Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We live in “interesting times,”perhaps wished upon us by the ancient and overworked curse that opens The Postmodern Adventure; and it just keeps on getting, well, more interesting. As convenient as the turn of the Christian calendar was for periodizing Western history, the dawn of the 21st century—the so-called new millennium—did little to orient our understandings of the world in which we live. During the past couple of decades, many have taken comfort in a notion that with new times would come ascension to the rapture of a postmodern, postideological (Wilson,2002),era.Yet periodization is problematic for cultural studies;cultural “shifts and turns are not breaks and ruptures”(Best & Kellner,2001:104) in the flow of time. Jameson (2001) suggests that periodizing which delineates postmodernity diminishes the fact that it is an extended and important phase of modernity and, whereas the latter is of such importance to the shaping of the human experience,we ought not to think it has passed. Steven Best and Douglas Kellner have been prolific (cf. Postmodern Theory: Critical Interrogations, 1991; The Postmodern Turn, 1997) among scholars who have contributed understandings of the milieu to which the label of postmodernism is affixed.While The Postmodern Adventure (2001), might at first seem an attempt to prolong the agony and the ecstasy of the discourse, Best and Kellner—who in 1997 contextualized the turn toward postmodernity by theoretical review—now veer away from mapping by periodization and toward studying both the turn and the terrain in popular culture and contemporary developments in science and technology.

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.
