Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Taking as a starting point the idea that literature can function as an epistemological medium in its capacity as a testing ground where experiments in the good life can be imagined, aesthetically realized, and critically interrogated, this article turns to speculative fiction as a genre suitable for the exploration of cognitive frameworks that may lead to hopeful futurities amidst the ground-shifting transformations of the Anthropocene, supporting not only the continuity of life, but also the good life. It examines the representation of the ethics of care at the Anthropocene’s tipping point in recent speculative fiction from Turtle Island/Canada, namely, Métis Cherie Dimaline’s young adult novel The marrow thieves (2017) and its sequel, Hunting by stars (2021), and settler Canadian Rebecca Campbell’s short story cycle, Arboreality (2022). It argues that they critique the modernist nature/culture divide underpinning the disasters of the Anthropocene while reworking the notion of the good life from alternative Indigenous and new materialist relational approaches.

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.
