Endnote 310: F&C glossed

quote

Jargon: Film/Cartridge Studies.

Context

The entire endnote: four words unpacking "F&C," the major Orin announces Joelle holds at the Legal Seafood introductory supper — the line that makes the director "slump and cringe" (150, whose entry carries the scene side). The note's flat "Jargon:" label does the work: Film/Cartridge Studies is established academic shorthand, a discipline settled enough to have jargon, and the P.G.O.A.T. arrives in JOI's orbit already credentialed in the field that studies him. The apparatus glossing the academy's abbreviation while the auteur cringes at it is the scene's joke restated at footnote scale. Cross-refs: 150 scene side; Joelle's apprenticeship arc from 068.
