Identity: Precarious Sexualities: Queer Challenges to Psychoanalytic and Social Identity Categorization
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the essay “The Theory of Seduction and the Problem of the Other” (1997), Jean Laplanche writes of a concept that attrac-tively resonates with the term queer, insofar as queer sexuality is quintessentially defined by its inexplicability, incoherence, vola-tility, and contingency in contradistinction to a sexuality whose owner would claim is stable, fixed, and identifiable as an integral part of the self. Destabilizing claims to an abiding, undisturbed notion of the self, Laplanche speaks of das Andere—the other-thing in us, the otherness of our unconscious—that all attempts at psychoanalytic interpretation cannot master. Laplanche pos-its that sexuality is an enigma, both for the child confronted with the riddle of sexuality that the adult represents and for the adult who can never master the uncanny as first encountered in childhood. The parent in turn unconsciously transmits an aura of sexual mystery to the child, perpetuating and completing the cycle. Das Andere is hence the internal otherness that we perpet-ually carry within us and that de-centers us, but that is founded by contact with an external otherness.

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.
