Laughing Out Young: Laughter in Evan Placey’s Girls Like That and Other Plays for Teenagers (2016)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Evan Placey, dramaturge anglo-canadien, écrit pour les adolescents. Malgré (ou à cause) des thèmes sérieux et douloureux abordés dans ses pièces (le coming out dans Banana Boys, le déterminisme social dans Holloway Jones, le harcèlement scolaire dans Girls Like That, la réattribution sexuelle dans Pronoun), les personnages rient, et le spectateur aussi. Linguistique, culturel et contextuel, nourri de l’actualité et de l’expérience de terrain du dramaturge auprès de jeunes gens, l’humour est un humour de jeunes, mais c’est le rire qui donne un effet de jeune. Par ailleurs, sur scène comme dans la salle, le rire n’est pas une expérience solitaire mais collective : le rire est contagieux. C’est aussi un mécanisme de défense face à ce qui échappe à la compréhension, au contrôle. C’est encore une stratégie d’attaque : le rire unit en excluant celui qui est maintenu en marge du groupe et a donc partie liée avec le tragique. Le rire, chez Evan Placey, sert donc à créer une tension constante entre distanciation et empathie.

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.
