Iconicity, History, and the Cultural Imageries of Body and Soul
Bibliographic record
Abstract
"While some of our publications are now issued under the auspices of Brepols Publishers, we are especially pleased to present this volume through the newly founded Szeged University Press. Iconicity, History, and the Cultural Imageries of Body and Soul comprises a wide array of topics; yet, all contributions share a commitment to investigating the practices of cultural symbolization. The volume includes revised and expanded versions of selected papers from the 2013 conference, alongside newly commissioned essays. It is organized into three thematic sections: “From Theory to Practice,” “The Iconology of Body and Soul,” and “Reimagining the Corporeal and the Spiritual.” The twenty-one contributing authors represent a diverse international community of scholars from the United States (including W.J.T. Mitchell, a keynote speaker at the penultimate conference), Canada (notably David Graham, a constant participant since 1993 who has missed only one conference), as well as Bosnia, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain. We hope this rich and varied collection—also available in open access digital format—will serve as a valuable resource and source of inspiration for scholars and students worldwide, whether they are practitioners of classical iconological methods or pioneers seeking to rethink and revitalize the field’s enduring legacy." (quoted from the Preface)

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
