Flânerie in Text and City: The Heterogeneous Urban Publics of the Georgian Feuilleton
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Georgian feuilleton developed in fits and starts in the first 5 years of the first Georgian newspaper, Droeba. The feuilleton is an exemplary genre in the development of Georgian publics, both urban and print. The digressive narrative of the feuilleton meanders between, ties together, and dialogizes the disembodied world of public texts and the embodied world of real public places, drawing together two different, seemingly antithetical senses of “public”. First, the “metatopical” public created by the circulation of Droeba, a disembodied reflexive intertextual world of stranger‐contemporaries, fellow readers of the newspaper reading in their private homes, writing about different somewheres from the perspective of a voice from nowhere. Second, the concrete spatialized set of public places and the quoted, overheard, voices of crowds, stranger‐consociates, to be found in those public places, the streets and especially gardens, of the city of Tbilisi which is the exemplary locale which can be presupposed as a “here” shared between the writer and his readers. The feuilletonist dialogizes the garden heterotopias of the city, just as he dialogizes the heteroglossia of the city. The feuilletonist‐qua‐flâneur then arises at the conjuncture of two public worlds, two parallel streams of circulation of literature and life.

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.
