Blondes have Less Fun, Actually: Depictions of Traditional Femininity in the Post-Zombie Apocalypse Metropolis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
[Introduction]: "Rarely in our world, in what we believe to be “modern,” “civilized” society, is chaos considered desirable. Order is what we strive for instead: it gives us our government, the social systems upon which we rely, and shapes the structure of our daily lives. While in the abstract, chaos can seem like an exciting, even desirable departure from the status quo, in the context of a global pandemic (like the one through which we are currently living), disorder and uncertainty often prove more terrifying than the virus itself. Which stores will close, and for how long? Who exactly is at risk of infection? When will we be allowed to see our friends again? Chaos, in this context, becomes the enemy of societal survival, threatening humanity’s civilized self-image and testing communal ideals. Colson Whitehead’s Zone One and M.R. Carey’s The Girl with All the Gifts both use the pandemic setting to investigate ideas about chaos and its relationship to civilization, but their pathogen of choice is no ordinary infective. In both books, a zombie crisis is responsible for the destruction of humanity as we know it, making tangible anxieties about how we define ourselves in opposition to one another, and what it really means to be “civilized.”"

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.
