Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The work of the contemporary novelist and short-story writer Marie-Hélène Lafon, in which the question of origins occupies a prominent place, can be seen as fertile ground for a psychoanalytical reading. In the short story ‘Jeanne’ (2002), of which the present study constitutes the first in-depth analysis, the place held by the title character in the familial structure reveals itself to be decisive. The relations which Jeanne has with others are all marked by the weakness of her paternal figure, and Jeanne’s story can be seen to be an unconscious appeal to the maker of the law, a quest that culminates in a perversion, specifically, fetishism. This failure of the ‘name-of-the-father’ establishes an unconscious structure in which the subject, unable to find a way out of the Oedipal triangle, identifies with her lack, consoling herself in a perverse ‘jouissance’ and consequently never managing to break free of her origins and come into her own as a desiring subject. This study of ‘Jeanne’ takes into account Freud’s, and especially Lacan’s, theories pertaining to fetishism. The latter, in conceiving of perversion as an appeal to the paternal function, puts the reader in a position to see in perversion not some kind of moral failing, but rather a psychological structure obeying an ‘other’ logic, that of the signifier.

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.
