Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This intervention offers a series of preliminary analytical arguments on the current Latin American political conjuncture. It argues that the period of progressive hegemony that characterized Latin America in the first decade and a half of this century has been succeeded by a much more volatile political period of ‘desitituent impasse’. The new era is marked by fragmentation and ephemerality, above all, but with a built-in, tendential advantage for the far-right, and novel structural challenges of global stagnation and inter-imperial rivalry for those new left and centrist-populist experiments that persist.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
