come too far to turn round from the necessity of engaging the complex implications that arise between the weather and our bodies. “Climate crisis” is one such implication that this article explores. It turns to strange weather events narrated in Hosein’s story and in news media. Taking guidance from Hosein’s narrative and reading news narratives through an interpretive disability studies framework, the article reveals the tangled relation between conceptions of the body and the environment that allows for second thoughts on what scientifically based climate crisis discourse is not providing. This reading reveals that the ways of knowing crisis need a critical, imaginative reworking. The analysis suggests that by grappling with the interpretive complexity that is now our strange weather can we better understand and less easily perpetuate the crisis that we have produced. Such grappling requires attending to how bodies (dis)appear in weather narratives produced by bureaucratic-scientific rationality.

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.
