Abstract
This article theorizes the collective unconscious of academia, developed by way of a symptomatic reading of Black studies’ uptake in York’s Social and Political Thought Programme (SPT). Interrogating the dual (negro-)phobic and philic responses revealed by SPT’s culture of anti-Black hostility, this article contends with how the academy mediates, restricts, and captures Black studies’ scale and the politics of its demands in service of liberal amalgamation and the capacitation of an anti-Black ensemble of questions. Thus, this article ultimately argues that, like “the Negro,” Black studies, in the collective unconscious of civil society and refracted through the prism of the academy, remains a stimulus for anxiety and the locus of the unthought—even and perhaps most especially as its institutional presence is avowed.

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.
