Abstract
While work is an economic act – work has a price, the wage rate – it is also a cultural act. Culture goes all the way down. It seeps into every aspect of the work process, shaping its meaning, norms, values, institutional settings, hierarchies of control, artifacts, and embodied practices. As an idea, the culture of labor was first developed within political economy, and linked in one way or another to issues of social class and transformation. Since the 1970s, however, as a result of profound shifts in the Global North toward a service‐based, postindustrial economy, the political‐economic interpretation has increasingly fallen out of favor. Instead, the culture of work is more and more understood through the lens of cultural and social theory and drawn frequently from feminism and poststructuralism. Illustrative examples are provided from economic geography, the discipline within human geography most concerned with labor and the culture of work.

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.
