 "description": "These claims set out the operative caption: every caption operates, and the question is for whom and at what cost. The O'Keeffe Problem gives three tests for an operative caption, and the counter-captions of Operation Epic Fury add a test for irreversibility. Operative Feminism and the Eve room read the tradition's recaptioning of Eve's choice as temptation as the founding compression of the feminine.",
