Historicising Is Not Enough: Recent Developments and Trends in Irish Theatre History
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Arguing in favour of Ulster regionalism - an advocacy movement that sought to use the idea of a distinct "Ulster" culture so as to naturalise the recently established and highly contested six-county unit of Northern Ireland - David Kennedy advances the idea that Irish Catholics "take naturally to the theatre." That "Gaelic stock" are those for whom "the heightened traffic of the stage is hardly to be distinguished from the vivid emotional experiences of everyday life" is not a new assertion. Whether to act the mick, to indulge the blarney, or to engage in periodic acts of spectacular insurgency, Irish culture regularly conveys an impression that it is peculiarly theatrical, and yet lacking the discipline of the theatre as an institution. As with the Compact Oxford English Dictionary's fourth definition of the word Irish — "Irish in character or nature; having what are considered Irish characteristics; specifically, used of seemingly contradictory statements" — Irishness sometimes denotes a kind of refractory logic that seems to have all the gratuitousness and the intransitivity of the theatrical.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
