Abstract
This article takes up recent theories of French political theorist Jacques Rancière to reassess the radical nature of Adrienne Kennedy's address to both viewing and reading audiences of her work. According to Rancière, the political promise of art rests in both its unpredictable effects on an always active spectator and its ability to reorder the sensible world, the partitioning of which determines and polices what can and cannot be said, seen, heard, and understood. I argue that Kennedy's radical contribution is located not only in her racially charged subject matter and technical innovations but in the model of spectatorship she presents to her audiences and invites them to take up – a model that breaks down boundaries between watching and acting (reading and writing) in ways that hold liberating promise for her characters, and by extension, the audience as well. Kennedy's audience address is one that does not, in Rancière's words, “anticipate its effects” but rather invites consideration and complicity from a community of equally “emancipated spectators” made all the more aware of their own identity positions in the reception of her work.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
