Abstract
This special issue is an outcome of seminar: Families and Memories arranged in Oslo, Norway, June 15-17, 2009. The seminar was part of annual seminars arranged by Committee on Family Research (CFR) in name of International Sociological Association (ISA). It was co-arrangement between CFR, Oslo University College (OUC) and Center for Studies of Holocaust and Religious Minorities (HL-center). The seminar took place at Villa Grande which hosts HL-center. It is place of great symbolic significance as it was private estate of perpetrator Vidkun Quisling, who headed Nazified government during German occupation of Norway 1940-1945.By combining two usually separate research topics/amzfei on one side and on other, we wanted to open up new direction of knowledge production. Family is much researched topic within social sciences. Although studies often focus on how experiences within are memorized and interpreted, concept of memory is not usually highlighted. Within memory research realm of family is quite natural place to study phenomena such as traditions and memory construction, but more as context for analyses than as an analytical and theoretical concept. Linking two areas, and memories, transcends disciplinary boundaries that often separate social sciences from humanities. By combining these two research traditions, we hoped to encourage new approaches that will increase our understanding.It started as an idea. By sending out call for papers, we experienced that also others saw combination of families and memories as interesting and we were overwhelmed by responses. We had hoped that our idea would create some interest, but we had not foreseen extent it actually did. We had to exclude several papers because of space limitations and ended up with 80 participants from 23 different countries from all five continents. In choosing participants, we took care of having different fields and traditions of research represented. This special issue: Families and Memories: Continuity and Social Change is first of two publications from seminar. The second publication, Holocaust as an Active Memory, is an anthology and will be published by Unipub publishing house later this year.This special issue focuses on social continuity and change, genuine perspective in sociology that is also crucially relevant in memory studies. It addresses question of how continuity and change is reflected in family memories. We tend to see not as mirror of but rather as products of processed past. The past as it was, will never reoccur exactly same way. However, through memory we bring past into present. In this respect this special issue is leaning on shoulders of George Herbert Mead, even though articles are not explicitly referring to him. According to Mead durations are a continual sliding of presents into each other (Mead, 1934, p. 334). And, the constitute earlier periods with future within it. The past is not an entity by itself. The reality of past will always be in present (Mead, 1934, ? 335). The past fluctuates like river where one can never step down in same river again. Memory is link between past as it once was and present. And when has passed, it also becomes past that can only be reached through memory.Modem theory of historical consciousness corresponds with Mead's way of thinking without making an explicit link. Jorn Rusen for instance considers memory and human existence as mode of being in time (Rusen, 2008, p. 3). Like Mead, Rusen sees past, present, and future as interlinked forming an existential framework of human activities. We approach past out of needs for orientation that emerge in our situation: by constructing meaningful patterns of historical experience we enable ourselves to develop future perspectives and frameworks for agency. …

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
