Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

En 1911, Edward S. Curtis (1868-1952) entreprend de faire un film sur les tribus indiennes vivant sur l'île de Vancouver, à l'ouest de la Colombie britannique au Canada.Photographe professionnel, Curtis connaît déjà les Kwakiutl, auxquels il a consacré un tome de The North American Indian, œuvre monumentale parue en vingt volumes mêlant textes à visée ethnographique et quelque 2000 photographies 1 .Curtis veut saisir l'Indien avant sa disparition complète (the vanishing Indian), n'hésitant pas à mettre en scène et à costumer ses personnages.In the Land of the Head Hunters, sorti à New York et à Seattle en 1914, se présente là encore comme une sorte de reconstitution historique : vêtus des habits traditionnels en écorce de cèdre, des Kwakiutl exécutent devant la caméra les coutumes, rites, fêtes et jeux de leur tribu dans un cadre naturel.Le film de Curtis est ainsi le premier à recourir à un casting entièrement composé d'Indiens, huit ans avant Nanook of the North de Robert F. Flaherty (1922).L'autre originalité de In the Land of the Head Hunters repose sur la trame narrative élaborée servant d'arrière-plan aux reconstitutions des scènes traditionnelles.Motana, fils d'un grand chef indien, part faire une retraite initiatique dans la forêt au cours de laquelle il voit apparaître en rêve sa future femme, Naida.Mais celle-ci a été promise par son père au Sorcier de l'île voisine.Le clan de Motana lance une première attaque sur le clan du Sorcier, dont on craint la puissante magie noire.Ce dernier a la tête coupée, puis le mariage est célébré en grande pompe.Mais le frère de la victime, Yaklus, a réussi à s'échapper et prépare sa revanche.Il met à sac le village de Motana, Edward Curtis, In the Land of the Head Hunters Transatlantica, 1 | 2013

Not 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.
