The Gendered Gaze: Torrellas’ Sadistic “Martyrdom” in Grisel y Mirabella
Bibliographic record
Abstract
La escena del “martirio” antropófago de Torrellas en Grisel y Mirabella está cargada de significado simbólico que los críticos han interpretado de diferentes maneras. Sin embargo, se ha ignorado el papel que desempeñan las teorías visuales para establecer sistemas de poder en la interacción óptica entre las ejecutoras y el ejecutado. Este estudio sostiene que la reina y sus damas usurpan la mirada masculina y convierten a Torrellas en un(a) “mártir” virginizada que recuerda las narraciones martiriológicas y cristológicas, transformándolo en un fetiche erótico para satisfacer su placer voyerístico. Palabras clave: mirada, sadismo, martirio, voyeurismo, Grisel y Mirabella The scene of Torrellas’ cannibalistic “martyrdom” in Flores’s Grisel y Mirabella is fraught with symbolic meaning, which scholars have interpreted in sundry ways. Critics have neglected the role visual theories play in establishing systems of power in the optic interaction between the executrixes and the victim. This analysis aims at showing the role-inversion of the male, objectifying gaze. This essay argues that the queen and her ladies usurp the male gaze and turn Torrellas into a virgin-like “martyr” in a way that resembles martyrological and Christological narratives, turning him into an erotic fetish for the sake of their voyeuristic pleasure. Keywords: gaze, sadism, martyrdom, voyeurism, Grisel y Mirabella

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
