Feeling, Sensation, and Being Moved: Case Studies in Affective Performance
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article examines three recent adaptations of canonical works of modern drama – Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler, Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire, and Botho Strauss’s Gross und Klein – that resituate their historically troubled female characters within the temporality of the contemporary spectator. It argues that Katharina Schüttler’s cool and detached Hedda for the Schaubühne Berlin production, Isabelle Huppert’s karaoke-singing Blanche DuBois in Odéon – Théâtre de l’Europe’s Un tramway, and Cate Blanchett’s emotionally vulnerable Lotte in the Sydney Theatre Company’s production of Gross und Klein bring gestural extra-literary qualities to the characters and unexpected affective registers that call for a new interpretation of gendered experience. The analysis focuses therefore on the feeling, somatic, non-cognitive, and pre-rational sides of lived experience in the west today. It is interested in how gender and emotion, sociality, and historicity produce gestic affects that move audiences along the pathways of reactive feeling and sensation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
