Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As the modernity of modem drama recedes, historiography plays an increasingly central role in the discipline. The lexicon of postfeminism, postcolonialism, and postmodernism suggests that the ideological sands have shifted. The "modem condition" is no longer self-evident; the old structures of feeling, to borrow Raymond Williams's phrase, are no longer felt in the same way. The political contexts of modern drama are especially prone to erasure. Links between artistic practice and social commitment in many ways define the modern theatre, yet radical works often survive as purely aesthetic artifacts. Poised near the endpoint of the modern canon, Harold Pinter's career provides an exemplary nexus for dramatic historiography. Aesthetically, his works span modem and postmodern modes of cultural production. On the one hand, Pinter is arguably the last of the modern dramatists — a late practitioner of literary absurdism, in Martin Esslin's influential account. At the same time, Pinter has actively written for television and film, depreciating his literary status while immersing himself in commercial culture.

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.
