Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This discussion is a reformulation of ideology-critique from the point of view of Marx’s theory of the value form. This rethinking of ideology – a formulation I call a value theory of ideology – is carried out through a reading of Marx’s analysis of the capitalist perceptual economy articulated most systematically in Volume iii of Capital. In the course of this ‘rethinking’ I also revisit several concepts that have become associated with Marxian ideology-critique and which are often presented as grounds for the latter’s dismissal: inverted appearance, false consciousness, economism, and the base-superstructure metaphor.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
