Abstract
Abstract In this article I evoke key elements of my Italian grandmother's life—her knitwear workshop, her practice as a tailor, and her sensorial engagements with bodies and dress—and interweave them with reflections from my fieldwork in Milan, Italy. Family stories about my grandmother are steeped in things that have disappeared—objects and materialities, forms of women's work, and familiar places in a changing city. Loss and absence are here a particular form of memory that shapes relations between generations of women. I am particularly interested in the difficulties of researching the lives of women when these center objects, places, senses, and experiences that have been displaced as part of historical and cultural change. To this end, I draw from the work of Italian anthropologist Ernesto de Martino. His attention to losing one's place as a form of presence, and to magic as a strategy for noticing that which disappears, helps me consider the stories of my grandmother alongside the changing roles of small tailors and dressmakers. In this context, “intimate ethnography” is a strategy to attend to gendered and historically precarious work while taking into consideration its performative, material, and embodied aspects.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
