Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This essay argues that the idea, idiom, and performance of gossip play a formative queer role in Gertrude Stein's innovative drama. In Ladies’ Voices (1916), an exemplary early effort to listen to gossip as a formal model, Stein productively negotiates her drama's competing desires for agency and disembodiment by reimagining the voice of gossip – which belongs both to everybody (what everybody's saying) and no body in particular (you didn't hear it from me) – as a theatrical space in which one might float on the sound of dish, both courting and resisting the embodiments of identity and performance.

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.
