<i>Raptus</i>, Ravishment, and “Self-Divorce”: The Heterotopic Space of Malory’s Morgan le Fay
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Morgan le Fay is an “outsider” character in Malory’s Morte Darthur. Despite being closely connected to Camelot, Morgan quickly sets herself apart from Camelot both legally and physically, establishing herself as an antagonist to Arthur’s rule. Using Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopia, I argue that Morgan le Fay’s act of setting herself apart from Camelot results in the creation of a heterotopic space around her, and that this space extends and enhances her own agency while also allowing for a consideration of how her character disrupts the chivalric order of Camelot. Alongside this, I explore how Morgan’s abduction of Launcelot and his forced entrance into her heterotopic space allows for an examination of the lack of language as it pertains to a male victim in the Pentecostal Oath and in medieval English laws of raptus and ravishment.

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.
