Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the process of surviving the fin de vingtieme siecle, British theatre re-enacts both literally and metaphorically the end of the nineteenth century, finding in the witty disillusionment of Oscar Wilde a way of seeing present reflections of failed humanism and modernism. The erosion of spiritual values finds expression in portraits of debauched idealism and self-loathing. Dorian Gray's picture comes down from the attic and inhabits the drawing room. That Wilde's life is more the object of scrutiny than the plays he wrote is also a reflection of a contemporary compulsion to investigate the relationship of life and art — an inquiry into biography as self-portrait. David Hare's The Judas Kiss opened at the Playhouse Theatre in London in 1998, produced by the Almeida Company, and transferred to New York, with Liam Neeson as Wilde; Moises Kaufman's Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde opened in 1997 in New York (and concurrently in San Francisco), directed by Kaufman at the Greenwich House Theatre, and was produced during the summer of 1998 in Toronto at the Canadian Stage Company's Berkeley Street Theatre, again directed by Kaufman; and Wilde, the movie, stalling Stephen Fry, was released in 1997.

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.
