Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Discourses of 'security,' which have been closely linked to power, have often taken the form of an apocalyptic vision. Recuperated as inevitable ending and destruction, rather than as revelation, disaster is then inflicted on humans. Significantly, the immeasurable violence concerns the other , not the self. Ultimately, this apocalyptic spectre is self-perpetuating and self-fulfilling, the source of its violence internal. War becomes its privileged mode to attest to its own existence. Its violent repression displaces the political onto religious narratives, negating the other as 'diabolic' and constituting a form of dehumanization. Alternative imaginings of apocalypse recuperate disorder into creative possibilities of inclusion and restructuring. The opening of the political lies in the potentiality of apocalyptic visions that remember the other and insist on the human. Rawi Hage's De Niro's Game allows for a vision of history in which the human quest for freedom and relation opens to a beginning and a future.

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.
