Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The usefulness of the label “baroque” as a literary concept has been fiercely contested ever since Wölfflin first applied a term usually imagined in terms of the visual arts to literature. We will question how different traditions of literary scholarship have imagined and redrawn that relation between form and ideology, and how they have embraced, rejected, or hybridized the baroque as a label. How has the concept enabled or thwarted a comparative work thinking beyond national literary tradition? We turn to two case studies in order to find out what the concept of the literary baroque has allowed in different traditions: in France, where the early modern period has often been defined in terms of a particularly French classicism; and in Latin America, where the style became a proxy for American innovation within European traditions.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
