Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Ever since the release of Mark Rappaport’s groundbreaking video essay, Rock Hudson’s Home Movies (1992), we have been invited to re-read the melodramas of the 1950s through the lens of Rock Hudson’s sexuality. Rappaport pays special attention to Douglas Sirk’s collaborations with Hudson. The social context that Sirk depicted was the idyllic, white-washed, straight, suburban paradise of Eisenhower’s America; a space of repressed conflict and desire, making it ‘the straightest space imaginable’ (Dines 2010: 1). Rappaport’s work has imperatives for the interpretation of Sirk’s films, especially in relation to Hudson’s sexuality. Rappaport invites us to ‘read against the grain’ the Sirk-Hudson collaborations and to uncover the breaks in the ideological logic of heteronormativity of 1950s suburbia. This symptomatic reading uncovers the secondary revision of queer sensibilities that have been re-contained in Sirk’s melodramas. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Not 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.
