Body Battlegrounds: Transgressions, Tensions, and Transformations, by Chris Bobel and Samantha Kwan
Bibliographic record
Abstract
I n Euro-American society, we have a tendency to act as if we live from the neck up.Bobel and Kwan's edited volume, Body Battlegrounds, brings into focus the ways embodiment enters into our daily lives as we establish social control and transgress those boundaries to reclaim ourselves and redefine the meaning etched into our bodies.The contributors to this volume explore a variety of ethnographic subjects to problematize the "naturalness" of the body and show how bodies are situated in a cultural and social milieu that both seeks to control the body while providing particular opportunities for embodied resistance.The contributors examine how patriarchy produces rules to control the bodies of women and queer people, as well as prescribing what masculine bodies should be and do.They show how embodied knowledge gives us a holistic understanding of phenomena, not only in our daily lives but also in our research practices.The book consists of four parts, each comprised of three or four research essays, followed by a series of personal stories.

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.
