Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Reviewed by: Various Positions Deborah Stevenson Schabas, Martha . Various Positions. Foster/Farrar, 2012. [336p]. ISBN 978-0-374-38086-1 $16.99 Reviewed from galleys R Gr. 9-12. When Georgia is accepted to the best ballet school in Toronto, she's thrilled. Her joy isn't simply because she's a dedicated acolyte of dance, but also because ballet school gets the fourteen-year-old out of public school, where the growing sexual interest of her classmates fills her with panic; additionally, she's keen to get away from the strife in her family, which, in Georgia's eyes, is the fault of her weak, demanding, [End Page 422] and overdramatic mother. While ballet school isn't the complete departure from adolescent sexuality she had hoped, she's elated by her growing recognition there; she also believes that her attention from Roderick Allen, the famous dancer who's for decades been the school's artistic director, indicates an interest beyond the professional-which leads to her taking disastrous actions to encourage him. While Schabas' narrative voice for Georgia is often oversophisticated for both the character and the age, the exploration itself is nuanced and disturbing. Georgia's already skewed read on relationships (she has absorbed her father's view that husband-pleasing is the main marital goal) plausibly unbalances further amid the ballet school's all-encompassing focus on the director's approval. It's frighteningly, heartbreakingly believable that she's convinced that her winning that approval has sexual implications, which in turn gives her a significance in a man's eyes that she yearns for, and that her parents' emotional neglect of her combines with her own naïveté to clear the way for some appalling missteps. This will resonate with many girls negotiating the meaning of their own bodies and the implications of male attention. Copyright © 2012 The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
