La valorisation à travers les récits de vie mythiques: le projet autobiographique de Mӧtley Crüe au sein de la culture rock
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mötley Crüe is a glam metal cult group that was popular mostly during the 1980s. They are still well-known for their decadent lifestyle. Since 2001, the four members of the band (Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Vince Neil and Mick Mars) have published no less than six autobiographies, amounting to a dense and varied autobiographical project. This doctoral dissertation examines Mötley Crüe's autobiographical project in terms of its performativity, or in other words, its accomplishments. The mythical narratives that are told act on rock culture on four levels in particular: sex, drugs, rock n' roll and wisdom. In order to understand what Mötley Crüe's autobiographical discourses mean, I chose to do close readings of numerous passages which offer us narratives taking us into their debauched lives, and rely on the many "I"'s weaved into the text. As a contribution to cultural studies, my analysis of these different narratives benefits from the theoretical input of many fields of research, including communication studies, gender studies, literature, sociology and art history. This research shows that rock culture has moved to welcome sensational discourses (sensational both in terms of the bodily sensations described and the strong impressions these discourses create), like those articulated in the autobiographies (and the first, in particular) by members of Mötley Crüe. At the same time, the group's later autobiographies reveal another movement: their autobiographical discourses correspond more and more with the values through which rock culture is consecrated, as they speak more and more of their songs, their artistic visions and their creativity.

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.
