Queer Ethics and the Event of Love in Álvaro Pombo's "Contra natura" (2005)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Este articulo se centra en la representacion del y la amistad en una de las ultimas y mas aclamadas novelas de Alvaro Pombo, Contra natura (2005). Ba sandonos en las ideas de Alain Badiou sobre el del amor que aparecen, entre otras obras, en su Logics of Worlds, y, en menor medida, en el concepto derridiano de amistad de Politics of Friendship, examina la relacion entre los cuatro protagonistas de la novela de Pombo (Javier Salazar, Juanjo Garnacho, Paco Allende y Ramon Duran) a fin de determinar que constituye un verdadero amoroso en el sentido empleado por Badiou. Este ar ticulo argumenta que, a pesar de que la novela (a traves de su idiosincratico y obstinado narrador) parece representar la renuncia de Allende al amorfisico con el joven Duran como un acto de integridad etica, es el profundamente antipatico Javier Salazar quien, con su respuesta inflexible al rechazo de Juanjo Garnacho, se erige de hecho en el sujeto de un acontecimiento amoroso. Al caracterizar a Sa lazar como un agente de la pulsion de muerte y de lo que Lee Edelman denomina sinthomosexuality, la novela de Pombo acaba defendiendo simultaneamente una etica queer radical y la nueva politica dialectico-materialista propugnada por Badiou.

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.
