Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Le Charlatan ou le Docteur Sacroton (1780) de Louis-Sébastien Mercier est propice à l’analyse d’une sorte de « première société du spectacle ». La comédie-parade interroge, par cette figure éminemment théâtrale, la civilisation du simulacre qui éclot au coeur du Siècle des Lumières. Le personnage du bonimenteur surjoue le rapport à l’illusion théâtrale, multiplie les effets d’ostentation spectaculaire et suggère l’existence d’une relation désintermédiée entre orateur et auditeur. En tant que figure de comédien, mais également du tribun, susceptible de haranguer les foules et d’anticiper sur les effets de réception, il apparaît comme un procédé commode d’« artification », susceptible de porter le doute sur l’espace public structuré par la représentation. Mercier met ainsi en place une véritable politique de la merveille : au-delà de la satire du charlatan et des croyances populaires, la plaisante évocation de cette parole susceptible de donner vie, à la manière du mystère de l’Eucharistie, lui permet non seulement de sublimer l’efficacité symbolique du dispositif théâtralisé, mais encore d’entacher l’autodétermination et la conscience critique du public dont il vient pourtant de glorifier la capacité de jugement. Il s’agit de proposer une analyse dramaturgique précise de l’économie des affects et de l’anthropologie de l’attention qui s’y jouent.

Not 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.
