Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This thesis examines the use of diegetic pre-composed music in three American lesbian feature films.Numerous trends can be noted in the selection of music in lesbian film broadlymusic is often selected to draw on insider knowledge of the target audience of these films, creating cachet.This cachet comes with accompanying "affiliating identifications" (Kassabian 2001) that allow music to be used in the films' construction of characters' identities.This is evident in the treatment of music in many lesbian films: characters frequently listen to, discuss, and perform music.This thesis focuses specifically on riot grrrl music and the closely linked genre of queercore (which together Halberstam ([2003] 2008) refers to as "riot dyke") in three films that focus on the lives of young women: The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love (dir.Maria Maggenti, 1995), All Over Me (dir.Alex Sichel, 1997), and Itty Bitty Titty Committee (dir.Jamie Babbit, 2007).By examining how diegetic riot dyke music is used in these three films to build characters' identities and contribute to the films' narratives I argue that in these films, riot dyke music is presented as being central to certain queer identities and communities, and that this music (as well as the community that often accompanies it) is portrayed as instigating or providing opportunities for characters' personal growth and affirming characters' identities in adverse environments.

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.
