Abstract
In this special issue on multidisciplinary explorations of childhood and temporality, we add to a growing body of literature that critiques linear time’s injurious effects on children. As an illusion that produces the stable, traceable child subject, we argue that adherence to a temporal essence reduces capacities for childhood and childhood studies. The articles in this special issue illuminate cripped, queered, affective, lingering, and diffracted temporalities, and highlight the racialized, colonized, neoliberal, and developmental violence of “progressive” time. When we challenge linear time’s authorizing power, what possibilities for theorizing childhood emerge? We suggest, along with our contributors, that the exciting temporal landscape in which childhood studies finds itself opens avenues not just for fresh inquiries but also for different political modalities.

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 it
