Abstract
Abstract (E): This article considers the intersections and interactions of the poetic and essayistic in<br />Chris Marker’s Le Tombeau d’Alexandre. It compares Marker’s film on Alexandre Medvedine to the<br />Denkbild, or “thought-image,” a prose-poetry genre described by Gerhard Richter and practiced by<br />Walter Benjamin. This comparison reveals both the resonances and contradictions that occur between<br />the personal and the critical within Marker’s poetic essay-films. In doing so, this article suggests that<br />one must regard Marker’s work as possessing a critical-lyricism that seeks to negotiate the difficulties<br />of achieving the correct distance and perspective in the personally invested act of criticism.<br />Abstract (F): Cet article explore les interactions entre les qualités poétiques et essayistiques dans Le<br />Tombeau d’Alexandre de Chris Marker. Il compare le film de Marker au Denkbild ou « imagepensée<br />», un genre poétique décrit par Gerhard Richter et que l'on retrouve chez Walter Benjamin.<br />Cette comparaison révèle les ressemblances et les contradictions entre la vue personnelle ou subjective<br />et la vue critique et objective dans les films d'essai poétiques de Marker. Cet article amène à suggérer<br />qu'il convient de considérer l'oeuvre de Marker comme étant habité par un lyrisme critique qui cherche<br />à atténuer les difficultés dans l'atteinte des bonnes distance et perspective dans l'acte de la critique<br />personnelle.

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 it
