Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Queer theory developed as an interrogation of the multiple discursive productions of sexuality, seeking to denaturalize the assumed connections between sex, gender, and desire. It did so in part as a break from the prevailing analytic frameworks for theorizing around sexuality. This chapter outlines the emergence of queer theory and some of its distinctive themes and critical sensibilities, highlighting its shared genealogies with feminism as well as its break from it. We consider what queer theory is against, what queer theory is for, and what it has to say about law. The chapter explores how queer legal theory differs from a more rights-based approach to LGBT issues by focusing on the Supreme Court’s decisions in the sodomy challenges and the same-sex marriage challenge.

Not 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.
