Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This essay is both an introduction to and an examination of the early political and social affairs cartoons of Vancouver Province newspaper cartoonist James B. Fitzmaurice (1875-1926), who used the tools of visual rhetoric to create an imagined consensus in British Columbia. In the years 1908-1909, Fitzmaurice consistently presented a British Columbian view on a range of political and social issues, a view that was constructed using a commonly understood visual rhetoric that privileged certain partisan groups and specific class, gender, and racial/ethnic beliefs. The essay further explains why Fitzmaurice abandoned his British Columbia view for other less critical themes during and shortly after the First World War.

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.
