Baudrillard, Youth, and American Film: Fatal Theory and Education (Kip Kline)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Kline's book Baudrillard, Youth, and American Film starts out with a rather provocative statement: "These are desperate times for children and adolescents" (p. 1). Though this statement is somewhat problematic in my mind-in that it always seems that young people are in desperate times according to the adult world-Kline's book is genuine in its contention that the North American West, though steeped in a rhetoric of "what's best for the children" (p. 1), is actually, and has always been, rather hostile towards young people. Young human beings are generally assumed to be in a period of rebellious transgression and/or complete and utter confusion. Whether adolescence is naturally imbued with a defiant and rebellious tendency or these dispositions are adopted by youth through countless years of adult suggestion and imposition, the adolescent subject, or "teenager," is typically perceived as unable to understand how the world operates; that is, how to see things from an adult perspective. It is of course not adolescents who make such claims about themselves, but the adults who write about them, for them, and most importantly, as them.

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.
