Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Tom Thomson is a legendary figure in Canadian culture. That legend was created after his death by a group of colleagues and admirers, many of whom had or later took up central positions in Canadian art circles and were important contributors to the nationalist movement of interwar Canada. Thomson's mythologisers created a symbol and a myth which combined their concerns about modernity - its threats to manhood and to Canadian society - and their desire to build a national cultural hero out of their own experiences. But their antimodern enthusiasm for the wilderness vacation also reinforced - though with a newly enthusiastic emphasis - an existing definition of Canada as an untamed country filled with rugged, virile men. In the face of the challenges of modernity, the Thomson of legend revitalized the independent and virile manhood his celebrants considered to be essential aspects of the national identity.

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.
