Abstract
This article compares two works picked by celebrity book clubs in the summer of 2018 for their dissection of mainstream America’s ongoing obsession with the violence inflicted on beautiful young bodies of those who identify as female: Alice Bolin’s essay collection Dead Girls and Maria Hummel’s mystery Still Lives. In reading them together with Melanie Pullen’s High Fashion Crime Scenes (2003–2017), a series of monumental, five-feet-by-six-feet photographs in which well-known actresses and models dressed in haute couture were staged as murder victims in elaborately designed settings mostly in and around Los Angeles; Rosi Braidotti’s accounting of the two competing notions of life, bios and zoe, and how they coincide on gendered human bodies; and W.J.T. Mitchell’s understanding of images’ uncanny ability to live on and to animate bodies, my analyses consider the way different forms of artistic representation emerging in Los Angeles work for and against the biopolitical control of objectified, gendered life.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
