Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Recently, ‘obesity epidemic’ discourses have begun to focus on the ‘problem’ of ‘childhood obesity.’ Notwithstanding the fact that it is not clear that childhood obesity is a serious health problem, individual fat children are increasingly being targeted by anti-obesity interventions, despite the significant emotional and physical risks inherent in such measures. In order to understand why this is occurring, I operationalise Dorothy E Smith’s (1999) theory of ruling relations in order to draw out the ideological basis and implications of mediated textual representations. Drawing from Law and Mol’s (2002) work on case study methodologies and Titchkosky’s (2007 : 23) assertion that the texts we encounter in everyday life ‘are our world,’ I analyse three appearances of the ‘childhood obesity epidemic’ discourse within articles from online news sources. I find that the world constructed within these articles is one in which fat children’s bodies are understood as economic problems, and the children themselves are regarded as individual failed subjects within the currently dominant ideology of neoliberal capitalism.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

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.
