<i>La Donna Mobile</i>: Massimo Bontempelli’s <i>Nostra Dea</i> as Fascist Modernism
Bibliographic record
Abstract
‘‘La Donna Mobile: Massimo Bontempelli’s Nostra Dea as Fascist Modernism’’ offers a reading of the 1925 play Nostra Dea in the context of the widespread aesthetic return to order of the period. Discussing the play as a response to Gabriele d’Annunzio’s decadentism and F.T. Marinetti’s futurism, the author considers it one of the new ‘‘myths for the modern era’’ Bontempelli called for in his literary movement Novecento, which he claimed was spiritually akin to fascism. Revealing how the play both draws on and subverts key aspects of fascist modernism — such as its ‘‘rhetoric of virility’’ and ‘‘aesthetization of politics’’ — the article finally cautions against simple equations that render art of the right ‘‘irrational’’ and art of the left ‘‘alienating,’’ suggesting that the play’s ideological ambiguity is its artistic success.

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.
