Abstract
Abstract: This article draws upon recent studies of anti-modernism to explore the relationship between consumer culture and family cottaging in Ontario during the quarter century following the Second World War. It examines both the actions and ideas of actual postwar cottagers, as revealed primarily through oral history, as well as the representations of cottaging that appeared in postwar newspapers and magazines. Using these diverse sources, the article establishes the symbolic importance of summer homes during this period and illuminates the extent to which cottagers themselves sought to embrace the simple life. The evidence indicates that cottagers' relationship with consumer culture was marked by ambivalence, as summer homes provided a means of both escaping and fulfilling the prevailing ethos of materialism.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
