Abstract
Representing Mass Violence, by sociologist Joachim Savelsberg, examines how the Western world portrayed the mass violence in the western Sudan region of Darfur during the early twenty-first century. The study is based on in-depth interviews with relevant agents such as international legal specialists, humanitarian aid workers, diplomats, and journalists, as well as on an ambitious quantitative analysis of more than 3,300 North American and Western European newspaper articles. To frame his topic Savelsberg employs Kathryn Sikkink’s notion of a “justice cascade,” which posits that the increase in international prosecution for human rights abuses over the past two decades has had a significant political impact. He also uses Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of a “social field” in which agents operate according to a distinct worldview. The subjects of Savelsberg’s study work in their own specific fields, a fact that shapes their opinions and expressions but also allows for improvisation. Savelsberg also employs intersectionality, demonstrating how interconnected variables such as educational background, nationality, and gender influenced actors.

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 it
